Reasons For My In-Activity

Hey everyone,
Sorry about not updating the page in oh so long. I’ve had huge technology failures the past few months (Computer still isn’t back, iPod broke two weeks ago, etc..). So I’ll be presenting something hopefully next week.

Please keep in touch!

Vinyl Update/Another Bag Of Bones EP

I received a bunch of emails from fans as well as the label. Here’s what Kevin and Academy Fight Song had to say.

8/20/08
1:09am Brooklyn Time

The ‘Another Bag of Bones’ b/w ‘Love Me, I’m A Liberal’ 7″ was set to come out today, August 19th. Thank you if you pre-ordered the vinyl or intended to purchase it on the upcoming MATT PRYOR dates.

Unfortunately, there have been some problems. Please DO NOT PURCHASE THE TRACKS DIGITALLY FROM AMAZON. COM. They are mispriced at $8.99 for the two-song EP due to miscommunication between Amazon and Academy Fight Song Records; the price will be fixed to something far more standard and reasonable, and the EP will be added to other digital music retailers, like iTUNES, and when those things happen, an easy link will be offered right here on the website. PLEASE, refrain from picking it up until then, because while I think Schnapf did a killer job and I believe in the songs, they’re not worth $4.50 per mp3.

As for the physical vinyl, delivery on those will be delayed as well due to a mishap at the pressing plant – when it rains it pours. Those of you who pre-ordered should receive the 7″ by mid-September, and I definitely apologize for the delay and inconvenience. For a more detailed note from the label, please continue reading – thank you for your patience and support, as always.

“Friends,

As you may have gathered from our website over the past couple of weeks, the production delay on Kevin Devine’s “Another Bag Of Bones” 7″ has led to our inability to send out the 7″s by today’s release date: August 19, 2008. To be more specific, when we received the first batch of test pressings in the mail, we were not fully satisfied with the sound quality of the original lacquer cut. Having the lacquers re-cut, re-plated, and the new test pressings pressed and shipped to us was a process that took over two weeks to complete and set us back accordingly.

Needless to say, we are extremely pleased with how the new test pressings sound, and the vinyl is currently being pressed at a California-based pressing plant. As soon as we receive the finals, assembly and packaging will be finished as quickly as possible [overnight if need be], and each and every package will be shipped out by September 3, at the latest. As soon as your order ships, you will receive a shipment confirmation e-mail that includes the shipment date and a recap of your order.

Thank you for your incredible support for both Academy Fight Song and Kevin Devine, and for your patience with this release as we try and make it the best quality possible

Take care,
RJ

After all this, I sent R.J an email about possibly sending out free tracks to the vinyl buyers. Here’s his reply.

Hey Kyle,

Let me see what I can arrange. The price on Amazon is incorrect, and is in the process of being changed. Also, the tracks should be up for download on iTunes and eMusic in the coming week.

Take care,
RJ

So for the people on Live Journal who are too cheap to buy/wait for the iTunes download. Please don’t download “Love Me, I’m A Liberal”.

Kevin Devine News…

Hey Everyone

I hope people have been paying attention with what Kevin is doing now. Today, he released the “Another Bag Of Bones 7″/Digital EP”. I will not be providing a digital download to this due to it being able to be purchased through Amazon or Academy Fight Song. If you buy the vinyl, you can choose between the Red or Blue colors. Or even both for $12.50. I know the price on Amazon is a bit high, but it is truly worth it. Both the titled track and the cover song are what each fan should have in their collection.

Kevin also recently announced he is recording his full length as well as a new tour! With former Get-Up Kid Matt Pryor. Tour dates are below. I’ll be at the Rhode Island date hopefully due to me having tickets for the New York Mets game on September 5. I highly suggest checking out Matt’s new record “Confidence Man”. It’s a really neat thing.

Tour Dates:

Aug 22 – Dallas, TX @ House of Blues – Dallas
Aug 23 – Austin, TX @ Stubb’s Jr.
Aug 24 – Houston, TX @ Warehouse Studio
Aug 25 – Baton Rouge, LA @ Spanish Moon

Sorry about lack of content lately..

Hey everyone

Bad news. My computer obtained a virus. I’m now operating from my laptop which has no music on it. During this process, I’ve been un-able to post live sets and demos. All my Kevin Devine live sets (including some unreleased one’s on here) are now erased.

If anyone can help, send me some emails with recent live sets. I’ll be back in a week.
