HAPPY HALLOWEEN, GHOUL GANG! Now that’s it’s been 3 months since our last show, here’s a clip from it. Shout outs to our guest Writhers, Kris Calabio from Calabio Twins on drums and Apeman from Butt Candy. We couldn’t have played that show without them!

We promise we’ll have an actual drummer at our next show. Can’t guarantee we’ll have a real singer by then though.

As June comes to a close, Roach Boy and myself on behalf of the Writhers hope everyone’s Pride month was fun and safe. Everyday is Halloween. Every month is Pride.

A horrific thank you to everyone who came out to the show & that listened to the early preview of BUG STUFF yesterday. Was that the last Writhers show ever? If we all die tomorrow, probably. When one completes the correct rituals in the precise order, the Writhers will return.

⚠️NEW MICRO-ALBUM STREAMING TODAY ONLY FOR BANDCAMP FRIDAY⚠️
Lift up a rock to watch this insect-sized, insect-themed micro album squirm in the light. Horrorpunks the Writhers, spawn four creepy crawly tracks for entomology lovers that will have listeners shouting: “I like bug stuff!”

⚠️WRITHERS BOOKING IS NOW CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE⚠️
We will be on hiatus as we lock in on our first studio length album of completely unreleased material. We’re hoping the SoCal Ghoul Gang turns out for what will more than likely be our last show of 2025, 3/7 at Ken Club.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Ghoul Gang. All of you are our valentines.

Point Pleasant 1966, by The Writhers from the album Ghastly Reminders

30 day song challenge day 27: new song

@thewrithers.bsky.social - Point Pleasant 1966

This is from 2019, but I only heard it last year when I saw them live. Like Oingo Boingo fronted by Jello Biafra. Here’s a song about having Mothman as a romantic rival.
