Update #5: Remember the camera adds 10 lbs

Posted on December 31, 2009

Check out the new video explaining the situation.
Thanks!

Update #4: Well, we're slowing getting there

Posted on December 16, 2009

It's been a couple of weeks since an update so I thought I'd post a quick one before our show this weekend in San Antonio.

We'll be pumping the campaign at the show and hopefully we'll have a plea via video on by next week.

Thanks much to our new backers Tim and Jaime! We love you for your committment and for believing in us.

I hope that we can push this into overdrive over the next couple of weeks and deliver on those returns!

We'll have some exciting news with regard to the UK next week also so please check back.
Much Love,
Steve

Update #3: Week 3 update: On the road to "Discovery Gravity"

Posted on November 14, 2009

Well it's 20 days in and we've already broken the 1K mark!

With Mike Tucker's $500 bid and backing by Chris Collins, & Mindi and Dan Meeks we are gaining momentum toward our goal. Big thanks to y'all for getting us ever closer to a successful record. Mike, you've got an iPod, and a bunch of other stuff coming and we're looking forward to having youon the stage with us!

This week I've spoken to the company we're planning to use for CD Design, photography and webdesign. They're a family business from Austin, TX called Pixel Peach Studios and their creativity is incredible. You can check out their stuff at www.pixelpeach.com. I think you'll be as impressed as we are.

We've applied to SXSW again this year and we're waiting to hear if we are picked up. Regardless, I'll be there networking so if you're in Austin in March, shoot me an email.

Anyway, that's just a quick update on our progress. We hope you'll spread the word to your friends and fellow music lovers. We have 70 days left but you know how time flies.

Rock on,
Steve Wilson

Update #2: Getting there!

Posted on November 7, 2009

Well we're a little farther into it and we've got a few new supporters. Big thanks to Leanne, and Joe for their support!

In case you hadn't noticed, we've changed the title of the album. After beginning a short story, the title just fell on me. It kind of symbolizes all the ups and downs we've faced both as a band and as human beings. Since all the songs I write seem to end up being personal, it just seemed more fitting.

Some good news: We've just signed an agreement with a UK company called Our Tribes digital which should definitely help in spreading our worldwide footprint. We hope this will bring in foreign investors and continue the ball rolling toward our goal.

As soon as we figure out how we're going to edit the video, we'll post it on here.

Anyway, we hope you'll spread the word and we won't stop pushing until we've reached our goal.

Rock on,
Steve

Update #1: One week down, 1 Backer

Posted on November 2, 2009

We're one week into the funding and wish to thank our good friend John "Doc" Ard for taking the first bite! We appreciate ya Doc!

We hope to have a video up soon so stay tuned.
In the meantime, we ask you to reach down and search your pockets for at least $5....think of it this way, you'll be getting the record at half retail price if you "Pre-order" it for $5!

We'll be back soon!
