commented on a project updateHello! Sorry for the lapse in communication. While most incentives were shipped out weeks ago, there was a delay with sending some of the larger (large poster and CD +) packages due to the fact that we realized as we were packing for shipping that we needed specialized shipping boxes. It took us some time to get them shipped to us, but everything has been sent at this point. You should be receiving your package in a few days via USPS priority mail. We hope your frustrating wait for your goodies doesn't diminish your enjoyment of them. Thanks again!

commented on a projectHello all! Yes! All packages have been shipped at this point. While the majority of the incentives were sent out weeks ago, several of the larger incentives that required special larger, flatter boxes to send CDs, posters and books/folios all at the same time were just shipped yesterday. Those specialized shipping boxes took some time to get shipped to us (ha), and that's where the delay occurred. Those larger packages were shipped priority mail, so it should just be a couple days before everyone has their stuff. Happy holidays, everyone... and thanks again. We are busily getting ready for our first full-band performance of the Music For Interior Castles album at this Saturday's CD release party in Philadelphia; if you are in the area we'd love to see you at the show. If you do make it out please say hello; we'd love to thank you in person for what you've done for us!

Posted project update #16Digital copies of Music for Interior Castles now available!!!
We are happy (well, Ted is ecstatic) to let you know that Music for Interior Castles is now available for download! If you pledged $10 or more to our campaign, you have been emailed your exclusive download code and instructions on how to get your copy, which comes with hi-res files of the CD art and insert, plus a bonus image of the Teresa poster.
Now that the album has been mastered and sent off to the plant we will have this long-awaited and hard-earned sonic gem available in mere days! As soon as the physical copies are here, those of you who pledged $15 or more will be getting those as well, along with any other incentives you are due. Woo hoo!
If you didn't catch TivaTiva when they opened as a duo for Rasputina at Johnny Brenda's on November 30th, you missed one amazing show. Daniel was totally in his element and Darren's incredible drumming was the talk of the evening. It was exciting and powerful, and the audience was screaming for more! Check out amazing some photos from the show taken by Dante Torrieri at blowthescene.com.
If you did miss the duo performance, you can catch another at The North Star Bar next Saturday, the 19th of November. Click here to go to the Facebook event for this show. TivaTiva music and merch will be available for purchase, and Daniel, Darren, Ted and Brendan will be hanging out the whole night so come out have some fun with the band.
AND… Mark your calendars now for TivaTiva's debut full-band performance and CD release party on Saturday, December 17th at Milkboy Philly. Full details to come, but rest assured this is going to be one big party.
On a side note, our website has been redesigned and streamlined with new content being added all the time. If you haven't visited it in a while why not check it out?
Thank you for your continued support. It really means the world to us! Without it none of this would have been possible.
With Love and Thanks,
Daniel, Darren, Ted and Brendan

Posted project update #15Our motto: Do it right or just don't do it. (We'll go with the former.)
Post CommentHere is the skinny on where we are with everything at this moment.
The first round of mixes for Music for Interior Castles are done. We are listening to them with a critical ear and will be making a few tweaks, then the album will go off to mastering.
We have pushed the official release date to the 15th of November for the physical disk, but our Kickstarter friends will be getting it before then. The moment we have the album in hand we will hand it (or mail it) to you. And even sooner than that you will have the opportunity to download the album; once again, the moment we have the mastered songs you will have them too.
The hand letter-pressed packaging is currently en route from Portland, Oregon to Philadelphia. We had the packaging made by the amazing folks at Stumptown Printers and we can't wait to see the beautiful end result.
All the incentives are here and ready to ship. The moment we have the CDs they will go out in the mail with them. Daniel's gorgeous hand painted totes are all completely unique works of art. The mini prints are 2-color linoleum block prints, individually signed and numbered. The illustrated and hand-bound TivaTiva Music Book is beautiful and special, and the art folios are a treasure trove of Daniel's lovely work.
We changed (and we believe improved) the design of a couple of the incentives. The new poster art is more dynamic and striking. Our friends at Sire Press here in Philadelphia did the silk screening, and I must say they did a FANTASTIC job. Also, the t-shirts are completely redesigned with a black-on-grey TivaTiva logo surrounded by roses. We felt these were more universally appealing and more closely fit the personality of the band and the music. We hope you are pleased with the changes we made!
Take a look at the photos below to get a peek at all of the incentives.
We have worked countess hours on this project and are very excited for everyone to see the results of our hard work. This has been an amazing experience and we are proud of what we were able to create with your help. We can't wait to share it with you.
Happy Halloween!

commented on a project updateWow. I should have had my coffee before attempting to reply to your inquiry, David! Now that my brain is working, let me give you some more detail on what is going on with the album. Since we do not have a dedicated bass player for the band, and with the sonic quality of the recordings being what they are, we have decided to replace the bass parts that I (Ted) laid down with keyboard bass. I have spent the last couple of weeks on this, and we are still set to reach our goal of an downloadable album release for Kickstarter supporters on October 15th, with a physical CD available on October 30th. TivaTiva will be opening for Rasputina on October 30th at Johnny Brenda's here in Philadelphia, and we hope that many of you will be at that show! As soon as a couple of the songs are completed (we have already chosen a few to release to listeners first) you will be the first to hear them.

Hmm. No news is, well, a complete lack of news, I guess.
Has anyone received anything yet?
