For our first show, Dingus had to pull out due to an illness. Couch Potato Massacre quickly jumped on and filled in

Strippers and bad ideas ran rampant at this venue. We should have known better; we did it for the money, but we didn’t make a dime. Consider this a life lesson in venue selection.

Our Fourth show was the one where we finally started to get the formula right. Great lineup, amazing venue, and a truly smooth night. The only wrinkle? The profound boredom of our bass player, who decided the only solution was to print and distribute multiple, redundant sets of promotional flyers. Maybe next time we’ll give him a coloring book.

Route 47… It was an evening. An evening where, against all odds, we confirmed that at least two people in the world considered us “friends” enough to attend. That’s the entire highlight reel. Mark it down: two friends. The end.

The night was short but sweet, built around a fundraiser that our skate-punk hearts had to support. Thanks to all the hard-working bands who made sure the entire event ran without a hitch.

Ventured out to a new location where the air was thick with possibility (and probably stale beer). With new bands to play with and the promise of new friendships, our low expectations were quickly tossed out the window as the night progressed into pure, glorious chaos.

If your ideal evening includes pickled eggs, beer so cheap it’s practically a public service, and the quintessential dive bar experience, then congratulations—this was the show you should have attended! We made some great new friends and proved that sometimes, the best nights happen when you expect absolutely nothing.

Video games, mini golf, and a genuinely super-rad lineup made this gig a blast before we even hit the stage. But the true, stunning victory of the night was that we actually got paid! Yes, physical currency exchanged hands. We’re still recovering from the shock.

Once again, Dingus mysteriously had to jump off the bill. (At this point, we just assume Dingus has a standing illness.) Fortunately, we quickly secured Art of Amoeba as a replacement. The night was a huge success, mostly because Art of Amoeba brought more members than Dingus had, resulting in a significantly larger built-in audience! Bonus: It was our first show outside of the cities!

This was a challenging gig: opening for a genuinely heavy-hitting lineup. We felt a bit like imposters, but we persevered and survived the set! It was significant for being our first show as a four-piece without Tommy. It turns out the change didn’t slow Timmy down; in fact, he went so ballistic he almost jumped right through the floorboards.

Oh, Melort! What a night. A fantastic pop-punk band from Denver and a high-energy ska band came together and absolutely shook down the house! This was also a memorable milestone: our very first show at Acadia.

This instantly became one of our all-time favorite shows! We finally got the chance to play on the big stage and we absolutely let it fly. Playing the Totally Rad Vintage Fest was an incredible experience that proved we could handle the pressure and deliver a huge show when given the opportunity. We left feeling validated and ready for more.

The Pilllar Forum (still a mystery why there are three L’s in the name; some say it stands for Live, Love, and Lasagna) is fast becoming one of our favorite spots. This show was a massive success, highlighted by playing with great bands like Rad Owl and Cut Rate Clones. It truly blew away all expectations.

This was a cool show! We had the opportunity to host and play with the math rock bass player from Stop Drop Rewind. It was a truly fun night and a great collaboration.

The night we hit a massive milestone: our first sold-out show! The house was packed, and we have Project 37 and the other bands to thank for bringing in the crowd. This venue now holds a truly special place in our hearts, and we absolutely can’t wait to return.

Playing with Atomic Lights and Maelstrom in the Harbor—easily two of our favorite bands—was a blast. And, as always, we love playing at Can Can Wonderland!

We returned to Acadia for Round 2, this time playing alongside East Bay’s own Stayout! The lineup brought back that classic, high-energy skate-punk sound. We successfully helped out a touring band and were rewarded with the best souvenir: some sweet fan art!

Did we mention that we love The Pilllar Forum? (We’re still unsure why they use three L’s in the name—maybe it stands for Ladies Like Louie? Still a mystery.) Either way, this night was a blast! Each band was better than the last, and we even saw a small group of high school-age kids sneak into the venue just to watch us play. The lights were bright and the crowd was on fire.
