Creator The Winter Sounds on July 15, 2012
Thanks so much David! We had a mushroom question on facebook the other day and I shouted for you :) But yes, looking at dates right now - will know soon!!!
Creator David Via on July 15, 2012
Three cheers for the girls and the guys. Looks like its time to begin thinking about a date for the WS Prom.
Creator The Winter Sounds on July 13, 2012
THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH! This is going to be a hugely exciting time and we literally couldn't have done it without you. I do appreciate and am happy to say that I know most of you and we're all good friends in here....!!!!!!
So we still have 50 hours or so and we're gonna keep pushing as much as possible. If we can get close to 9k we can put a full page ad in UNDER THE RADAR which will be in stores everywhere for the November issue... BUT the deadline for me to submit artwork to them is July 20 so please please go ahead and get your photos here: twskickstarter2012@gmail.com
Just in case you aren't sure what I'm talking about - look at the Michelle EP on www.thewintersounds.com and you'll see... We took all the photos from the last set of donors and made an album cover for it. this time we're going for a magazine spread!!!! I think it will be fun but you gotta send 2 hi res photos... Can be you - can be whomever/whatever you want.
And we'll say something like "Thank you to all these wonderful people who helped us put out our new album" yeah something tender and sweet because we are very thankful!
So, just for the next 2 days anything you can think to help spread the word, let us know
THIS IS AMAZING.
Creator Ashley Bellerue on July 13, 2012
Congrats guys! I knew you could do it!
Creator Riah Hone on July 12, 2012
Well, I guess technically it's just PLEDGED to the goal line, but "It's funded!" sounded much more exciting. CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!
Creator Riah Hone on July 12, 2012
It's funded! It's funded! OMG! It's funded!!!
Creator Brandon Levan on July 12, 2012
Upped my pledge to push this thing over the edge. Still a few days left to push it even higher too.
Creator Brad C. Davis on July 12, 2012
Alright, everybody get your wallets out and throw in one more dollar and we'll have this thing whooped.
Creator Kevin McKenna on July 12, 2012
I added $20 for Mrs. Liliana Botea (she doesn't ever put credit card info on the internet)
Keep it going, almost there!!!
Creator Ashley Bellerue on July 11, 2012
:D this is so awesome! you guys are totally going to make it!!
Creator clayton on July 11, 2012
this is a call to...ummm.... arms? :)
Creator clayton on July 11, 2012
Hell yeah! But.... people.... while $8,000 is the goal, let's all be aware that Kickstarter/Amazon takes a healthy percentage of the total money (as their fee) right after the fundraiser, SOOOOO let's aim for a $10,000 goal, k? :)
Creator Liz mother fucking Flood! on July 10, 2012
SOOOO CLOSE!!!!
Creator The Winter Sounds on July 10, 2012
I LOVE YOU ALL.
Creator Ashley Bellerue on July 10, 2012

