The Tea Club is a band that has been making music and visual art since 2003. As we continue to release new material, a vast collection of unreleased work lies beneath the surface of the public eye (we call this "The Archive"). We want to share "The Archive" with our supporters while also providing an exclusive look into the new works that the band is currently creating. By supporting our Patreon campaign, you are funding our continued creative pilgrimage!

The way it works is this: If you make a monthly donation of $1 or more to this Patreon account, you will gain access to our Patreon only posts that we post every month.

$1 MONTHLY (TIER 1)

“From The Archive” - Every month, we will upload one thing from The Archive that is unavailable to the rest of the world for your enjoyment! This includes rare demos, live recordings, unreleased studio tracks, b-sides, live videos, unreleased music videos, photos, and concept art. Every post includes background written by a member of the band sharing their memories of how it all happened. The Tea Club has existed since 2003, and we’ve accumulated PLENTY of unreleased material to share!

“Something New” - We’re ALWAYS creating! Every month, we will post one brand new thing (a video, song, photo, artwork, etc.) that is Patreon only! You won’t be able to get this content anywhere else!

You will also get access to every post we've already uploaded since we began our Patreon in July 2017!

$5 MONTHLY (TIER 2)
Everything from Tier 1, PLUS:

“Tea Club Song Tutorials” - Want to know how to play the acoustic guitar part for “If I Mean When”? Ever wonder how Joe plays that one part in “Creature”? We’ll show you with Patreon only videos teaching you how to play our songs! We are notoriously secretive about this, since we use a lot of made-up alternate guitar tunings to write and play our songs. But we will be unveiling these secrets to YOU, our Tier 2 Patrons only! Even if you’re not a musician, you’ll get an intimate behind the scenes breakdown of exactly what makes our songs tick!
“The Tea Club Reviews Stuff (Tea-Views)” - This is something we used to do on our website waaaay back in the day! We’ll review the music we listen to, movies and TV we watch, video games we play, and books we read, and we’ll post about it for you to read! And if you want us to review something, Tier 2 Patrons can ask us and we’ll check it out!

Goals:

We have nearly 30 new songs. We want to properly record all of them and release them in album form. This will probably become at least 2 full length albums.
We want to make more music videos. We have tons of ideas for music videos that will require a lot of work and money. We want these videos to be as close to the ideas in our imaginations as possible. This will require hi def cameras, complex editing, and animation. We think that these videos will help take our songs to whole other level!
We would love to professionally film and record a live in-studio concert highlighting music from the band's entire discography. It’s time to document the live band that we’ve become, and share performances of the music that we’ve spent so much of our lives on with the world!
We are also still drawing issues for our comic book based on our 4th album Grappling. Instead of hiring someone else to do this, we've decided to do all of the writing, artwork, and assembling that comes with this beloved art form to make it true to our artistic vision. It’s a wild, exciting, complex, and challenging labor of love, but we must tell the story behind those mysterious songs from the Grappling album and share the worlds in our imaginations with you!

All of this requires a LOT of time and money. But what YOU give here on Patreon helps to fund all of our current and future creative endeavors. It even helps to pay for our practice space! Your support means the world to us and helps to make our ideas become a reality! Thank you!!
