Humming House Debut Album Release Party
Our First Show Since Aught Nine
Can you believe it? It's been way too long since we played live. Thankfully, our good friends Humming House decided to fit us on the bill for their debut album release show! We're honored, because they are pretty amazing people/musicians/pie-fighters. Don't believe me? Check this out.
So next Saturday night, January 21st stop by the Basement and get your Umbrella Tree fix. Andrew Combs will be opening. Humming House will be headlining. I mean... can you think of anything better to do?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

That's how they say Merry Christmas in Hawaii, in case you did not know. Here's another track and another video. This time it's holiday-themed-Umbrella-Tree-style. Enjoy.
Have a very merry Christmas.
We'll be seeing you all next year.
Holla.

Thanks to Our Backers
Well, Kickstarter was a sweet rollercoaster ride. We inched our way up to the tippy top and did a 360 degree loop. Exhilarating and equally terrifying, we're amazed we didn't tumble to our deaths.
But enough with the analogies, there are thanks to be said. So we made a video because well frankly, that's how Umbrella Tree do.
We thank all the backers who contributed and made this vinyl release possible. THANK YOU. Without you, there never could have been a successful campaign on Kickstarter. Without you, there never could have been an early digital download in your email inbox. Without you, there never could have been a slick cover of SpottieOttieDopalicious with your name in it. DAMN! Now go and marinate on that for a minute...
As for other news, we will be playing a live show soon!
The planets will align on Friday, January 21st. So watch out!
Made Our Goal But It's Not Over Yet
Last Chance to Pre-Order
We surpassed our goal on Kickstarter yesterday thanks to the support of everyone who contributed. Of course, the people who pre-ordered the vinyl will be getting the appropriate rewards + extra goodies that we're cooking up. We're throwing it all in a pot and it's going to be seasoned and delicious. Thanks again to our backers.
But wait a minute... 10 days left? Wow, that's still a lot of time to pre-order. Remember the deal. It's $5 off the normal price. You'll get the download instantly on December 1st. Extra goodies will be sent as well. Zack spoke of this in the video here, so you know it's not a lie.
You better hop on this train before it rolls by. The more you love us, the more we'll love you back. Win-win.
New Music Video. New Youtube Channel. New Everything.
We got us another video people. It's great to have an editor in the band. Derek did a superb job. Of course, Ben Pearson and David Ogle gave him some incredible shots to work with. Did anyone else know that amazing bridge existed in Nashville? Cause I sure as hell did not.
Quote from an old man walking on the Pedestrian Bridge while we were shooting, "Is there a body in there?" He believed we were going to ceremoniously throw the coffin over the bridge and let it tumble into the Cumberland River. Now that would have been a great shot...
In other NEW news, we have a legit Youtube channel now. It's got all the videos from The Letter C DVD plus an extensive collection of live footage. It's that Hi-Def ya'll! And stay tuned for more videos coming very, very soon.
Incredible.