Creator Elizabeth Lemerande on July 9, 2012
OMG so close!!!!!!! <3
Creator The Winter Sounds on July 9, 2012
Thanks so much everyone! Getting freaking closer than ever :)
Creator Brad C. Davis on July 9, 2012
If everyone donated another $15, you would have this in the bag.
Creator Shannon Robert on July 9, 2012
Getting closer! Paul Savas and I just threw in what we could - sending love and good luck wishes from all of us at Warehouse Theatre!
Creator Gloria on July 8, 2012
Hey guys! We had to be the ones to put you over the 6k mark :D I have to be honest, when I first saw this announcement I read it too fast and thought "Wow, they are all running an 8k to raise money? That sounds fun I guess..." Since discovering the true nature of the kickstarter, I've decided the prizes you guys have offered are much cooler than picturing you sweating it out with jogging shorts, sweatbands, and maybe some sort of water bottle holsters...? Anyway, we are glad to be a part of this project!! Come back east soon!
Creator Riah Hone on July 8, 2012
I don't think there is an emoticon to express my overwhelming enthusiasm about the "whoa, hell yeah" extras...... I tried out several, they all just looked lame. And is it weird that I'm most excited to possibly get my hands on other people's pseudo-professionally released thank you songs so that we don't have to keep trekking back to Youtube for another listen? Yeah, yeah, I'm thinkin' it's weird. Well, don't worry guys... we are going to spam your Kickstarter to everyone so much that we lose friends on FB over it. ,,.And if we don't lose friends over it, we'll delete a few just so it looks like we did! Haha. ONWARD! ^__^
Creator The Winter Sounds on July 7, 2012
Hey guys, always want to start off by saying thanks! It really means a lot and we are all super super excited to get to work on all these rewards! So...We have one week left and we are doing awesome. As of right now, we're at 5,241. Its really amazing to even be this far. I hope you guys have been keeping up with all the videos we are making. They post daily on youtube.com/thewintersounds.
You are probably also aware that we are on tour and have been traveling through the west coast and finally heading back to our home in the southeast. Needless to say, things have been quite crazy for some time. I hope you guys have confidence in our work ethic. We've been doing all this from the road while on tour but we love it and honestly, we want to earn it. We know we are shooting for a great life and despite our passion for playing music, we recognize the luxury of this pursuit and the complete and total joy that playing music for a living will be. We don't take it lightly and that's why we work so hard.
If you believe in this band, then lets work together on pushing this thing over the top.
So I wanted to share something with the backers... we came up with some really really cool ideas if we crossover the 8k goal. Its my hope that by sharing some of this with you, you guys might be like "whoa, hell yeah" and start promoting this thing even more. Maybe by personally messaging friends or family or posting online (facebook, twitter, etc) - if every backer just got one friend to donate we'd blow this thing apart. So here's what we want to do (in general)
First goal over the top would be a full page ad in a popular print magazine - like ReadyMade, Magnet, Fanzine, Popular Science... I don't know - I don't read but I'm sure people do... :) but the ad would actually be a pic from every one of the backers. If you've seen "L'été des trois Michel(l)es" album cover, then you'll know what I'm thinking. How cool would it be to have your picture in a magazine! And it would help us a bunch cause we'd also have an ad in a mag. Be happy to take suggestions for what magazine to shoot for too...
Another thing I want to desperately do at some point is pseudo-professionally record all the 'thank you songs' - all that we've done demos of - going back to and even including previous kickstarter, tire fundraisers, etc..., we want to do at least some higher up level or recording and release it online for free to our backers and maybe a couple bucks for everyone else
Another cool thing would be to get a live CD/DVD - not sooo over the top but within a smart budget. People always say we sound great live and we don't have anything like that yet.
Finally it would be totally awesome to press "Runner" to vinyl as well. I don't think we could do it for less than 2000 BUT if we started really moving this fundraiser, I'd be more than happy to press them and give them away to backers maybe over 50 or so if we could come close. We found a great deal on vinyl even though its more expensive than CDs, there's still enough of a profit that we could afford it and sell the rest at shows, etc...
So this comment was kind of long - I'm going to post it elsewhere as well but in the end I'm asking for your helping promoting kickstarter itself. So, if you can tell a friend, tell a bunch of friends, post online do whatever you feel might help and we'll see some huge changes and maybe we can make it through at least a couple of those EXTRAS :)
THANKS TO YOU ALL! Just in case you missed this, here's a song off the new record that was kind of posted around http://soundcloud.com/patsgonewild/sayeverything-mixmstr-rev1
ENJOY
Creator SpandexScientist on July 7, 2012

Creator Ashley Bellerue on July 5, 2012
I too check here every day to see how far we have to go. I did $5 today so I can get my postcard, but will donate more on Friday when I get paid. :) Love you guys so so so so much!!
Creator Ashley Lowder on July 1, 2012
I've kickstarted a few kickstarters in my day, but these are the best updates yet.
Creator Elizabeth Lemerande on June 28, 2012
I need you guys/girls to make it so I can get my Incubus cover song. I love y'all so much! Thinking of you often <3
Creator The Winter Sounds on June 28, 2012

Creator The Winter Sounds on June 18, 2012
Haha, Evin, incredible! You guys are so great :)
Creator Evin Hone on June 18, 2012
Hecks yeah! Just pushed this bad boy over $2000 with my $5... which incidentally makes me look cheap, but Riah really wanted that postcard in addition to the other and couldn't figure out how to click both pledges, so she can be the big spender and I'll invest in what I am sure is one mighty fine postcard :D
Creator The Winter Sounds on June 18, 2012
thanks so much guys! Really truly appreciate this :) Hope to make you happy w/ everything
Creator Riah Hone on June 17, 2012
