once at my old job Tom petty walked through the “kitchen” (basement) absolutely ripping a cig and he nodded his head in gratitude while I was tying up a bag of wet trash
the streaming release cycle is hard on artists and unrewarding for listeners. revisit a record that came out a while ago. let it grow on you, our music culture should not be as disposable as everything else. sometimes the best things aren't instantly gratifying or relatable. don
I think of recordings as more like paintings than photographs. Sometimes things should be clear and crisp but sometimes shit should be smudged and blended and just a beautiful mess
The attention span for music seems shorter than its ever been, which is a shame bc so much time and work and love goes into this shit. Anyway this is one of my favorite records of all time
I will be having wrist surgery this week and will unfortunately have to drop off the shows that have been announced for this and next month.
Thanks for all your support, I am hoping to be able to play again in a few months. In the meantime I have merch available on bandcamp ❤️
s/t is dedicated to my aunt piphy, who passed away yesterday decades too soon. I don’t think I’d be making music or that I’d be the person I am today without her encouragement, love and support. Love u ❤️

@xgregmendezx
talks beating addiction, the music of his childhood, and the quiet masterpiece of an album he's releasing this week
We are pleased to welcome BABEHOVEN to Johnny Brenda's for their own big time headliner on May 18th, alongside current reigning king of Philly indie GREG MENDEZ! What a gig!
Metrics are cool and all but hearing from just one person that your music helped them through some tough times is honestly worth so much more than any numbers ever could be
