    BTW, does the guitarist ever smile or laugh?
    Thanks! Haha, yeah he does, just was kinda having a rough day when we shot that video

    Already 61% of goal and it's not even Midnight yet...pretty good for the first day!

    I think some people want a new D97 album.

    Yes, it's pretty unreal! The signed John Wetton CDs are going fast (only 14 left), so anyone who wants one should probably act quickly. They're currently available at all pledges over $100...https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album

    The first show of our Kickstarter Launch Tour is tonight at Double Door in Chicago! Chinese Professionals start 8:30, D97 follows at 9:30.

    In other news, the Kickstarter is getting ever so close to 10K (see https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album). Hopefully we can get over that hump and to 12K soon so we can start working on the record ASAP. Also lots of cool stuff we can do if we exceed the goal, like hire outside musicians, record extra music, more elaborate overdubbing etc. A big thanks to all who've chipped in so far!

    Just checked the tally and you have less than $1,000 to go. Looks like you made it.

    Well, lets not speak too soon, we still need $700 before we can get to work on this thing. But yes, the response has been absolutely phenomenal and inspiring. A huge thank you to everyone who has participated thus far. We're so glad you'll be a part of making this record with us, and we hope more will come aboard for the journey!

    Also, as a FYI, there are only 6 signed copies of "One More Red NIght" signed by John Wetton remaining for the $100+ levels. If you'd like one, you should probably pledge soon: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album

    Thanks! Yeah, we're stunned. Some of you might be thinking that you missed your chance to be a part of making our new album, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Additional funds would allow us to do a myriad of things (hire outside musicians, go on tour etc.) we won't be able to do with just the 12K. I go into detail on all of that here on the Kickstarter Blog: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...m/posts/970827

    Oh, and John Wetton has kindly agreed to sign more copies of One More Red NIght, so we've got 50 more of those in the campaign than we had initially. You can check that and everything else out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album

    Thanks to all those who have been a part of this, and we hope more will come aboard!

    Congrats on reaching the goal! And since I wanted to do my part, I just added another 25 to the total. A great band like yours that is as fan friendly and down to earth is easy to help out.

    A "making of" DVD would be very nice you guys. That is if you filmed your rehearsals. But,if not could you turn your streaming concert from the other night into a bonus dvd with the cd?

    For the second half of the campaign, we've got some new/altered rewards at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album. One of the really cool ones is the "Complete District 97 Collection" at the $150 level, which contains our complete discography. Read all about them in the Kickstarter blog at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...m/posts/982920

    Giving this a bump as the Kickstarter ends a week from today. Our fantasy goal was 20K, and we've got a good shot at reaching that if we finish strong! We're at close to 17K right now, so a huge thank you to everyone who's contributed. Although we exceeded our goal of 12K, additional funds allow us much more freedom in the studio and are a tremendous help to the myriad expenses associated with releasing/recording an album. Additionally, the more we raise, the better the chances we can fund a potential tour around release time.

    We only have 11 more signed copies of District 97 Featuring John Wetton-One More Red NIght available, and 3 days left of the campaign. If you're a D97 and Crimson fan, this is a pretty cool Kickstarter exclusive. We're currently at $17,415, and against my better judgement, I have vowed to release a video of me singing karaoke to 'Born to be Wild" if we hit 18k . So, that's another reason, besides the awesome rewards, to pitch in if you haven't yet...

    We're just over 24 hours to go, and here's the Kickstarter update about the end of the campaign (which also includes a video of my rip-roaring performance of 'Born To Be WIld"): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../posts/1001867

    Here's Leslie's PSA about the end of the campaign, complete with a ridiculous dance. Please take a visit here (and tell your friends) before the end of tomorrow if you'd like to be a part of this incredible journey we're on with our fans! Oh, and it's also my birthday on the 30th; if you were wondering what to get me, a pledge at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album would definitely suffice

We have 5 more copires of "One More Red Night' signed ny John Wetton and D97 available, and those will not be offered after the campaign concludes (nor will a lot of this stuff). https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...d-studio-album is the site to be at for the next 5 hours
