Update #7: 100% and still moving!!!!
At approximately 11:16AM yesterday morning, we stuffed this fox in its hole and broke our campaign goal of 10K~~~!!!!! The pledges, which we can now honorably call contributions, are still coming in and we continue to be amazed at the collective generosity we are gratefully surrounded by...especially in these tough times.
We want to extend our wholehearted thank yous to ALL of you who have taken interest in this record and continue to support us in this endeavor!!!!
Another reminder that it'll take Kickstarter/Amazon approx 14 days from the end of the campaign (Feb 27th) before you see any charges. For those of you in the $25 donation tier and above, we'll be reaching out to you individually in order to get shipping addresses and t-shirt sizes soon! Thank you again for your unbelievable support. Can't wait to get this record out into the wild!
Talk soon... Mikey, Brad, Eric and Danny

Update #5: 74% and counting!
This is really amazing! Just over a week and we're about to break the big 75%!!!!! Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. We're really getting excited about this release and have some big ideas brewing. We're also working on some new video updates so check back with us soon and often.

Oh, Mikey and his plastic frog sends hellos!
Update #4: Unbelievable.
Hello all! Super kudos to all our friends and supporters who have already contributed to our cause... I can't believe in less than three days we're at the 40% mark. Way to go everybody!!! Just thought I'd post a quick montage from our studio sessions at Love Park with Dan Dixon at the helm. Here we're working on the opening track to our record called "Steep Roof" while our good friend and lawyer washes his sweet ride out front with one killer wash mitt. Also see studio footage of Loves Park's noisy air conditioning unit during vocal takes of "Camera Gun Shy" here.
We'll be posting exclusive access to early versions of some of these songs here for backers only, so stay tuned!!!

This Atlanta, GA quartet deliver a perfect amalgam of rock hedonism and cunning arrangements, resulting in a memorable and compelling collection of confident rock songs which blur the line between the indie and pop rock worlds with its plaintive, yet bold vocals and infectious guitar interplay.
"With its twin guitar attack, [Trances Arc] recalls the glory days of indie-rock then slips into a slithery T. Rex groove."
-- Brian Mansfield, USA TODAY
"Without sounding the least bit studied, Trances Arc upholds early '90s alternative rumble as the new classic rock. Nearly every track comes as catchy and compelling as the one before, and the straightforward production suggests that the fivesome won’t falter when these rugged tunes hit the road."
-- Barry Walters, eMusic
This quintet out of Hotlanta seems to have absorbed most of the cool guitar work from the 60's to the 90's with none of the lame stuff, which adds up to a rocking, tuneful, toneful batch of songs... This album is heavy on vibe, heavy on melody, and heavy on tone - a recipe for disaster if there ever was one. Nicely done.
--Matt Blackett, Guitar Player Magazine
"The music of Trances Arc is familiar and therein lies their charm. It's instantly memorable, marked by tight musicianship, larger-than-life hooks and Eric Toledo's stellar vocals."
- Jonathan Sanders, News Editor at Stereo Subversion
