We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 13, 2010.

Thank You! Record Release Party! Car Washes! :)

Update #34 · Mar 30, 2011 · comment

First of all, thank you again to each and every one of you Kickstarters for making this happen.  You are all thanked publicly on our web site here: http://stillspark.com/thanks

We are happy to update that page however you like, to link to your web site, twitter page, facebook page, or even your eharmony account - whatever you want - just let us know and we'll do it for you (within reason, people - please!)

Secondly, TOMORROW NIGHT is our Record Release Party. http://bit.ly/SSrrPARTY is an epic promotional video given to us by the video fairy two nights ago.  If you were at the listening party or want to catch a glimpse of the zaniness of that night, watch this video. Tomorrow night's Record Release Party invitation is here. Come on down if you're in LA.  Pass it along to your friends.

Finally! We have CD's. We autographed them for those of you who selected that pledge reward.  Some of you have received them in person.  Others will be receiving them by mail or in person over the coming week.  FOUNDER level (and regular) T-Shirts are being printed today.  They'll be at the party tomorrow night and in the mail to you if you can't make it to the party.

Spring is here. It is time to get your car washed by Still Spark, or a coffee, juice, or cocktail, or whatever other zany reward we promised you.  We're making good on it all by summer (and probably videotaping you too, so primp yourself in preparation).  See you soon!

Still Spark Record Release Day!

Update #33 · Mar 8, 2011 · comment

Hello to our loyal KickStarter Backers!

We did it!  The record is out today!

Earlier today we sent out free download coupon codes for anyone eligible.  We'll be sending out single song download coupon codes for the rest of you shortly.  We are still pressing the physical CDs so those will be autographed and shipped out as soon as we get them in our hands, probably a week from now.

Below is the blog / email we are sending out to the rest of the world.

Thanks again for your awesome support.

Seth and Dan, Still Spark

A. Still Spark record release today!

************************************

With today's release of the long-anticipated self titled Still Spark record, you are probably bursting out of your skin and asking yourself, "YEAH!!! Why don't I GO FOR IT and buy The Whole Enchilada?" (CD, downloads, T-Shirt).  We can't answer that, but we can tell you why you SHOULD go for The Whole Enchilada!

If you're asking, "But why should I buy a Still Spark T-Shirt?"

  1. Without it, your bare skin will be exposed to the elements! Well, unless you have another t-shirt to wear instead.

   2. The logo kicks some serious ass.  I mean, we haven't seen a logo like this since Def Leppard or Star Wars.  Seriously.

   3. Black is slimming.

And if you're wondering, "Why should I buy a Still Spark CD instead of the download?"

   1. It's tangible. You can hold it in your hands and read the lyrics while you listen. Or hey, you could even read the lyrics while you watch Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune.

   2. The photography of John Royal Minor (unrelated to the Royal Tenenbaums as far as we know), shot on location at the legendary Dresden Room.  It's like having your own professional coffee table photo-book, except there's a CD in it.

   3. The price is right.  It's 10 bucks for the *actual* CD AND the digital downloads on bandcamp as opposed to one penny less for only the digital record on iTunes.  And you get even better pricing with the T-Shirt (The Whole Enchilada, remember?)

Success

Update #30 · Feb 3, 2011 · comment

The Monday night Los Angeles listening party was an incredible success! The turnout was great, the acoustic performances were super, and the record went over really well with some good friends with high standards and discerning taste (you know who you are).

Mastering and artwork will be completed next week and then it's time to press the record. Stay tuned for exciting plans ... and of course your copies of the record, youtube toasts, t-shirts, car washes, juices, and all that!
