thisisahiijack Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 http://kck.st/pcetCC "The Dead Girls' newest "hit song" that will never be heard on the radio (ha!) is called "She Laughed a Little," and it has become a staple of the bands' live shows. Since we put out the full-length "Out of Earshot" LP in 2010, Rocket Heart Records been itching to do a 7-inch with the band. When they went into Art House Studios to record "She Laughed a Little," we knew we had the perfect single. It's full of the upbeat, hooky rock that The Dead Girls are known for, and is guaranteed to get stuck in your head all day. The B-side, "It's All Happening," is a treat as well. It's a one-off song written and recorded in four hours when Motion City Soundtrack singer/guitarist Justin Pierre came into town for a day. The Dead Girls then called up former Blackpool Lights/Creature Comforts/Ultimate Fakebook multi-instrumentalist J.D. Warnock to create a three-vocal/four guitar/six-man wall of sound. The epic super-catchy thumper of a song has since been remixed and remastered exclusively for this release. Simply put, it rocks. We're throwing in two really cool never-before-released demo versions of Dead Girls songs as extra bonuses for different premium levels on mp3, "Standby" and "Watchful Eye." Keen ears might recognize parts that were reworked into "Out of Earshot" tunes. Posters, featuring badass artwork by Megan Borque, are autographed by all six players and are also available as premiums. We're really excited about this super-limited run. All funds go right into the pressing, since we are a small vinyl-only label and we only put out records we believe in. Lend us a hand and help us release two of the coolest songs we've heard in a long time with some crazy awesome packaging. Viva la vinyl!!!" pledges range from $2 to $50 and include anything from mp3s to test presses and autographed posters. support one of the hardest working bands in the state of kansas.

shat Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 so Justin Pierre appears just on that one song but is not actually in the band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisahiijack Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 correct. the dead girls are from lawrence, ks, and are comprised of 2/3 of ultimate fakebook, who are band buddies with justin and the rest of mcs. the song was recorded over 18 months ago, and they finally decided to use it for something. i have an mp3 of the original recording, it's a pretty catchy song.

youmightbewrong Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Someone backed out of the $50 or more pledge. If anyone is interested it's up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Looks like this is a go. It's at $2,055. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisahiijack Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 i regrettably had to back out of a $50 pkg as well, in order to make rent. hoping to make up for it here soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I got this in the mail today (the $50 pledge package). The black Out of Earshot lp wasn't in the package. Anyone else receive this without the lp? (it looks like my bad luck streak continues on ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisisahiijack Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 just get in touch with the label, i'm sure they'll fix it without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
