Watch "The Watcher"
New Video from New Album
Here is another installment in our Monthly Music Video Series. We love to take advantage of the fact that we have an editor in the band. Derek put up secret cameras while we recorded the album, To the Memory of a Once Great Man and then cut it up all pretty to one of our newest tracks, "The Watcher". Please, watch and enjoy.
Now Merch Can Be Bought Online - What!?!
New Store on Big Cartel
It has taken us six years to tame the magical beast that is the internet. Thanks to bigcartel.com, we have an online store so anyone can get their grubby, little paws on our merchandise without having to attend a show or perform strange favors.
You will notice that the albums are on sale right now for way, way less than the purchase price on CDbaby or iTunes or Amazon. That's because we have a monopoly... and it's effin' Boardwalk and Park Place bitches.
FYI: The newest album, To The Memory of a Once Great man, will be released this Spring. So, keep your britches on.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Mele Kalikimaka
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.
SpottieOttieThankalicious
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...
