Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Javelin is a band/production duo consisting of cousins George Langford and Tom Van Buskirk.
They started working together in 2004, Providence, RI, and have long since moved operations to Brooklyn, NY.
In 2009 Javelin released JAMZ N JEMZ, a collection of odds and ends that found its way around the internet with some vigor. Next came two 12" records for Thrill Jockey, a slew of remixes & mixtapes, and their debut album "No Más" on David Byrne's label, Luaka Bop.
In 2010 Javelin toured extensively in the US and abroad, supporting larger acts (Yeasayer, Girl Talk, Matt & Kim, Major Lazer)… sharing the stage with fellow hot tickets Warpaint, Sleigh Bells, Big Freedia, Washed Out, Delicate Steve… culminating in playing Lollapalooza, being cartooned in the New Yorker Magazine, and performing at The Whitney Museum all in the same month.
2011 promises to be an interesting year for Javelin, perhaps most promisingly and interestingly in the release of their country western songbook 10" entitled "CANYON CANDY" -- on Luaka Bop -- which brings us to the present purpose of this campaign...

Just go the Email, so excited, cant wait, thanks for putting this all together, I can only imagine how time consuming and stressful it's been.
damn i wanted to hear Canyon Candy on vinyl a lot sooner then December, funny the reward says "First opportunity".. but alas still no rewards! oh well, im sure it will be worth the wait
still never got my rewards - wth?
we are aiming to finish production this month, at which point we make DVDs and then everything is good to go. November 1-15 is a likely window. Plus there will be a SPECIAL bonus with each package, thanking everyone for their patience. We're almost there!
Any update on the timeframe for the rewards getting sent out?
This project will be funded on Friday Apr 8, 6:26pm EDT. I like that.
