twentytwo Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Don't know how many of you know about this band but they are great in my opinion. They just put up a Kickstarter to buy a new van for the band and included is the only way to Pre-Order thier new album White Lighter that is coming out in August, You should check them out, if you haven't already http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598493978/send-typhoon-on-tour-this-fall?ref=live ksuwdboots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick059 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Typhoon's great. I'm still listening to Hunger and Thirst... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibum00 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I hit up the preorder on kickstarter for the new record, everything I have heard so far sounds good. I have been looking for Hunger and Thirst on Vinyl for months and have not found one anywhere. I saw the reissued it for the kickstarter project but its only available at the 150$ level and up.

ksuwdboots Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Really love this band, anybody that likes Arcade Fire and/or indie rock (especially orchestral based) should really check them out. In the details of the Kickstarter page it says White Lighter will be a Special Edition Gatefold LP on White Vinyl with Red/Yellow Splatter, which should match the cover art nicely. I assume the regular/retail version will be on standard black vinyl, but don't know that for certain. I also missed out on Hunger & Thirst on vinyl, which made me happy/excited to see this statement at the bottom of Tender Loving Empire's news post in May about Typhoon leaving TLE for Roll Call Records: "TLE will be reissuing 180 gram colored vinyl editions of Typhoon’s Hunger & Thirst (on red vinyl) as well as A New Kind of House (on chocolate brown vinyl) in the very near future."

Skibum00 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My understanding is that this is the only preorder for the record. My guess would be even if they don't reach 60,000 they will contact you about still purchasing the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I think this gets funded, no problem. In the words of Wayne Campbell "Oh yes it will be mine." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrice55 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Already at 13k with 28 days left, they are in good shape I would say. I'm super tempted to back for 150 and get the double LP represses of HaT and ANKoH, gonna hold off for a bit on that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwo Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Bump because this thing only has 20 days left and really needs to get funded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb2k1 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 missed that info on hunger and thirst, nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If you haven't pledged yet or didn't see the update video, they did add a new $50 reward for JUST the "Hunger & Thirst" and "A New Kind of House" special edition double LP repressing ONLY (does NOT include the pre-order of White Lighter). I wish they would add a reward for $75 that included both as I'd be all over that (even though I already have the clear 10"pressing of "A New Kind of House").

ksuwdboots Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Bump. There are only 15 days left and they are just under $25k short still. Also, they added some new rewards including: a test pressing (only two available!) of “White Lighter” vinyl, signed sleeve (note this is a test pressing, so there is no artwork, just a blank black vinyl in white sleeve) + "White Lighter" CD or LP pre-order for $350.

twentytwo Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Bump because this needs to get funded and for the fact that they are playing Nashville the same night is Phoenix. Might have to pull double duty that night. Already have the Typhoon tickets just need to get my Phoenix tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Bump. Just 6 days left and they are just under $19k short still. This really needs to get funded, please check this band out if you haven't already!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwo Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Bump.Only 3 days my left, trying to get this funded. If you haven't heard of Typhoon give them a listen, they are a great band who deserve to have a decent van to tour this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksuwdboots Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 With less than 24 hours left, this is now funded!! So if you were holding out/waiting to pledge, the rewards are now guaranteed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibum00 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Glad this got funded, can't wait to hear White Lighter. I also just saw Hunger and Thirst and A New Kind of House reissues are available separately on Tender Loving Empire's website.Orange and Translucent brown vinyl respectively.

BrainGilliams Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 NPR is streaming White Lighter in its entirety and I just completed my first listen. It is absolutely fantastic. They have just continued to build on the EP and this will probably easitly grow into my favortite Typhoon material. So glad I contributed to the Kickstarter and I hope they come through my city on their tour. Give it a listen.... http://www.npr.org/2013/08/06/207905137/first-listen-typhoon-white-lighter?refresh=true ksuwdboots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you missed out on the Kickstarter, you can pre-order it via their former label Tender Loving Empire (which is also offering their whole discography, including White Lighter, via discounted CD or colored LP bundles) here: https://www.tenderlovingempire.com/12/tle-music/typhoon-white-lighter/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
