>  
> We have learned that **the fan funding model is still not fully developed** and, as a result, a $250,000 fund raising effort, while possible, will take too long to accomplish….  
>  
> We also have reached the conclusion that **we will no longer include expenses for sales and marketing in our fund raising** budget and goals.  
>  
> As a result of our SellaBand experience and all that we have learned, we now believe that a **$75,000 fund raising target will fulfill the needs for a new recording project** and is much more appropriate for the strength of the existing SellaBand model and the current economic climate. 

Today, we are **announcing that we are now offering** a total 3,000 parts for Believers at a value of $25.00 each to raise a total of $75,000\. The $75,000 will be used to fund the complete recording costs and expenses for our next album. As of April 10th, we have already sold 2,225 parts. As a result, we only need to sell 775 additional parts to reach our new goal.
