Melissa Joan Hart Fails at a Kickstarter Campaign

May 15th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Melissa Joan Hart set up a Kickstarter in hopes of funding a movie, and well, it looks like she’ll be stuck on the small screen forever. Her goal of $2 million fell so short that she canceled the project.

In the light of the Veronica Mars movie’s Kickstarter raising eyebrows when it went above and beyond in mere hours, other actors thought they’d give the crowd funding site a go. Zach Braff started one to get a Garden State sequel funding. He got a lot of flack for it since he still has Scrubs money, people hated on the idea …

May 6th, 2013 Leanne Cushing

Brooklyn-based chiptune band, Anamanaguchi, started a Kickstarter on May 3 to assist in the release of their upcoming album, Endless Fantasy. After eleven hours, the band surpassed their $50,000 goal and it’s still climbing.

The band decided to release the album on their own label, dream.hax, and asked fans to donate to their Kickstarter to “make Endless Fantasy more than just an album”. Amidst the refreshing, asterisk-decorated explanation for their Kickstarter, the band appeals to fans by promising special VIP spots for their upcoming tour, “school of chiptune” lessons with the band, and their newest album in …

Zach Braff Launches Kickstarter For ‘Garden State’ Follow-Up ‘Wish I Was Here’

April 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Filmmaker and former Scrubs star Zach Braff has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the making of his latest film, Wish I Was Here.

Nearly a decade has passed since Garden State was released, but a glance at the movie and music collection of anyone from 15-30 would prove the film’s impact still lingers in pop culture today. The story of a man trying to find himself falling in love with an equally lost woman and the search to find the calm between their two emotional storms connected with audiences worldwide. Braff continued working in films after that, but …

SERIOUSLY: Metro Station Seek $50,000 To Relaunch Band

March 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Do you remember Metro Station? You may think you don’t, but it’s far more likely you did your best to block all memory of their simplistic and repetitive hit “Shake It,” which eventually worked and more than likely erased the very notion that they were even a band. But make no mistake, the plague on pop music that was Metro Station did indeed exist, and if there are a few thousand suckers out there (and we all know there are), they may soon return to the music scene.

Recently, the remaining members of Metro Station (IE Musso and some new …

Reggie And The Full Effect Is Back In Action With Kickstarter Help

March 18th, 2013 Brian Lion

It’s been an unbearable five years since Reggie And The Full Effect’s Last Stop: Crappy Town and unfortunate farewell tour. We all thought it was the end of a great project and ridiculously fun live shows. Alas, we’re so pleased to find out that James Dewees (Coalesce, The Get Up Kids) has revived his electronica/rock enterprise and will be releasing a new album entitled No Country For Old Musicians (an obvious play-on of the Best Picture winning Coen Brothers film of 2007), around October of this year, as long as all goes according to plan with his Kickstarter campaign. …

The Kickstarter has been created by series creator Rob Thomas after receiving the suggestions from musician Robert Harrison, vocalist of the band Cotton Mather.

Kristen Bell is on board to move forward if the funds come through, stating her excitement with one of the best metaphors we’ve ever heard: “I am currently the happiest blonde in a hamster ball the world has ever seen. We have been waiting so long to make this movie dream a movie …
