Since 2001 Graves has been incredibly selective about performing Monster Rock music in his signature "Skele-Crow" make-up. Michale has announced that he plans on a limited number of in character "Skele-Crow" performances in 2013 coinciding with the "Lost Skeleton returns" project.

Graves commented "Monster Rock and the Skele-Crow persona is my origin, my passion and part of who I will always be as a performer. This album is a true anthology of my work and highlights the most important songs that I have written and performed. I have been consistently asked about my formal return to the Horror Rock world and now I have an incredibly exciting album and tour to reassert my trajectory into the genre that launched my career".

After recent success launching his pop/folk/rock album "Vagabond" on KickStarter, Graves decided that the pre-selling and promotion of his return to the Horror Rock world was perfectly suited to KickerStarter.

In addition to pre-sales of the "Lost Skeleton Returns" album, Graves will be offering an assortment of pledge level opportunities ranging from T-Shirts and stage used clothing to in-person performances, and a Halloween 2013 event dubbed "The Halloween Party of the Year".

Graves is also offering a limited number of band consulting packages entitled "Michale Graves Monster University". Graves notes "I wanted to create a way that I could assist in the development of bands and Monster U is the perfect way to achieve that goal".
