We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

New Song!

Update #2 · Jun 6, 2012 · comment

Thanks to your contributions and your encouragement, 51 backers have raised over $2,000 for the release. We cannot wait to get this new album in your hands!

One way we have to thank you is by "leaking" tracks from the new album for your listening enjoyment. Here is the first track off of Memories, "The Heart Grows Fonder."

Note: you can also click the play button at the right side of the J Minus (Official) facebook page to hear the track through ReverbNation: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/J-Minus-Official/469629295135?sk=app_2405167945

We have a week left of the fundraising campaign, and still a ways to go to meet our goal, so please continue to spread the word (and the music)!

love,
J minus

Off to a great start

Update #1 · May 19, 2012 · comment

Our first four days have been strong, with 37 backers getting us to 23% of our goal. We can't thank you enough for your quick response and support! If we keep up this pace, we will get to the finish line.

But...we still have a long way to go. Please pass on the word to anyone who might appreciate our music. Stay in touch online - we love reading your encouraging comments, messages, and facebook posts. And of course, let us know if you have questions about the album or ideas for our fundraising campaign.

A few reward updates:

1. We found an additional stash of Blue Moon posters, so we were able to increase the number of available rewards at the $50 level to 30.

2. We made the Regional House Show ($3,000 level) a little more fair and flexible - rather than limit our travel to specific states, we gave a driving distance radius.

We are well on our way. THANK YOU!
J minus
