This coming Friday ( Dec. 5th), we’re going to do a full album listening party on Bandcamp at 1 pm CST. We’re not sure that we can drop the final song live in the stream like we thought, so it will likely be up a couple to a few hours earlier than the listening event. You can either listen early, or wait for the Bandcamp listening thing… whichever’s funnier. This is really just a chance for everyone to listen together through the full album as it’s intended… in one go with no interruptions or breaks. With that, we’ll be trying to hang with the chat flood as much as possible. To participate, we’re relatively sure you just have to have pre-ordered the album and click on the link above… or here. Also, keep an eye out for a Bandcamp email closer to Friday that should clear up any confusion about it.

And in case you somehow missed all the emails, news page posts, and social posts prior to this and are wondering what this is all about, Act III: This City Made Us is now in the CD and Digital pre-order phase on Bandcamp and we’re releasing one to two songs a week (every Monday or Tuesday… ok… only one Monday…) until they’re all out in the world (with an official album release date of January 9th). We’ve reached the end of the road here with the final song being released to pre-orderererers this coming Friday. Get your pre-order in and come listen to the whole thing with us on Bandcamp for the listening party thing! And always remember, only the physical copies of the album (CDs, Records, etc.) come with the libretto/booklet that have all of the fleshed out story and incredible John DeLucca illustration and Caspar Newbolt design.

And if you missed the previous newsletters and posts, it means you don’t know that MAGFest sold out in record time, but that you shouldn’t freak out if you didn’t get a badge, because we’re planning a little something here in Nashville for mid 2026 that you don’t want to miss. We’ll dole out more info on that as we know more details. But go ahead and clear your schedules for the entire year, because it’s gonna be a big little something.

And stiiiiiillllll no word on a pre-order date for Vinyl, but we’re getting closer.

See you Friday for the finale!
