Update #10: We're funded! So... now what, right? ALL OF YOUR ANSWERS!

Posted on March 11
And now, the Kickstarter campaign has come to a close. It was successful (105% funding, whoooooo!), but you might be thinking to yourself "Hey, what happens now? When do I get my stuff?". Never fear, Marc With a C is here to explain it all.


First, Kickstarter has to gather the funds from all of you wonderful folks. About two weeks after everyone is charged for monies pledged, they release the funds to me. At this point, when the cash is in my hands, I'll send everyone a link where they can download the remastered version of Normal Bias on FLAC and mp3. And of course, after I have the funds, then I can pay the plants to press the CD's and vinyl. If you've ordered CD's/DVD's, you'll receive them separately from the vinyl. I don't expect it to take until August for you to get your merchandise, I'm just budgeting extra time for "worst case scenario" events. 

Also, once I have the funds in hand, I'll be messaging you to get much needed information, such as "where the hell do you want me to send this stuff" and for some backers "what song do you want me to cover" or "what do you want on your Marc Sings For You disc" and maybe even a "hey, what are you wearing right now" for good measure. 

For those that pledged at higher levels, I'll let you know how/when we're doing the live streaming home show for you. I wouldn't expect it for a few months, but hopefully just before summer, because I want to make sure that we do this correctly. 

Behind the scenes, I'm working diligently on preparing the vinyl master. It'll look good, and very similar to the original CD sleeve version you're already familiar with from "back in the day". Like, weirdly close to it. 

That's where we're at right now. I can't thank you all enough for your support, and for all of the help with reposting this link tirelessly and all. You're really fantastic, and I hope that you'll like all of this neat stuff!

Love on ya,
Marc

PS: Here's a new video for "Drunk Classic Rock Fans", featuring the remastered version of the song and starring Lando The Roadie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PQ7hDEG33I

Update #9: The unreleased 2005 Marc With a C album, "Bunnythumbs". For you. Enjoy!

For fifty smackers, you get Normal Bias on vinyl, CD and digital, but you also get a twelve song CD of the demos for Normal Bias. Some of the songs were much darker lyrically, and it's got a mood all it's own, for sure. The Normal Bias demo disc is exclusive to backers, and will not be repressed in the foreseeable future.

Estimated Delivery: Aug 2012

Pledge $75 or more Pledge $75 or more

2 Backers

At this level, we offer the super-ultra-mega-rare "Marc With a C: Live At Stardust 2007" DVD. Shot with two cameras in the smallest venue imaginable, it's (to our knowledge) the only full length Marc With a C show available on video. Over 20 songs performed, and a highly representative idea of what the shows in the Normal Bias era were like. This has been out of print for three years, and it's never been available as a standalone piece. Warts and all! PLUS, you get everything from the $50 tier!

Estimated Delivery: Aug 2012

Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more

2 Backers

Everything from the $75 tier, plus you're invited to a live webcast only performed for backers of this project. It'll be a full length show done from (someone's) home, and we'll make sure that the setlist is second to none.

Everything from the $175 tier, plus I'll make a "Marc Sings For You" CD personalized for you. This is where I play the songs live for you in one sitting with no retakes or overdubs... and you pick any *ten* of my original songs, and I'll play them for you like my life depended on it. It's an album made just for you!

Oh man. At this level? You get all of that stuff (Normal Bias on three different formats, the demo disc, the live DVD, the exclusive live webcast, all three of my prior vinyl releases, the Marc Sings For You CD) AND... I'll cover any song you want (except "Freebird"). You'll get it on a personalized CD, too. I might do it with just voice and guitar, maybe I'll do it super produced, but you'll get a cover of any song you choose in a style befitting of the whole Marc With a C ethos. (Also, please pick two, just in case one proves to be unworkable and I need a second option. I'm only human).

Estimated Delivery: Aug 2012

Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more

1 Backer • Limited Reward (5 of 6 remaining)

Everything from the $200 level... plus I'll write a song about you, record it for you, and you'll get it on a personalized disc. Again, it might be a solo tune, might be super produced, but it'll be about/for you. I'll send you a questionnaire requesting some factoids, and base the song on that. It might even be good!

Estimated Delivery: Aug 2012

Do you like rare records? Well, they don't don't get rarer than this: you'll get one of the test pressings of Normal Bias on vinyl, and there will only be 5 in existence. I'm keeping one, but you'll get everything at the $200 level (Normal Bias on three different formats, the demo disc, the live DVD, the exclusive live webcast, all three of my prior vinyl releases, the Marc Sings For You CD), plus this super limited version of Normal Bias that will surely turn you into the talk of the town. PLUS, I'll throw in a test pressing of an earlier vinyl record of mine. Which one? It's a surprise!

Estimated Delivery: Aug 2012

Okay, this is the big cheese. You'll get Normal Bias on three different formats, the demo disc, the live DVD, the exclusive live webcast, all three of my prior vinyl releases, the Marc Sings For You CD... plus? The four-track cassette machine that I recorded the demos and basic tracks for the Normal Bias on. Also, the entirety of my 2006 album called Life's So Hard was done on it. It no longer works, and I have an irrational emotional attachment to it, but I will totally send it to you, and that's about as close to being in the room while I recorded the album as you can get. And? I'll give you the red toy tambourine that is heard on three of the songs on the album ("Already Dead", "A Tale To Tell" and "Happy To Be Alive"). It has a butterfly on it.

For $10,000? I'll tell you where Squiddy lives. And I'll cover "Freebird". Once.

Connected as Marc Sirdoreus (550 friends)

Hello, I’m Marc With a C. I was born at a very young age, and I have a prolific penchant for writing and recording pop songs. I’ve made nine official albums in the last thirteen years, alongside more EP’s, live albums and official bootlegs than I can count. I like to record using whatever equipment/instruments are available at the time to catch what it actually sounds like when I play songs in a room.
