@joetrainorjunk the thing I most frequently notice about Loveless is how strong the melodies are on their own. you could play those songs with any variety of instruments/arrangements and they’d still sound great. that’s some good songwriting 👌

we played our last show in Tokyo last night to a packed audience of some of the most attentive listeners we’ve ever had the pleasure of performing for. thank you so much to all of the amazing bands that played with us and to all of our new (and old!) fans, you’re all the best ♥️

Speaking of underappreciated bands, just watched the This Is Pop documentary on one of my favorites: XTC. Fascinating look into how a record label and marketers completely fucked over a band by trying to make them something they weren't.

my high school band. just a duo with me on guitar and vocals and my friend Kevin on drums + Rhodes. he played it like Nate Kinsella with the Rhodes set up over his drum kit! basically no overdubs on this EP we made except for the vocals and a couple of little guitar things.

minor vent: we’ve been to KEXP HQ a handful of times over the years on tours, dropped off records, followed up with DJs/MDs, and always and only gotten radio silence. anyone have any tips for getting your music on the air? it’s extra important to us now that they’re local, too!

Felt appropriate to post this on Labor Day. Here are the merch cuts being taken by the venues on this upcoming tour. This is going to cause us to sell our merch for higher prices than we'd like to at certain venues. We think that sucks. 1/

this 1998 Gibson SG-Z was my first nice guitar. I’ve had it since I was 17 years old. It’s had a number of headstock breaks and modifications done to it over the years, but a surprising number of the odd features on it are stock. It’s a pretty rare model!

I played at least 15 Teles before they dragged out a beat up case and opened it to reveal this guitar. I said “no! No black, no rosewood!,” but they insisted that I try it and, as soon as I grabbed the neck, I knew it was *the one*. It’s been my favorite guitar ever since!
