Next on the WS20 band appreciation list is the marvelous Merrick’s Tusk, who also have a new album coming soon. Some impromptu rocking with them in Nottingham a few years back kinda helped plant the seeds for this whole rotating-band idea. Instant chemistry, everyone listening to each other and loving the tunes together. We had 3 guitars goin in this combo, made for a fun wall of sound. They made a badass lil tour video too, should be easy to find on their socials. Smiles all around. #ws20 @merrickstusk https://www.instagram.com/p/BrIoVRuH8lB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r6zbzah9h8lq

Had a blast in Bristol tonight. There was a massive disco ball above us, and I really wanted a picture with it, and I didn’t remember until near the end of the last song, and then I didn’t want to worry about taking a picture, so I just started a video, and held the phone in my hand for the rest of the rocking. Glad I did. Feels like the mood in these rooms. Wild and smiling. Thanks to everyone on this final WS20 tour for makin the shows feel like playing tunes at 14 in the basement. That’s what it’s all about. Three shows left. #ws20 #loveamericanstyle #discoball #rockin jonahmatranga.com/shows (at The Crofters Rights) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD9Rw9ntVs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ifnq3xz2phye

#tbt To some tiny and likely very smoky basement space in Paris, sometime in 2000. Thx @forestierjc for reminding me. After all the (superfun) full-band rocking this year for #ws20 I’m dreaming of lotsa little solo shows in strange spaces next year to celebrate the start of the sweet lil Sketchy part. All of the adventures. jonahmatranga.com/shows #happylivinsmall (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpE9c1Un7JR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4hxng4rq35b

Walkin through lower Manhattan in the morning sun, just like I did when we were making Water & Solutions. Echoes everywhere. No accidents. NYC, you still get me. See you tonight, Mercury. #ws20 jonahmatranga.com/shows (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG3vhHgTSX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17s24yhmxaxju
