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!!
