Want to know how to play the new song, It Was A Dark and Stormy Night, on guitar? Sonnie will show you how. Check out this Kickstarter backer only update.

Hey guys, Scott here. We thought you backers might be interested in hearing some demos of "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night", as well as some more info about how the song came about. Reese already shed some light on how this reunion got kicked off in his interview with Relevant. Well, the intro to what became the new song was among the first things I worked on after we first discussed the possibility of reuniting. Here's the rough demo I threw together back in May of 2010...

Hey rockers, we wanted to give you some more details about the Kickstarter show we'll be doing in a few months. We realize asking $200 is high, especially for a Five Iron show, but this one is going to be extra special. Aside from the fact that it will be our first show in over 8 years, this will be an intimate setting, as we will be performing at a small venue and are limiting it to approximately 400-500 people. We are also having the show catered, and all of us will be hanging out throughout the evening as we'd love a chance to meet as many of you as we can. Still, we know that there are many of you that would love to attend but can't swing the $200. So we have decided to give everyone who makes this pledge a +1, effectively cutting the price of this special show in half. This, of course, applies to anyone who has already made this pledge as well. This also means we have to reduce the number of available tickets, though, so we can keep this an intimate show. We hope this helps!

Needless to say, we are already working on new material for the album. Because so many people have graciously given we have broadened our horizons to shows and festivals! We are also in the process of combining our schedules (all of us do have full time committed day jobs as well as families) and will keep you posted on future shows.

We want you all to know we do not take lightly the fact that so many of you long to see us play live once again. That being said, please keep in mind we are looking at the big picture when it comes to the future of FIF, and evaluating what your generous pledges have made possible. Once the fundraiser has ended and we've paid the fees owed to Kickstarter, Uncle Sam, the cost to fulfill the pledge rewards, recording expenses, and promotion, we will have a much better idea of what we can accomplish, and how often we can play.

We are excited to get out there again and see you at the shows!
