Funding Successful

This project successfully raised its funding goal on October 25, 2009.

Pledge $10 or more

19 Backers

A digital download of the album when released, plus your name will appear in a special digital thank you section on our website.

Pledge $25 or more

23 Backers

The above, plus an autographed copy of the physical CD when finished.

Pledge $50 or more

29 Backers

The above, plus you get a thank you in the actual physical liner notes of the CD, and a unique, yet to be designed, handmade t-shirt from the band that you can wear with pride, and make other people all jealous.

Pledge $100 or more

13 Backers

The above, plus you'll get exclusive video updates from the studio, or from wherever we might be at the moment, keeping you up to date with the progress. PLUS, you get the super exclusive (albeit handmade and relatively ugly) deluxe edition of the album, with the CD, and special DVD that will document and immortalize the entire project from start to finish.

Pledge $200 or more

5 Backers

The above... Except, instead of a thank you in the liner notes, you get a “Creative Consultant” credit. This means you'll get exclusive behind the scenes access in helping create the CD. Through a special site we'll set up, YOU will get to vote on demos and live recordings, helping us pick the songs we record. You'll get to submit suggestions for an album title, then vote for the final product title. You'll get to see album artwork and photos, helping us decide what should be used and what should never be seen again. In a sense, you get to be the 6th member of the band (depending on how donations go, you may be one of many 6th members of the band).

Pledge $300 or more

2 Backers

The above. Plus... we will record a cover of your choice, dedicate it to you, and upload it to YouTube. AND we will send you a mystery package of stuff from the band, packaged with love, which will include a handwritten thank you note. You could end up with actual handwritten lyric sheets from Brendan. You might end up with a lock of Dave's precious hair. You might just end up with an empty can of beer from our lockout and a gym sock. YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU OPEN YOUR MYSTERY PACKAGE!

Pledge $500 or more

6 Backers

All the above, plus, we will write a song about how freakin' awesome you are. We will then immortalize the song into the internets, post it on YouTube, so you can proceed to forward the song to everyone as a testament to just how awesome you are. Then we'll record the song as well, so you can load it onto ipods, zunes, and whatever else.

Pledge $1,000 or more

2 Backers

All the above, plus if you can get yourself to LA with a friend, you can join Brendan and Matt of The Quiet for a personal day out at the Disneyland resort -- that means Disneyland AND California Adventure.

Pledge $2,000 or more

0 Backers

All the above, PLUS, you can arrange a singing Quiet-gram to the location of your choice. Have a loved one you want to impress? Tell us where to go, and what you want us to play for them -- we'll have Brendan & Matt perform a special acoustic song just for them. Just want to make yourself look cool? We'll send Brendan and Matt to your home or office and they will tell you how awesome you are before serenading you with the song you are technically dedicating to yourself -- but we'll help you sell the lie that it came from someone else.

Pledge $5,000 or more

0 Backers

The above, however, instead of the Quiet-gram with just Brendan and Matt, all of The Quiet will come to your house and proceed to play an entire house concert for you, catered by The Quiet (while we might cook some food for it, odds are we'll just grab a taco platter from Del Taco or something on the way). YOU pick the setlist (doesn't even have to be Quiet songs). You get to invite whomever you want, and we'll just bring the noise. Or depending on your neighbors, the soft acoustic rock. If you don't want a concert at all, that's cool too. We'll just show up with some food and some of our favorite movies, and we'll have a movie night together. Though it will culminate in a screening of The Room, the worst/greatest movie ever made.

Pledge $10,000 or more

0 Backers • Limited Reward (1 of 1 remaining)

All the above, plus, Brendan will give you his share of publishing for a song. That's right. That's 1/5th ownership of a Quiet song that can be all yours!!! If it makes money someday... YOU get 1/5th of it. Well, it's technically a lot more complicated than that, but you will get the same amount of money from the song as the other band members. PLUS, you can come on out to the studio and play on the record. Maybe a tambourine. Maybe a hand clap. Maybe we'll just record you kicking Dave in the stomach.

“Los Angeles needs The Quiet. They have the capability to shake things up because they're not following any sort of predictable L.A. trend like corny Sunset Strip nostalgia or unwelcoming Silverlake snobbery.” – Rick Florino, Artist Direct, 7/18/09

The Quiet is a dynamic, original five-piece piano-pop band that draws comparisons to Ben Folds, Barenaked Ladies, and Elton John. With a solid, growing fan base responding to their diverse sound and high-energy live show, The Quiet regularly plays the Troubadour and has a monthly slot at Hollywood's trend-setting Hotel Café.

Happening upon a Hotel Café show, one music blogger writes: “Our search [for great music] culminated with an awesome band called The Quiet. The Quiet had one of the most entertaining performances I have ever seen.” –Hollywood Attic, 4/18/09

For the past two hockey seasons, The Quiet has played several VIP events for the LA King’s organization, and last year their music was featured on CBS's "Ghost Whisperer.”

Driven to broaden their LA fan base, The Quiet regularly plays a wide variety of SoCal venues, from Santa Barbara to San Diego, while maintaining strong sales of their well-received, first full-length album, "Greatest Hits.” Currently, The Quiet is working on raising funds for their second album via kickstarter.com.
