Tuesday, November 22 :: Exit Clov <3’s Our Kickstarter Backers

Phew! Barely a week into our fundraiser, and it’s been a really fun whirlwind of gratefulness and happiness that people are so willing to help us finish this album!

We’ve posted our first update on our Kickstarter main page: Update #1: 5 Truly Thankful Clov Turkeys.

For those who haven’t been following our daily postings on Facebook and Twitter, we reached our target goal of $3,000 in a matter of 5 days! This means the project is guaranteed to be funded now, yay. But of course, we didn’t want to just twiddle our thumbs while the last 30 days of the campaign passed us by… instead we’re going to step up the challenge and double our goal to $6,000. This way we will able to press CD’s of the new album and also shoot a music video for a song that our special Kickstarter backers will get to vote on!!

Tuesday, Nov. 15 :: Exit Clov Kickstarter!!!

Hello, hello!

So it’s finally live……. our Kickstarter fundraising video!!! Check out our 5min homemade video clip, where we make our case for why you should spare a percentage of your holiday shopping budget this year to Exit Clov. We promise not to squander it away! Every penny will go into the making of our new record. And, in fact, you’ll be getting something back for your money.

If you’re not familiar with Kickstarter, it’s an innovative website designed to help artists fund their creative art projects … in our case, a new full-length record. Each donation amount corresponds with a wonderfully handsome “reward” that you will receive from the band, as a token of our infinite gratitude (see the righthand column for our rewards list).

It’s simple and fun! Here’s how it works:

1. Watch our video!
2. If you like what you see(!), decide how much you’d like to donate.
3. Enter your credit card info when prompted. The amount will be pending on your credit card until the END of the 35 days of fundraising (Dec. 20). At that point:

– If we’ve reached our goal of $3,000 in donations, your credit card will be charged the amount you pledged to donate.
– If we don’t reach our goal :(*** , our fundraising opportunity is over, and we go back home with our tails between our legs.

<3,
aaron, brett, emily, john & susan
