Live Album from THE TEA PARTY?

It seems that fans of Canadian rock act THE TEA PARTY can’t wait for some new material from the recently reformed trio.

With a catalogue consisting of eight releases in The Tea Party’s career so far (their last release was in 2004), fans on the band’s Facebook page & at recent live shows have shown an increasing amount of interest in a new or live recording. Of course there’s an Australian National Tour in July and Canadian Tour through August this year to get through first, so a new studio recording will have to wait! In the interim, a live album recorded during their upcoming Australian Tour wouldn’t at all be out of the question!

However, to make it all happen, the band will need the support from their fans! Here is where you come in … kicking off on June 1st (Australia June 2nd), you can go to http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/theteapartylive to pledge your support and get the wheels in motion. With a deadline of 60 days to meet the target, if the target isn’t met, you will be reimbursed and no record is made.

“We’ve always wanted to do a proper live record, and the opportunity to capture the band in front of a passionate Australian audience has presented itself to us. The fans can join us and together we bring this record to life via Pledgemusic.com. With Pledgemusic, our fans are able to tell us exactly what they want by pledging. This might be the future of the music business, or perhaps one of the futures.” – Stuart Chatwood (bass/keys/vox)

So there you have it Tea Party fans…let’s make it happen!
