Tilly and the Wall looking for kids to be in a video + Simon Joyner Kickstarter album

TEAM LOVE RECORDS — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:42:18 +0000

From the Tillies:
Hey y'all! Tilly and the Wall is looking for a handful of youngsters to star as a pack of love-rabid, desert youths in a new video we are making! The video will be shot on February 18th, all day, in Joshua Tree, California. We need a two 7-8 year olds, four 12-14 year olds and one or two in their later teens. We, unfortunately, have a verrrry small budget so we cannot compensate monetarily but will provide food and lots of fun!!!
Please contact us at tillyvideo@gmail.com if you are or know anyone who might be interested in joining us for some awesome times in the desert! :)

And on another note, our dear friend Simon Joyner is making a new record that will be funded entirely through Kickstarter! To help him out, visit his Kickstarter page. We'll be carrying the album in at the Team Love RavenHouse Gallery once it's completed.

Announcing Sea of Bees – Orangefarben

TEAM LOVE RECORDS — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:56:01 +0000

Released on May 1st, 2012 on Team Love Records, Orangefarben is as much of a reflection of one relationship as it is of the relationships we all have with one another. There's giddy joy, desperate sorrow, yearning, fear, frustration, and a depth of emotion that can only come when sharing little or big portions of yourself with a kindred spirit. Just as Julie Ann Bee was unafraid to share so much of herself on this album, she encourages you take to Orangefarben with the same fearless abandon. PLEASE NOTE: "Sea of Bees" WILL NOT BE IN STORES UNTIL MAY 1, 2012. ALL PRE-ORDERS WILL SHIP TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO STREET DATE.

Announcing Conduits self-titled debut album in stores 3/20!

TEAM LOVE RECORDS — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:50:31 +0000

We are so excited to announce the release of Conduits self-titled debut album, in stores on March 20th. Check out Top of the Hill (mp3), and if you like what you hear, place a pre-order! Pre-orders will ship two weeks prior to the street date.

Though they hail from a town famous for producing singer-songwriters, Conduits' music wouldn't feel right played on an acoustic guitar. These guys know that a perfectly placed drum hit, a thunderous synth bass crescendo, or a squalling guitar can sometimes be just as crushing as any lyric or chord progression. They draw as much from Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine as they do from Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin, and probably land somewhere in the middle. "
Catch Conduits on tour with Cursive this spring.

Announcing the Team Love RavenHouse Gallery

TEAM LOVE RECORDS — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 15:26:00 +0000

In the summer of 2009 Team Love moved from the East Village of Manhattan to the Hudson Valley community of New Paltz. We’d been through town on occasion while visiting the Felice Brothers, and whether it was the two healthy record stores located across the street from one another, or the stunning rock cliffs that guarded the town to the west, the village quickly became the focus of our ideas and dreams for what Team Love could become in the future.
Two years later, we’re delighted to announce the arrival of Team Love RavenHouse Gallery. The space, at 11 Church Street in the village of New Paltz, is joint effort of Team Love Records and RavenHouse Management. It serves as both company's offices, as well as existing as a space open to the public that includes an art gallery and a retail space selling music, cloth, metallic bugs, colorful lamps, comic books, used records, and more.
Why? In a nutshell, after spending most of the last decade despairing over the shuttering of great record store after great record store, and witnessing the tedious shift from the physical to the cyber, we decided it was time to push back a bit, to claim at least a few square feet of actual tactile space for ourselves, to build a wall, hang some vinyl lps on it, and open shop. That task is now complete, so if you find yourself driving north on the NY Turnpike, come visit out town and our shop. We promise there is no other place like it.
This month the gallery features a series of limited edition prints by Butch Hogan. The show includes never-before-seen images of Willy Mason, Desaparecidos, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, and more. To purchase photos, and for more information about the gallery please visit http://www.tl-rh.com. And, if you're in New Paltz on April 16, stop by the gallery (at 11 Church Street) between 7-9pm to help celebrate, with sets by Willy Mason, David Dondero, and Justice of the Unicorns.
