Reggie and the Full Effect Begin Recording New Album

May 28th, 2013 Nina Corcoran

A little over two months ago, Reggie and the Full Effect created a Kickstarter to fund their new album, No Country For Old Musicians. Today, frontman James Dewees announced that the recording process has officially begun via an update to Kickstarter backers.

“It feels so amazing to be back doing reggie again,” wrote Dewees. “I hope you are ready for the insanity that is about to begin! I know I am!”

No Country For Old Musicians successfully passed its goal of $50,000 a week before the campaign was scheduled to end (and with an extra $8,081 to spare).…

Eisley Come Close, But Don’t Make Kickstarter Goal

May 20th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Eisley failed to make their Kickstarter goal. Looks like they won’t be touring the way they wanted to.

With Currents, their new album due out next week, Eisley set up a Kickstarter to help them raise the funds they needed to tour more comfortably with four new additions; their kids. So instead of packing everyone in a van, they were aiming for a bus. While handwritten lyrics and past demos seemed like a good idea when they set up the pledge levels, they didn’t meet their goal. While 1 of 10 art guitars weren’t enough to get anyone interested, …

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 …
