~ The wonderful month of February on Patreon ~

....and continued through what I didn't complete in January.

Ok here goes. Today is the first day I've felt "normal" since I got back from LA. Jetlagged coupled with depression is not a good combo I have discovered. Plus, I had some particularly bad news a couple of weeks back and it knocked me sideways for a while. Anyway. Whatevs. I turned 34. I got divorced. I wrote a song. I'm back now and you can rest assured it is with great pleasure I can announce what is in store for my blessed patrons this month...

(By the way not to put a downer on anything, America was absolutely amazing and I got to spend the whole trip with my fucking sister and best friend HANA PIRANHA and our mutual friend Jason Achillez. It was incredible. So many good things. Hana made a harp record. I met John Fryer. My video blog this month ($15+) will fill you in. If you want to see what amazingness Hana has been doing then follow her here)

Right. Back to the rewards omgyesplease

FEBRUARY REWARDS

1. For starters and to say sorry for last month lacking a bit, I will be recording Lady Grey acoustically - piano, strings and vocals for all patrons. The song you have heard in completion mixed by John Fryer, but I have another quite stripped back and beautiful version on piano for you too. 

2. MAIN THING. Webcast webcast webcast!! I will be doing an exclusive preview of all songs from the new record for all patrons, on Thursday 28th using my new Roland mixer. This is exclusive to Patreon, and a chance for me to reveal the new album. Some I will perform on just piano, some on guitars and some I'll do the backing track we've got recorded so you'll get a real idea of what is to come. EXCITING!

3. $3+ MINI THING. A look at the working behind some Birdeatsbaby songs - I will be doing a song-writing workshop on songs Shiver, Through Ten Walls, Better Man, Box of Razorblades and Enemies Like Me. This will be a complete geek-fest, so please do not tune in if you don’t want to hear Mish talk in Maths. However, I’ll also be discussing the inspiration behind each track and the lyrics of course. This will be Monday 25th Feb, from about 9pm onwards...

4. $5+ PHOTO BUNDLE - my pics from LA, photos from my birthday gig, PLUS you guys will be first to see the album cover art. It's stunning. Can't wait for you to see it.

5. $15+ VLOG - I will be speaking about the writing process behind TWC, plus what I got up to in Los Angeles.

6. $25+ LIVESTREAM we'll be streaming some guitar/violin/vocal recording this month as we put the final touches to the album

7. $50+ I owe you guys a double whammy this month so I was thinking… how about a hand written letter from yours truly? Plus, a lyric sheet from the new album? Or if there’s something else your heart desires then please say so :) The new sigil logo looks pretty rad so if you guys would like it on something then let us know...

8. $70+ I owe you guys TWO COVERS. I will be taking requests, just let me know. Otherwise you’ll probably be getting something jazzy hahaha

9. $100+ …thank you… <3

Ok I think we *might* be back on track. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your support. I can't do this without you so really, thank you xxxxxx

Love & Feathers,
