Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on January 21, 2012.

      Alright, here's an actual reply from an actual band member, responding to my post about your situation:

      Jeff the Girl: i think that those who got the lyrics were personally messaged to explain the tardiness and also to apologize for it...at least i thought they were. we will do that tomorrow if we haven't yet. sorry about that.

    2. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Michael Moore on April 8

      I will suggest, in the future, promised Kickstarter rewards aren't really that great of an idea for a timely gift due to the fact that most projects are things being done on the side. I'll defend that the band isn't lazy. They didn't stop everything to re-form as a band. They've all got full time jobs and families, on top of making a record and touring.

      have you given band@fiveironfrenzy.com a try?

      "Five Iron Frenzy Band@fiveironfrenzy.com - Some of these have not yet been finished. Please feel free to email and we'll see how fast we can help make it happen!" a response I got to a post I made on their Facebook page.

      Oh, they care. I just don't think they're seeing your stuff. Let's see if we can get you a better channel to get in touch with them as your stuff probably got lost in the mix of a lot of other messages.

    5. Missing_small

      Creator JK on April 6

      Yes many many messages. All ignored. And my emails were polite unlike my last statement but it really has come to this as they won't respond and they clearly don't care.

    6. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Michael Moore on April 6

      Have you sent an actual message? These don't get forwarded to the creator's email, messages do. There could have even been a mess-up that kept you from getting what you asked for, try getting ahold of the band directly, you might get something done.

      @micheal, they were promised April 2012!!! the hand written lyrics were promised to be delivered literally a YEAR ago! I don't care about the music it was just a gift that I mistakenly told the recipient about expecting that it wouldn't take a year later than the estimated day for something that take 5 minutes to write.

    8. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Michael Moore on April 5

      @JOK dude, we're not even a week into April. Cut the slack and take a chill pill, yo. We don't even have a release date yet, now don't be hasty.

    9. Missing_small

      Creator JK on April 4

      Any you EVER going to do the hand written lyrics? I know you have put this off because you want to make money on the record but I bought this for someone who really likes you and would really appreciate you taking 5 Fing minutes and doing what you said you would rather than taking money under false pretense and doing what ever you want when people have given you money. You are the ONLy people involved in getting this reward so it is literally your laziness not a mistake in estimatig manufacturing dates like other projects. I am never going to get this gift to one of your biggest fans.

    10. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Michael Moore on March 14

      I'm not sure we are seeing eye-to-eye on the definition of "soon" when it comes to announcing the release date. *clears throat* Still waiting "patiently" :D

      Creator Laura Larken on February 28

      Dumb question. I really want your new album on vinyl, but I pledged for something else. Will the new album be for sale on vinyl at any point??

    12. Missing_small

      Creator JK on February 5

      Since you promised the hand written lyrics before the Album why are you not prioritizing that? Seriously.

      Hey friends, I changed my address since backing this project. Can I send someone my new address to make sure I get the album in the mail?

    15. Missing_small

      Creator JK on December 19

      Its been 11 months since you took the surveys for the hand written lyrics.

      I understand delays based on manufacturing problems but you guys are the only one involved in this process right? Excited about the album hoping to give my wife the lyrics for Christmas as I already disappointed her telling her they wouldn't be here for her birthday 6 months ago.

    16. Missing_small

      Creator Daniel on December 13

      Could you please update us on when to expect the personal silly songs? Originally it said Aug 2012. I know you guys are swamped, but can you give us an updated estimate? Will it be when the new album comes out, or sooner?

    17. Zombie%20lower.small

      Creator Five Iron Frenzy on December 2

      We're still working on the album. It's coming along great. We're very happy with it.
      Anyway, we're thinking that we'll be able to release it mid-late spring, but you know how these things go, delays delays...

      Creator Five Iron Frenzy on November 11, 2012

      With so much work being put into the new album, the lyrics are on the back burner. Reese should be sending them out in December or so.

    21. Missing_small

      Creator NJGR on November 10, 2012

      Just came in to check on lyrics, too. I thought they were going to be delivered in October, so I was worried my postman had eaten them.

      I was going to ask the status of the care packages. But, get the guy below me his lyrics first and then we'll talk!

      Wait, never mind--just realized that I didn't provide my address at the time when I bid, I provided it much later. So it should be okay.

      Creator kisekileia on May 21, 2012

      My address has changed since I provided it for my T-shirt to be sent. How do I correct it? I can't easily just go and get the shirt from my old address--it's in another city.

      Creator Ed Giardina on May 20, 2012

      I ordered the hoodie as my gift but really regret not getting the poster. Is there any way I could buy the poster through Five Iron's merch store?

    32. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Nathan Lambes on May 17, 2012

      Just got my poster in the main today (along with a "thank you" from Jeff on the tube) and I have to say, the design really blew me away. It looks fantastic guys, I can't wait to hang it on my wall between my "Light of Things Hoped For" robot poster and "The Rise and Fall of Five Iron Frenzy."

      Way to class up the party.

      I was REALLY excited to see this, but apparently my grad school doesn't love FIF as much as it should. I have to miss because of finals, and therefore:

      I am selling TWO tickets, each one INDIVIDUALLY:

      Creator Matt Chapman on April 4, 2012

      Just wanted to share my experience with my Kickstarter reward. I got the 2-hour guitar lesson with Scott, which turned into basically a full day of hanging out with half of FIF for guitar jamming, a band practice session, pizza, a visit to Scum of the Earth, and frozen yogurt to boot.

      I just wanted everyone to know that the Five Iron team is just as awesome and/or lame as you think they are, and every bit deserving of your cash. ;-)

      Thanks for the good times in Denver, Scott, Brad, Micah, Andy, Leanor, and friends.

      Creator Joel M on February 9, 2012

      Question: I don't know where I'll be living a year from now when the album is released. Should I fill in my "Reward Survey" info and address now, or should I wait until close to release date when I know what my address will be? If I fill it out later, will it disappear before I can do so? If I fill it out now, can I change my address later?

      Thanks!

      Creator Peter MacDonald on February 7, 2012

      I am incredibly excited for FIF's return. You guys are still my favorite band all these years later, and I had long since resigned myself to not ever getting to hear you in concert again, or with new material. I hope you'll come to Canada on your tour - Toronto or Montral maybe.
