    District 97 New Album Kickstarter

    I posted this in the thread about our 10th Anniversary Tour,, but I thought it deserved its own. We've launched a Kickstarter campaign to make our 4th album at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...h-studio-album!

    We've got lots of awesome rewards and stretch goals, Of particular note is that if we hit $25,000 and 75 new Inside The Vault Club (http://www.district97.net/insidethevaultclub) members, all backers at $100 & above get a 5.1 surround sound/hi-res stereo disc of the new album! *This will be exclusive to the campaign and not available at any other time.*

    The 2018 IVC Keybholder-exclusive release will be filmed on at RoSfest this year. There are tons of bonuses for doing both the Kickstarter & IVC (Leslie's demo for Sony when she was 18, the Live At De Boerderij HD Download & more), so check the Kickstarter page for more details on all that. Please let me know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you in the coming weeks on tour (dates at http://www.district97.net/shows)!

    Check the video out for clips of 4 new songs.

    Yup, off to a great start! We're need to get up to 27k though (double the funding goal) to take the album on the road too and do a 5.1 mix. Here's the Prog Magazine story on the campaign and the 10th Anniversary Tour: https://www.loudersound.com/news/dis...-for-album-no4

    75% now. Or 75% to halfway if you wish. Still lots of time for others to sign up.

    Here's an idea what to expect from the new album. We're getting within reach of our initial goal of $13,500!

    Yes, so do we! We've got 2 weeks left to hit our final stretch goal of 27k so we can make it to Europe. At 25k we'll be able to do a surround mix which would also be really cool. Yesterday was Andrew's birthday as well so it's the perfect time to pitch in.

    A little taste of the exclusive live album for backers can be had from the first several minutes of this RoSfest video, though bear in mind the sound quality will be much better,



    We'll also be releasing a limited-edition DVD of that show, which can be reserved at http://www.district97.net/insidethevaultclub. There are many bonus rewards for folks who do both the IVC and the Kickstarter!

    We have 7 10th Anniversary shirts left (all XL, and printed by Sean!), and we're GIVING THEM AWAY to those who do the following:

    -Back the Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...h-studio-album at $50 or more.

    -Join the INSIDE THE VAULT CLUB at http://www.district97.net/insidethevaultclub at any level. The cost of a latte gets you exclusive music from us every month! The June 15th edition will feature an early live version of Snow Country with a section we later cut out, and as a special bonus we'll also give you this month's edition, our unreleased 2008 track Lost Cat. Keyholders (Premium Members) also get an exclusive physical release each year. 2018's will be the upcoming Return To Rosfest DVD, filmed this month.

    -Send an email to info@district97.net or message us on Kickstarter with your request for a shirt.

    These will not be reprinted, so this is your last chance to snag one of these fantastic shirts!

    We just have a week left on the Kickstarter, which is now over 17k! Due to a few contributions outside of the campaign, we are able to make a LIMITED-EDITION 5.1 SURROUND SOUND/HI-RES STEREO DISC AVAILABLE ONLY THROUGH 5/31. Here's how to get it:

    -Back the new album at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...h-studio-album at $100 or more.

    -Join our subscription series the INSIDE THE VAULT CLUB at http://www.district97.net/insidethevaultclub at any level.

    There's only a week to get this, so act quickly if you're interested!

    We've only got 2 more days left at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...h-studio-album. if everyone who sees this thread pledges $10, we'd easily hit our final stretch goal of 27k. That would be incredible, as it would allow us to tour the new album around North America (including West Coast) and Europe in 2019, which we'd really love to do! If you like our music, or are friends/family of someone in the band, we hope you'll consider pitching in. For $10, you'll get exclusive updates as we make the album, as well as a download of a live version of our new song Forest Fire (see video above). Every bit helps, and you can pitch in as little as $1!

    We've got less than 9 hours left at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...h-studio-album, and we're in the midst of a VERY strong finish. We're in sight of our final stretch goal of 27k, which will enable us to return to the UK/Europe next year. We hope some PE folks will help us make D97 history!

    Good question! We're at 20 new IVC signups during the campaign, so it's not a sure thing just yet. If you (or anyone reading this) has backed the Kickstarter but haven't looked into the INSIDE THE VAULT CLUB at http://www.district97.net/insidethevaultclub yet, I highly recommend doing so. Aside from the IVC being an essential part of the D97 experience, we're offering a TON OF BONUSES to those who do both (a 5.1 Surround Sound/Hi-Res Stereo disc, Leslie's Sony demo when she was 18, the Live At De Boerderij HD Download, and much more), A complete list of bonuses is at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...um/description. We're in the last 6 hours to get all of that. That's A LOT of value for the less than $5/month it takes to join, so check it out!

    In the little over a week since the Kickstarter ended, we've received several requests from people who still want to be a part of our new album but missed the campaign. We know you're all busy and maybe some of you didn't get a chance to pledge, so we are allowing last-minute pledges through this Friday, June 15th. Simply take a look at the reward options, find the one you like, and then send the funds HERE. This is the ABSOLUTE LAST CHANCE to get things like your name in the liner notes, the limited-edition live album of the new music, and more.

    We're also open to considering any offers on items that didn't get pledged for during the Kickstarter (handwritten lyrics, duct tape bra, drum set). Keep in mind if you're outside the US to include $10 for shipping for the $25/50/75 rewards, and $14 for those at $100 & up.

    If you've already pledged to the Kickstarter but haven't joined the INSIDE THE VAULT CLUB yet, you also have through 6/15 to take advantage of the additional rewards (click the link and scroll down to see them all) we're offering for joining (a 5.1 Surround Sound/Hi-Res Stereo disc, Leslie's Sony demo when she was 18, the Live At De Boerderij HD Download, and much more).

    And speaking of the IVC, I wanted to share some raw footage from RoSfest in order to give you a small idea what the Return To RoSfest DVD/HD download will be like. Bear in mind this is just one camera angle and the audio is from the camera, so the final product will be much grander in scope.



    In order to reserve a copy of this upcoming limited-edition release, join the INSIDE THE VAULT CLUB as a Keyholder (Premium Member). Less than 75 remain!
