Hey, friends! Just a reminder that our Kickstarter surveys lock today! What that means is you can't make any additional add-ons or selections for your Kickstarter package after tonight as we'll charge cards tomorrow and then start separating merch for shipment.
If something happens in the next week or so and your physical address changes, you can still adjust your address until July 1. After that, things will begin to ship, hurrah!
If you haven’t answered your survey yet, if you fill out your BackerKit survey or pay for extra shipping after tonight, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://thepdxbroadsides.backerkit.com.
Thank you all again for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for us when trying to keep track of all 335 of you!
Thanks everyone for your support! We love you!
Opportunities to see us live coming up:
The East Coast tour is starting to shape up, and we're just waiting on two more places to confirm before we announce the whole lineup! Tickets for Boston on 10/12 (with Sarah Donner) are already on sale, though, so you may want to hop on that.
There's also a special announcement for backers only tomorrow, so watch this space.
Preorders are open now for folks who didn't get in on the Kickstarter: here at BackerKit or Bandcamp. We also released a new single last week in honor of Pride Month, "Take a Look Inside," available on iTunes/Amazon/Bandcamp/Spotify/literallyeverywhere.
Hope to see you all very soon! <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much for answering your surveys! We're up to 75% completed, which really helps us with inventory planning. Remember, you can make changes to your order until JUNE 24TH. Orders lock that day, and cards will be charged shortly thereafter for any add-ons you may have selected.
-----------------------------------------
We're celebrating your awesomeness and Pride Month with a whole awesome Geek Pride Playlist on Spotify with music from some of our favorite nerds like The Doubleclicks, Misbehavin' Maidens, Shubzilla, Sarah Donner, and more (some explicit songs, but it's a whole lot of fun!) that contains our new single out today on Bandcamp, iTunes, and Spotify (with Amazon, Google, Tidal, and more coming in the next few days)! It's a brand-new song called "Take A Look Inside." We wrote it as a commission for our friend Jill Webb, a fantastic author of supernatural sci-fi, inspired by her upcoming series AfterQuest. It's full of curiosity and celebration despite fear, and a willingness to discover who you really are.
You'll also notice it's a super different sound for us: soaring synth, a billion layering vocals, it was a real treat to do something so new and "let go of the past/be willing to try." :D
Chorus:
Take a look inside
There's more than you know
There's fathoms below
Take a look inside
The waters are deep
And sometimes we keep it hidden so
Face what tries to hide
Take a look inside
You can find the single right now on:
You can also hear the studio version of "Buffalo" from our new album for the first time on the FuMP! The FuMP is short for "The Funny Music Project" and has hosted some great comedy music talent over the years, it's an honor to join the list. Get a first listen to what this amazing album sounds like and give the FuMP some love for having us on for the first time. We also recorded a podcast with Devo Spice and Luke Ski for The FuMPcast which you can check out here: we're early on in the show talking about the song. (Podcast contains swears.)
--------------------------------------------------
Did you get this far? YOU'RE A CHAMP. Let's not mince words.
Backers will receive their album a few days before that (because we love you), and we'll have special instructions as we are attempting, for the first time, to get on the Billboard charts. SAY WHAT.
So watch those emails. :D
We'll be celebrating with an online concert on 7/2, get the details here! Song requests are live!
So now that you've read this whole thing, tell us what you think of the new song in the comments, and don't forget to RSVP to the online release party!

Hello, friends! Just a quick note to say the surveys have all been released by BackerKit into the series of tubes known as the internet and should have found their way to you by now! So far, 43% of backers have already answered their surveys! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Quantities are limited on a few add-on items, and they're first come, first served. (If you already backed for them, you're locked in, don't panic!) Surveys will be locked on June 24th, so please answer as soon as possible anyway!
Confused about how this works? I wrote about it on Monday, get the details here! It's pretty straightforward, just follow the prompts for what you backed, add anything extra you want, and you're done.
If your survey hasn't shown up yet, check your email filters. If you still don't see it, please contact us at https://pdxbroadsides.backerkit.com/faq and we'll resend it to you. (Check the email associated with your Kickstarter account, as that's where everything is set to go! Need it somewhere else? Contact us.)
Oh, and if you have friends who didn't get in on the Kickstarter but still want them album or other goodies? Our Preorder Store is open NOW! Please spread the word.
Thanks again so much for your support!
Many <3s,

Hello, amazing backers! Here is some very important information about SURVEYS so you can get your wonderful rewards!
THIS WEEK, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like.
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
iIf you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at Di.

We did. Your regular pledge items will populate with your amount, no need to add them, BackerKit knows, but you if you needed another pin for your BFF or the other art print so you have a matching set, we got you covered.
What's in store: extra goodies for you from this campaign plus some things from the PDX Broadsides vaults like the Bat'leth t-shirts, We Want Rey stickers, and more! And for those of you who are superfans of the enamel pins, we're running special multi-set discounts as add-ons. Take a look at the screenshot test survey for a peek at those deals!
