About this project

****UPDATE 12/9/09****

Huge thanks to all of our backers who have given us a chance to record our debut album! We're so excited to get to work making the album, and truly would not have had the opportunity to do so without all of your support. It's an unbelievable that so many people believe so strongly in the music we put our hearts into. We are forever grateful for all of your support.

Now that we've reached our $10,000 minimum, we are able to start recording! Since a record has so many expenses, like producer fees, studio time, and even marketing, we are still offering pre-releases and all the other goodies on Kickstarter until the end date of January 1st. If you know someone who was planning on contributing but hasn't gotten around to pledging yet, or if you've just gotten so caught up in this whole Kickstarter thing that you want to make another donation, we want to assure you that every dollar over the 10K mark will still go towards ultimately making this band successful. After all, what's the point of putting all this effort into an album if no one's going to hear it?! That's where marketing, PR, and touring come in. We need to get the word out to all of the potential markets that may be interested in booking Midnight Hour. Also, we will need transportation to get to those areas, and of course, the more we can get the word out about Midnight Hour, the better for all involved. It all, of course, costs money (where does it end? :) ) This is where every dollar over 10k will go: producer fees, studio time, transportation, marketing, and PR.

As a reminder, all pledges made through January 1st, 2010 will still receive the backer rewards. Even if you don't have anything to give, just spread the word about Midnight Hour to your friends and other music lovers- that means more to us than you can imagine. Thanks again to everyone... for everything. You all are truly a blessing.

-Dan & Midnight Hour

Over the years, our band has accumulated more than enough material for a full length album and we want to document our hard work and success by finally making the full length CD our fans deserve! So, WITH YOUR HELP, we're going to make this record on our own without a record label!

Thanks to Kickstarter, we can raise funds to record our own CD without a label. We can take all these great tracks we've been piling up, narrow them down, and record the best record we can possibly make. And the best part? We can do it with the help of you wonderful people... and reward you with cool stuff in return!

When you make a pledge for our project, we get closer to our goal of $10,000. If we hit our goal by January 1st, your credit card will be charged, and we'll start making our new record. In return for your pledge, you get all kinds of cool prizes listed to the right. However, if we don't hit our goal in the time allotted, no one is charged anything at all, no prizes go out, and we all move forward as if nothing happened. Think of it as a glorified album pre-order, before we make the album! All payments are processed solely through Amazon.com, so your information is safe and protected.

We've been so lucky to have such AMAZING and WONDERFUL support from fans all over the world, and from our friends and family. The bottom line is, we want to make an album that showcases how far we've come as a band.... one that reflects the band you've come out to see at the shows. We want to finally document the years of hard work, ups and downs, successes and failures, and make the record we've known we can make all along.

But we can't do any of this without your help. Please show your support by making a pledge, and together we'll finally make a Midnight Hour full length CD!
