WOW!  I can't believe it.  And with a full week to go.  Thank you to everyone who contributed.  I would like to start sending out downloads ASAP so could everyone that ordered a download please send me your name and a valid email address to getsetgodownloads@gmail.com.  I will send them out over the next couple days!  Thanks again!  I love you all!

Mike TV

P.S. Actually, someone pointed out that the funds might have only been pledged and not yet actually paid for.  So, hmm...I really want to get these out and frankly, I trust everyone, but would you be perhaps upset if we were to wait a week?  Bleh.  I want to get these records out! And a week should be plenty of time for me to compile a master list of e-mails.  Oh, and addresses!  We could use addresses as well.  So I know where to mail everything.  Ha!  Sheesh.  Forget my own name next.

NSFW is our personal lord and savior!

Update #3 · Aug 17, 2011 · 12 comments

Eric and I just played the NSFW podcast.  It was ridiculous amounts of fun.  Brian, Justin, and their guest Owen were quite possibly, nay, actually are paragons of human genius.  Eric and I are still aglow.  Truthfully, we are actually hovering a couple inches off the ground and are actually glowing.  Thank you to all of you who attended.  Thank you to all of you who contributed.  Just so you know, we just recently reinstated our Ustream shows.  We do free Ustream concerts twice a week just to connect with our friends and fans.  If you want additional value for your donation, please feel free to join us.  Thank you, thank you, thank you. A thousand times thank you.

With great, steaming piles of gratitude and thanks,

Mike TV

P.S. Please support the NSFW podcast.  It is recorded live every week and if you're a geek like me, and love gaming, internet hijinx, and clever people being ridiculously clever, you'll love the show.  You can find it here....

New Thank You Gift! Dave's phenomenal documentary!

Update #2 · Aug 13, 2011 · comment

"This inspiring documentary about the birth & death of LA's KISS OR KILL music scene is a MUST-SEE for those that love the spirit of indie-bands."  - Chris Gore, Attack of the Show

Dave Palamaro, the drummer from Get Set Go, is also a professional editor.  He has worked in television for many years and as a labor of love, five years ago, he began to interview people from our Los Angeles indie-rock/punk-rock scene.  Five years later, after wading through hundreds of hours of footage, he has finished what is, in our humble opinion, a masterpiece.  It's awesome from beginning to end.  And for a 40 dollar donation, Dave will send you an advance copy of the dvd.  Now this is not for sale.  You'll be receiving a burned disc of the movie itself as a thank you for donating the money.  But it will give you a front row to the music scene that we, Get Set Go, were proud to call ourselves part of for over 10 years.  Take a look at the trailer...

New Album Art for the project we're trying to finance!

Update #1 · Aug 11, 2011 · 1 comment

Thanks so much to everyone that has donated thusfar.  We're moving ahead with the album release as scheduled!  Everything is going gangbusters!  We just received art!  Take a look.....

Photobucket">Photobucket" />

Okay, I don't know why exactly this image is posting twice and I can't seem to figure it out because, frankly, I'm an Internet noob.  *sigh*  However, this is the art for the fifth album, Fury of Your Lonely Heart!   Woo! 

Dave Johnson, or should I say, the Inimitable Reverend Dave Johnson, created this piece after long discussions over beers at the Drink & Draw in downtown LA. Obviously, a guy of Dave's talent doesn't show up every day and it is mind-blowing that he would even deign to do a piece of this unbridled awesomeness for a band as forlorn as Get Set Go.  I guess everyone's got an altruistic streak.  But it's incredible!  We hope you like it. 

Warm Regards,

Your friendly neighborhood Mike TV

I mean, they're scrawny ugly souls but we'll bare them nonetheless.

    Get Set Go will fly to your house anywhere in the continental US, Hawaii, or Alaska. They will bring with them a video camera and document our time together. They'll sleep in your bed, eat your food, and basically just live as scuzzy, rock-n-roll roommates with you for a full week. We will sing, get drunk, write songs, and have grand adventures. At the end of the week and for the rest of your life, you will be able to say to all of your friends, "Get Set Go stayed with me for a week." And they will say, "Who?" And then you can show them the video. Professionally edited by our brilliant Hollywood editor friends! Can you say Awesome? Or the inverse, we can fly you out to our respective houses, we'll take out out, we'll get you drunk, we'll dance, we'll sing, we'll puke on Persian rugs belonging to people whose names we barely know, we'll set fire to chihuahuas, eat canapes under canopies, harpoon the moon and drag it wailing from the sky, and basically end life as we know it, forever and always. Amen. (If you're happy with the video and you'd like us to include it on a future cd release, we will certainly do so. But it will be entirely up to you. Hey, you made it happen.)

    Estimated delivery: Jan 2012
