Update #3: Where we're at!
Weirdly, my last update didn't seem to show up! Here's the summary of where we're at:
--We just sent out new mp3's from the album and a B-side to nearly all of our backers. If you were supposed to get one and didn't, please email us!
--We are waiting on final mixes from the great Dave Trumfio
--We've orderd t shirts, and are working on thank you notes and dedicated videos
--I'm sketching the artwork as we speak
--Our tentative street date for the record is June 7, but our backers will be getting packages before then.
If you have any questions at all, please email us at everybodyelse@gmail.com with "KICKSTARTER" in the subject line. For more info, you can also go to facebook.com/everybodyelse or follow us on twitter @Everybody_Else.
Thanks for your patience!

Update #2: My mind is blown
I can honestly say that my mind is blown by how well this has worked out. The fact that a completely indie band can make a record with the support of fans is a game-changer. We are so grateful, and will now begin putting the pedal to the metal on recording and finishing it up. If you think there's anyone else you know who likes the band and hasn't backed this project yet, hit 'em up. Maybe we can actually reach 10K!

Hey everybody, sorry for not posting an update here more recently--when you go into the studio and start thinking about nothing but music, it's easy to lose track of the outside world. The record is nearly mixed (waiting on the final draft from the mixer/masterer, the great Dave Trumfio) and I'm sketching the artwork as we speak. We will be sending the first few mp3's within a week and the physical stuff will start coming after that. We have already played a couple of the private shows, which have been amazing! A record takes a long time to make, as you all know, but I do apologize that we weren't clearer from the start about our time frame! Music and more updates right around the corner!
Love
Carrick
