There are just a few days left in our Kickstarter campaign. We’ve passed our initial goal, and will have funds to cover promotional and advertising expenses. Any additional funds raised from this point on will go towards making more CD’s. It looks like we’ll go through the first thousand pretty quickly, but it’ll cost $1500 or so to make another thousand discs.
There are lots of great bonus items available at different donation levels. Any size donation helps though. Help us spread the word about surf music!
