Video song request. I will make a video (and audio, I suppose) recording of me performing any song of your choosing, with the single exception of War's “Why Can't We Be Friends?” I'll sing anything from “What'll I Do?” to “Poker Face.” Have you written a song? Well, if so, I'll sing it. You'll also get a digital download of the Russians LP and the b-sides CD.
Pledge $300 or more
One day of recording at The Moontower studio in Cambridge, MA with ol' Scott Janovitz as your engineer and guide. Wanna perform solo? Great. Have your own band? Capital. Wanna get your reading of “Howl” down on tape? I'm down. Complimentary CD and continental breakfast included.
Pledge $500 or more
Executive Producer credit on the CD and a guest list spot for you, plus one, to the invitation-only Russians record release party/performance in April 2010. Space is VERY LIMITED. Come and hobnob with the stars.
Pledge $1,200 or more
Russians house concert. Call up your friends. Stock the fridge with High Lifes. We’re coming to your house for a special, exclusive show. We might even feature cameos from some of Boston's rock luminaries. Feel free to charge at the door or just be super generous. And we take requests. (Must be in Massachusetts or otherwise within two hours of Boston.)
Pledge $2,500 or more
Head Russian Scott Janovitz will produce your record! We can work together to determine a schedule to complete a ten song LP. If you don't have a band, I'll help you get one together. And I promise not to go all Phil Spector on you, though I will definitely be wearing a wig.

Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm Scott Janovitz, writer, musician, producer/engineer, studio owner, lover, fighter, fan, award winner, biter, captain of industry.
In addition to my band The Russians, I am co-frontman of a rocking little combo called The Great Bandini, and I have toured with the great Graham Parker, Tommy Stinson, The Confidence Men, The Figgs, and Garvy J. What can I say, I like to play. Hey. Anyway...
My songs have been selected by Toyota and Absolut Vodka for promos, and one of them was named "best song" at last year's Boston Music Awards. The Russians were also recently featured as a CMJ.com spotlight artist. I am reserving space in my trophy case for further honors and accolades.
