dreamover Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 well, merchnow says the LP (first pressing) is limited to 1500, 1000 of which are available in the bundle. i highly doubt they'll sell 1000 bundles, but it makes me wonder if they'll be available elsewhere.

parkinglot Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 looks like the kickstarter failed yesterday. thank god. i've never listened to this band, and never plan to after seeing a kickstarter asking for fans to give them $100,000, so they can tour. Get a fucking job work your ass off for 10 months and then tour for 2 months like every other band in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm waiting on Amazon. That's how I got The Valley for $17ppd. Amazon has it up for $21.97 I wonder if the price will drop.. http://www.amazon.com/Currents-Eisley/dp/B00CQ56V9Q/ref=tmm_vnl_title_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyfoz Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Glad that people realized giving a band 100 Grand so they can go on tour and make more money, wasn't a good idea. And like I said before too, I am a fan of Eisley. brianmorgante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I like this band but I'm losing interest quickly after that Kickstarter. Who are the kidding with that crap? It's not like they're playing free shows at churches (even if they are a bunch of religious cult goofs) and homeless shelters. They're playing huge shows in every city. They're getting paid plenty and they're selling a lot of merch on a daily basis. How did they tour BEFORE Kickstarter? Well, looks like it'll be the same way this time around. Idiots.

stl_ben Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Um, they didn't have new born children. Thats what this is for, they all just had babies. Not too many bands tour with infants... How did they tour BEFORE Kickstarter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, maybe they should be staying at home with their newborn babies instead of touring. Maybe they shouldn't have all gotten pregnant at the same time like a bunch of cult weirdos. Then the grandparents could watch one kid for 2 months instead of 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. ill never get over how much of a joke/scam this kickstarter was. if you want to be a full time touring band dont have a bunch of kids then, according to you, ask for $100,000 to cover baby costs. get a fucking job that can pay for you to tour, or don't tour. /thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy. Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Was the Kickstarter for the tour they're going on with Say Anything or a separate in afterwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 The Kickstarter failed, so it's a moot point. I thought it was for the Say Anything tour, but whatever. It's idiotic either way and I'm glad there was only $60,000 worth of idiots out there willing to fund it. Frankly I'm surprised they didn't put up the other 40K themselves. I am going to go out of my way to download this record instead of buying it. $18 single disc LP plus $8 shipping should be illegal. Especially when asking for $100K besides that.

I was thinking about buying it on tour if they have it by then, but I really don't want to support their arrogance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Was the Kickstarter for the tour they're going on with Say Anything or a separate in afterwards? Separate - basically to tour overseas and whatnot - the say anything tour was already taken care of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy. Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 They released a statement about the whole Kickstarter. Maybe I'm just salty at the fact that they did the Kickstarter and asked for $100k but after reading the statement, I'm pissed. What really gets me is one of the last paragraphs. Just from reading it alone, to me it seemed like the option of asking family and the label for money was always on the table. As to why they didn't just got with that to begin with, I don't know. On that note, this tour is happening. We’re excited about it and hope you guys are too. Just to be transparent, to insure it could happen we ended up having to borrow $ from family for a good chunk of it and our label is lending us money against future royalties for the rest. Both are painful. That’s the reality of Eisley doing support tours. Headlining tours are a little easier financially but in any case, our nursing babies are too little to leave at home and it would be insanely wrong and dangerous to try to tour with 3 or 4 tiny babies in a van. We have to be in a bigger, safer, vehicle which costs between 15 - 20k (before fuel, driver, etc.). Also, I'd like to add this here because I feel like it sums up the whole argument into one nicely written response And just to weigh in again, politely, I think most people understand that touring is how bands make money. What Eisley is asking is to be paid up front to go on tour and then be paid again via ticket sales/merch sales/tips, etc. Although I believe one of the rewards for donating to the kickstarter was a ticket to a show of their choice and/or some merch, the donations certainly would not comprise of all the tickets needed to be sold, so any additional ticket sales from non-kickstarter-participants would have been essentially “free money” for something they have already been paid to do.

afireinside7444 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Lets be honest anyone with a kid(S) They should not be on tour at ALL. In a van, in a bus, on a train, in a plane no I dont see a baby on tour today. I mean fuck kid gets sick or a fever on tour while mom is on stage and they would need to get the kid to a hospital in a strange town this sounds like a huge cluster fuck of a idea. I say they need a few years off but they are too pig headed to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
