Update #1: Fixed Lyric Canvas Link

Posted on December 2, 2010

Hey all

The link to the picture of the lyric canvas is broken, and Kickstarter won't let you edit rewards, so here is the working link: http://bit.ly/i3vJDh

For reference, that canvas is 24"x36", although the ones we make for The Mistress might be slightly smaller (depending on how long the songs are).

Yellow Ostrich is Alex Schaaf and Michael Tapper.

Formed in Wisconsin as Alex's bedroom recording project, Yellow Ostrich became a "real band" in the summer of 2010 when Alex moved to New York City, released three EPs in one month, and recruited Michael Tapper (formerly of We Are Scientists and currently of Bishop Allen) to play drums.

The Mistress is Yellow Ostrich's first LP.
