We had very little time to figure out how to put all this stuff together. Feels like you should need a license to rent this kind of equipment. #Redcamera

Go Deep - Gentlemen’s Club

The boys are out

So it’s shutting down

I’ll try to stand up

But I don’t know how There’s a violence. That’s grabbed us.

It’s out of hand

The attraction that holds us. It’s got to end

It breaks up, singles out, and it shuts them down.

Cutting straight to the heart

And you need to understand that you’ll never understand

There’s an emotion that you’ve never felt

Walking down the street

You see some meat

You’re drooling at the mouth

You said “She should have changed her route.”

“Can’t help but shout.”She’s shutting down

Did you get your fucking rise?Well I can see it in her eyes

It makes me sick Calling out, a life centered on shame

You break her down with words

To watch her decay

You found your prey Feeding the hate

Feeding the Shame, So easy to place the blame

It makes me sick

A life centered on shame

You break her down, with words

To watch her decay

You found your prey Feeding the hate

Feeding the Shame, So easy to place that blame

“As a small band on tour, you really hope for 50 to 100 dollars a night, and you hope for that knowing that even if you get it, you’re probably not going to break even. It’s definitely crippling, I think, for the scene in general, because it is so hard to break even on the road. You do it because you love it and you hope that things will change in the future. The problem is you have to have a few extra hundred dollars for the inevitable flat tire and you better hope that there’s no big problem, because if you do run into a big problem, the tour’s done. It’s this sickening level of risk that only certain people in the world are crazy enough to dive in, but I think that’s what makes us so powerful essentially or that’s what really brings us together is that we’re all just kind of like, fucked up kids who are willing to do this because we love doing it.”

Going to see Zoolander 2 today. It’s probably not good. But I figured I should post this in honor of our Vern’s passing. Cleaning her up for our first tour.

METZ are a sick band. New music. New.

Jesus Lizard killing it at CBGB’s circa 1997.  We’ve been digging through the coffee table book they put out. Wild dudes.

This is Cold Moon. It’s a benefit comp featuring one of our songs from our full length. There are a lot of cool bands and all proceeds are donated to the Wolf Sanctuary of PA. Learn about it. Support it. Plus the tapes are pretty.

Last week we ran into some van troubles. We were supposed to play with this band Sights. Scott from the band booked the show. And we broke down 3 hours away in the mountains. Alfonso and Jacob drove out throughout the night to pick us up, and bring us out to SLC. They helped us immensely and we wanted to thank them. Check out their band. We live in Las Vegas now. More to come.

We premiered our new video the other day on Revolver. Check it out. Post/repost. This is the culmination of friends helping friends. Stoked on how it came out.
