Kickstarter

Hello Kickstarters, 

We've gotten some word that our updates/emails have not been working correctly. If you've seen these messages below already, thanks for your patience with receiving multiple updates. 

First Official SLC Show

First of all, we wanted to let you know about our first show in Salt Lake this Saturday, April 27 at The State Room. We have played a handful of shows in the last few months, but haven't yet hit Salt Lake City until now. We have been invited to play the City Weekly Music Awards. It's a mere $5, and includes great bands in Matteo and L'Anarchiste. More details can be found HERE. 

Listening Parties

If you've missed our other updates, the audio for the album...is done. This is extremely exciting for us, and we had two listening parties this last week to celebrate. Some of you may have missed the emails and didn't hear about it in time. If you feel left out of the loop, let us know - we are considering doing another in Salt Lake sometime before the album release. 

Album Release

In regard to the album release, we've had some interesting opportunities emerge in the last month. In order to explore these opportunities properly, our release will be delayed for a couple of extra months. We want to make sure that you know how much we appreciate you and how so much of what we are able to do is a result of your generosity. You will still get the album before anyone else. You will still get every reward as promised. Our timeline has just shifted a couple of months. We greatly appreciate your patience, and we will keep you updated.

Hi Kickstarters,

Since the Kickstarter campaign ended, we've locked ourselves away and have been working diligently on the album. We've said it before, but we are extremely excited about it. We're still wrapping up many of the details of it BUT we wanted to share a full, finished song with you in the meantime. The song is called Benny.

Please click here to listen/download it from mideau.bandcamp.com. It is set up as a 'pay what you want', but you good people have already given us your support, so don't worry about that. The most important thing to us is that you listen, snag a free download, enjoy it, and share it with whoever you'd like. We will only have the song available until Valentine's Day, so go listen and get it. 

In other news, we are also assembling our STREET TEAM. This is for those of you that want to offer some extra help. As part of being on the street team, you'll help us with some promotional activities, but you'll get invites to exclusive events, opportunities to win free tickets to shows, first access to new songs, and more. If you want to be a part of this, email mideaumusic (at) gmail (dot) com and you can just type "YES" and we'll add you to the list. 

Thank you again for all the support. We're working our tails off to make a great album for you. 

- Mideau - 

We posted a song for you. 

Please check out this video. It is the first real listen to the record. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

We made it! Our goal of $10,000 dollars has been reached. On Wednesday, January 2nd, the great generosity of you backers put us over the edge. You have given your hard-earned money to fund our creative project, and for this, we are overwhelmingly grateful. We cannot thank you enough. 

What are we gonna do with our new funding? (1) Album Production & Artwork/packaging - first and foremost. (2) More Music – acoustic versions, B-sides, etc. etc. and so forth. (3) Music Videos – We have already begun planning out videos with some fantastically talented individuals. (4) Promotion – Radio campaigns, publicity 

You can still pre-order goods or increase your pledge until Saturday, January 12th. We are excited to share the rewards you’ve earned - we have been crafting the cases for the ‘Rare Acoustic Demos’ and getting ready to print t-shirts. Any extra support means more music, more videos, and more promotion. 

How far along is the album? We couldn’t help ourselves. We are much too eager to wait for Kickstarter, so we continued working tirelessly on the album. Your support through Kickstarter and other platforms bolstered our confidence to do more and keep working. We are in the thick of album art, wrapping up the music, and working through the many other details that require so much attention.

Merry Christmas Eve! This is just a short update to express our thanks and wish you well during the holidays. We have been working extremely hard on the album in the past couple weeks, and we hope to give you a sneak listen soon. 

Congratulations to Mason Porter - his suggestion, "Daniel" by Bats for Lashes, came up as the winner for the Mideau Cover Challenge. We input all of the suggestions into random.org, which randomly generated our winner. We will post our cover for free download on our Bandcamp Page after the holidays. Thank you all for participating, and helping us pass another sub-goal ($7500) with flying colors. 

We are SO CLOSE to our goal, which is extremely exciting for us. And, anything we get beyond $10000 will make it possible to do more music, more videos, and more shows. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for contributing, for listening, for spreading the word.  

2013 is going to be a great year.
