Update #14: The Records Are In The Mail!!!
Hello!
So the records have FINALLY been sent! You all should be receiving within the next week or so if you haven’t already.
Just a couple quick things:
- Info on the release show is coming, so New Yorkers be on the lookout for that soon!
- If you have a picture of the record’s arrival or you with record, etc. and want to share on facebook/twitter/blogs etc. I would, of course, LOVE that. And if you want to include a link to the bandcamp page where I’ll be doing on-line sales with pic, that would be so awesome as well.
http://leibyarogers.bandcamp.com
That being said, feel free to check out the bandcamp page!!!
- Wombsies: They are in production. I think I bit off a little more than I could chew with the rewards, and didn’t anticipate how much time and supplies it would actually take to package and mail out 100 records, but for those of you who donated to get a Wombsie, you will get one, I promise!
Okay I think that's it.
Thank you all so much!! It's been quite a learning experience putting this together, from the fundraising, to putting together the live show, to the production of the album, and I appreciate you all being so patient!
I hope you enjoy listening, and more info on release show coming soon!!
~Mindy (& Leibya)
Update #13: The records are here!!!
Hello hello!
There are now 500 12" LeibyaFair Live! records in my apartment! I'm so excited to get your pre-released copy out to you!
I know all mothers say this about their own, but they're so beautiful!
If you haven't done so already, please make sure that your correct address is updated in Kickstarter. And yes, there's a download card inside, but I think now is a good time to get yourself a record player. . .
Personal haiku will be sent along with your record if you haven't received already. And yes, the Wombsies are in production too!
More info coming on official release date/party/show!
Thanks so much!
-Mindy
Update #12: Please add your address.
Hello All!
I'd love to send you all some of the 12 Days of Leibyakah rewards and a special sneak peak CD of the holiday medley from the show!
So if you'd like to receive, (of course you do!) please make sure your address information is filled in/updated here.
And if you're not sure, you can always send your info to me at:
LeibyaFair@gmail.com
The LeibyaFair tracks are being mixed/mastered right now and are sounding really great!!
Thank you for being so supportive and patient!

Update #11: We're making a comedy record! BUST Mag review and Pics from show!
Hello,
Here's a little LeibyaFair Live recap.
The show went really well on Saturday! Thank you to those in NYC who could come out! And thank you all again for backing!!
BUST Magazine!!
BUST Magazine's site did a really positive write-up of the show: check it out
Mindy Raf Makes us Think While Making us Laugh ________________________________
Show Pics!
And the very talented Anya Garrett took pictures (click on pics or here to see whole set)
_________________________________
My Musical Menemies Nelson Dellamaggiore and Pat Holbert were so amazing! They really made the show great! (and let me boss them around on stage.)
I premiered the new rap song "My Vadge (is better than your vadge)"
Marc Pattini worked so hard on the track for me and did such a great job on it! And he taught me how to use a sampler on stage, which was so much fun!
I attempted to chug a glass of organic red wine on stage and spilled it all over myself.
hmmm...what else?
Of course like all live performances, it wasn't perfect. There were some unforeseen technical glitches (my mic was busted/ kept turning off and had to be switched out, I almost did a nose dive after tripping on chords, the jack thingy in my guitar broke the night before) BUT it made it exciting, kept me on my toes, and all in all I tried to just have fun on stage.
Video clips are coming!
Can't wait to get this album (and all your rewards) out to you all!
-Mindy
Update #10: LeibyaFair Live! is less than 2 weeks away!
Hello All,
LeibyaFair Live! is next Saturday September 25th 7PM
Oh, and reminder that you have a comp ticket for being a kickstarter backer, so all the more reason to come on down to the Lower East Side next Saturday!
Very excited to add the hilarious and talented Kate McKinnon to the show who will be dramatcially playing cello.
Also, the very talented actress/comedian Andrea Alton will be our LeibyaFair security guard and reading some peoms as her character Molly Equality Dykeman
And of course, the extremely awesome Musical Menemies: Pat Holbert and Nelson Dellamaggiore!
If you'd like to help spread the word, if you facebook or twitter or blog or tumblr, or know people in NYC that would dig the show and just want to send out an old fashioend e-mail, I would be ever so grateful.
Here's a quick link with all the info: http://bit.ly/cuJw8b
