Alrighty well this is post number two. Thank you to those of you who have subscribed. I never used substack before this for anything so it’s cool to see some people tuning in here. I figured I’d start with a weekly round up of what’s been going on.
First off - if you haven’t already heard the news, last week (6/2) we released a cover EP of three Sebadoh songs. They’re streaming up now wherever you do that, and we also have some Youtube vids that I thought were funny. I could get into the details about how important that band is to us but I’m sure you already know. And if you don’t, you should go listen. We were lucky enough to have Lou Barlow contribute some of his handwriting to the album cover. I was shocked. Lol.
Next, we only had one show on the horizon and that happened last night. We played at the Lodge Room in Highland Park, opening for Narrow Head on their Moments of Clarity tour. The show was great. It was perfect too because it was also Yarden’s birthday. We only had 30 minutes to play and we use a lot of different tunings so it felt somewhat like a speed run. Sometimes it’s hard to feel anything in that situation because you’re super focused. It’s kinda like sports. You don’t realize how great it was until it’s over… and boy it was great. We had a lot of fun. Our setlist was the following: Birds Fly Free, Nullify, Marcy, Denial, a NEW song, Illuminate, and Talking Secret. Those songs are all pretty much in different tunings for me. Lol. I’ve attached a couple photos from the show I thought were pretty cool.
We are currently booking our own tour for the fall. A full US run. But that really is our only plan for future shows. We will be taking out local LA rockers, Rocket, with us on the road if all goes as planned (fingers crossed). That should be good — we haven’t hit so many cities since before the pandemic so we’re looking forward to doing that.
Now what will occupy our time between now and October you may be wondering. Well we have been demoing new songs since January. Literally we started on New years day this year fresh as a 3 piece working together. We’re about 16 songs in now - they aren’t all good but hey we’re working on it. We are on track to be recording our new album in late July and or early August. More on that soon. But it should be GOOD. We’re also gonna start workshopping some other content ideas.. more on that soon as well.

Can't wait for the new songs!
YAAY NEW MUSIC AND TOUR!! so stoked!! 👽
