Update #8 · Jul 6, 2012 · comment

Hey All,

Thanks again for supporting our kickstarter campaign.  I'm slowly sending out the socks and CD's as I get a chance to go to the post office (which is kind of an ordeal in New York). Sorry if you haven't gotten them yet--I'll send the last batch next week.

I wanted to let you know that we're doing our official release here in New York tomorrow night at a small club called Zirzamin at 90 w. Houston St in Manhattan.

It will be a great night with musical guests starting at 8 and ending with The Alex Mallett Band playing at 10!  As kickstarter supporters, you all get in for $free$!

Hoping to see you New Yorkers there!

Lots of love,

Alex

Hi All,

I just got the first batch of the final recording today.  I'll start sending them out this week so check your snailmailboxes :)

Also, mark your calendars for July 7.  We'll be releasing the CD in New York at Zirzamin (90 w. Houston) and for you supporters it's $free$.  Anyone that comes gets a CD so bring your friends and frenemies!

Best,

Alex

Hi all!

Thanks again for making this album happen.  The record is all done!  I got the masters back last week.  Until I have the chance to send you rewards you can download it here:

Enjoy!  I'll start sending out socks this week, although it will be another few weeks before I get the CD's... 

Thanks again!

Alex

Hey All!

Thanks to you, the campaign to fund our first album is fully successful!  Thanks for all of your support and sharing the campaign with your friends!  Please keep sharing the link until Friday when the campaign actually ends.  Every extra dollar we make will go into touring and promoting the record. 

If you're in New York come on down to our Roots Cafe this Friday night to celebrate with us.  It will be a grand olde time!

Gratefully yours,

Alex

3 socks away from finishing the record!

Update #4 · May 4, 2012 · comment

Woohoo!

We are only 3 pairs of socks away from being able to pay for our first record and the banjo socks in full!  And we still have a full week left for the campaign!

Thanks to all of you, we're going to make it!  We're so close!  

Please keep sharing the campaign with your relatives, co-workers, friends, enemies, students, teachers, preachers, chorus members, and favorite reality TV stars via email, snail mail, super hero spot light, facebook, myspace, twitter, pinkerest, or any other way that you reach people.  Any additional funds we raise will go back into the band--to promote this record or to make the next record (yes...I'm already thinking about the next one...)

Thanks again!

Alex
