ENDINGS

Greetings dreamers. On behalf of Mr. Slack and myself, we would like to extend our humble grattitude to everyone who came out and showed us some love these past weeks. Truth be told, we expected some amount of good spirits and posi vibes, but nothing near what you all created within the cozy confines of those rooms in which we provided jams..

It has been an intense couple of weeks. I'll pick up where I left off.. The Edmonds show was a little banger. Played for a decent sized younger crowd at "Frank's house" aka "Frank's mom's house". We love doing these things and meeting rad wish-you-were-my-moms that facilicate loud bone crunching house shows on a month to month basis. Needless to say, we brought the ruckus, kids ate it up, and shelled out their allowance money for some planets merch. Cut Loose exploded everyones penises and vaginas with their sub-tropical twang attack, and Degania fucking devastated the block and passed around a rusty bucket for kids to spit their teeth into. That being said, it was a very warm reception. Everyone was very cool.

Next on the menu was Old School Pizzaria in Olympia. We played with my buddy Jonny's band Christian Mistress, who were, in any case, fucking solid. Check em. I'll just leave it at that. We played for a fat chunk of kids who were "feelin it", respectively. The space sounded and smelled most excellent. Olympia is an awesome town with a lot of attractive people and a lot going on. We were glad to have played for as many people as we did. Big ups to Jonny wolf!

Next was our second (or real) Portland show, at Da Punx Palace. Upon arrival, we knew right off the bat it was going to be lightyears better than our show on the way up, which was really quite a turd and hardly worth mentioning. Hipsters hate us, which i'm guessing is probably a good thing? Anyway, we played with some amazing acts of a colorful variety. It was like a delicious genre salad. I won't get into details, but it was all good and if you weren't there, you missed it. Big thank you to kelly and co. for hooking that up, and also for the much needed shower and shave. I don't think i've ever talked with as many people in such a short amount of time, than when I was washing my naked body in your bathroom.

AND THEN.. Oakland last night. Our home-coming show. Shit was real. Got to see plenty of homies, old and new. Times Of Desperation were heavier than your grandpa's nutsack with a chain hangin' off it, and O lucky man! scrambled synapses and drank kool aid. Thanks to everyone who came out, hung out, and made us feel at home.

Last night's set was dedicated to the memory of a recently fallen friend, Marques Battle. You were an amazing and beautiful person. Our thoughts are with you and your family. You will be forever missed.
