We write songs and musicals. We're *this* close to finishing our debut album but we need your help! You'll like it. It's starry, indie, and epic.
::::::::::::Project Update Upon Reaching $10,000::::::::::::
You are a ridiculous, amazing, idealistic, stylish and happening group of people. We are completely and totally overwhelmed by your generosity and kindness. We honestly never dreamed of raising so much money in just four days! ... and we have 26 days to go!
It’s street team time (internet-style) and we need your help. We need you to spread the word. Tell everyone you know and let’s make it interesting:
If we make $20,000...
KARAOKE TRACKS AND ALBUM RELEASE PARTY FOR ALL!
We will make karaoke tracks for the whole album and give them to everyone who donated $35 or more for free. Everyone who donated $35 or more will also be invited to an exclusive album release party with us, our friends, and a piano. What could be better? (If you are too far from NYC to join us, you can give this honor to a friend.)
If we raise $30,000...
WE WILL MAKE A 2ND ALBUM AND YOU GET A COPY!
This is craziness – but you guys are crazy and so are we – and we believe that this second album would be certifiably awesome. Here's the plan: This spring, we attack all the New York concert venues, and record everything that happens. Way too many friends, way too many songs. The result is a special live album that captures the chaotic brilliance of one-night-only performances. If you donated $35 or more, you will get a free copy of the 2nd album when it is released. Insane? Maybe. But that’s just how we roll
Just to be perfectly clear, if you've already donated $35 or more, you will get these rewards, but ONLY IF WE REACH THE NEW GOAL. So get that word out!

FAQ
-
Soon. We're in the process of sending out backer rewards now. We're so sorry for the delay in this. Thank you SO MUCH for your patience. What a year!
-
We recorded the raw files over the course of 5 concerts but turning them into an album is a long and involved process. We'll start working with our engineer in the fall at some point and hope to have the album available in early 2012. Fingers crossed (we'll keep you posted!).
