Working on those last bits!

We'd like to apologize for the small delay in shipping some of our final Kickstarter rewards. We had a lot of catching up to do after 2 and a half months on the road this summer. Speaking of which, thank you so much to all the folks who came out to see us perform this summer. These were really some of the best shows of our career.
I've been digging deep over the last week and sorting through piles of demos from the year+ that we spent working on Lumos. I think this will be a really fun tape for those who are waiting on it.
We're planning on getting mugs and demo tapes out to backers at some point over the next couple weeks – hopefully we'll have them all in the mail before November 1.
If you have moved at some point since our shipment in June, please send us an email (harryandthepotters @ gmail.com) and we'll get your address updated.
Thanks for your patience as we work on these last few bits. We hope you all are still enjoying Lumos.
We have our Yule Balls coming up in December:
Dec 13 | Washington, DC | The Black Cat
Dec 14 | Brooklyn, NY | The Bell House
Dec 15 | Cambridge, MA | The Middle East Downstairs
Those will be fully announced and on sale at some point next week!
Thanks again!
Paul and Joe

Hello again,
Our summer tour is going great so far! Last night in Anacortes, WA, we performed "Where's Ron" for the first time with a couple special guests! WOWOWOW.
There are still a very small number of folks who haven't filled out the BackerKit survey and therefore have not been shipped their Kickstarter rewards. If you're in that camp, shoot us a message and we'll help you out!

New single out! Survey responses needed!
almost 4 years ago
– Thu, Jun 06, 2019 at 08:50:55 PM
Yesterday we dropped another new single from Lumos!
Please have a listen to Hermione's Army. It's one of our favorite tracks from the new album. Is it a jam? Is it a groove? You decide!
Earlier in the week, we sent out surveys to all our backers. Most folks have already returned the survey – good job all you early-birds! – but if you haven't done it yet, dig around in your email and get it back to us ASAP.
When you do the survey, there's a few other things you can add-on. One of which is this completely epic summer tour poster with art by Dan McCarthy. This 7-color, 18" x 24" glow-in-the-dark screenprint. This thing is amazing.
We're hoping to start getting things shipped out early next week, so get on that survey and we'll start carb-loading the owls. You know... because they're gonna have a lot of mail to deliver.
