OTHER DETAILS

Remember, each package purchased is good for ONE person's admission to the party. Although there are no hard tickets to these parties, your name will be added to a guest list at the door. If you can't make it to the party for some reason, we're fine with you passing your ticket on to someone else but PLEASE send an email to kickstarter@enterthehaggis.com telling us the name we should be adding to the list in place of yours.

Both parties will feature food and refreshments. We'll listen all the way through the album together and give you some commentary and insight into the songs, as well as answering your questions.

We'll be playing shows both nights after the parties are over: March 16th at The Turning Stone (sold out, sorry!) and March 17th right at the venue (TCAN) where we're holding the party.

It's going to be a blast! See you soon.

FREE SINGLE #4 and Live Album Update

Update #31 - For backers only · Feb 25, 2013 · comment

For backers only. If you're a backer of this project, please log in to read this post.

FREE SINGLE #3: Down The Line

Update #30 · Feb 18, 2013 · 2 comments

Ok - we know you've all got the album already (unless you missed the download link in your email on Thursday). 

The rest of the world is still waiting, however - and we need YOUR HELP to spread the word!

This week's free single is track #3, Down The Line. It was inspired by Earl Scruggs' obituary in the paper, and it's one of the heavier songs on the album. A lot of you have heard us play it live already, and it's one of our favorites.

So.. even though we know this single isn't new to YOU, our faithful backers, we'd still appreciate it if you took the time to click the link and share it with your less-connected friends. We'll love you forever. :)

We'll be hosting another Hangout tonight at 9pm - come jump into the chat!

Your packages are being shipped this week, so keep an eye on the mail. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on The Modest Revolution!

Free Single #2: Can't Trust The News

Update #28 · Feb 11, 2013 · comment

Here's this week's free single! This is the second track on our upcoming album, The Modest Revolution. Download it and play it loud. Then, if you don't mind, share it with all your friends! We don't mind, honestly - after all, we recorded it with YOUR money. :)

This song features a few Kickstarter backers as guest vocalists: Claire Rayton, Catherine Wiegand, Erin Griffin and Kelly Elvin. We also hired a fantastic piano player named Joel Goodwin to add some shine to the track, and we couldn't have done it without your help!

The Adam Ezra Group stopped by the studio while we were recording and added their voices into the mix. Adam will be joining us for tonight's Google Hangout at 10pm where fans can ask questions and comment. Hope to see you there! 

Hangout with us here: http://www.enterthehaggis.com/hangout

We haven't recorded a live album since 2007's Northampton and will soon have three more studio albums to draw material from. We thought to ourselves: "What better time to record a new live album than in the comfort of a recording studio?" The only problem was that we needed an audience. That's where YOU come in! 40 of you will join us at Saint Claire in Lexington KY for a day. We'll play through (and record) a dozen or so songs including unreleased songs from the new album. Afterwards, we'll have a BBQ and hang out! Finally, you'll get a digital download of the new live recording once it's mixed! Travel/lodging not included.
