CARDIACS are finally releasing their long lost album. 🌼

I got all excited and learned the song already. Hope that's alright.
All snowy in the Pond. We are lucky to be here. "Woodeneye" it is. #cardiacs

Woke they read it with eyes.

Now we come to the end.
"Southern Progress in the Northwest" finishes tonight on familiar ground as we return to St. Louis for our third year in a row.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us feel so welcome in so many new places the past 2+ weeks.
It's almost ogre now.

I met Data, best birthday show ever. 🖖

We played our entire new album and multiple versions of "happy birthday" for a very special little Boise bash I'll never forget.
Thank you to Shrine Social Club for an all around fun time. Whatever happens next, it was a rocking birthday. 🪨🎈

Our first stretch of dates ended with an early one (and some @othersbynoone.bsky.social fans 📖) in Iowa last night!
It's been a journey touring the new album for the first time in so many new places, yet still running into people that already like us everywhere we go.

Travel day to Denver, CO. 🦊

It's not every day a member of The Whitest Kids U Know asks to host your show!

Sioux Falls was full of laughs thanks in no small part to Timmy Williams hosting: he even warned me against building a mountain of chairs in the middle of our set (I'd already started) 🪑

Indianapolis! I'm coming for you, along with the rest of Flummox for DAY 1 of our summer headlining tour.

For the next 2+ weeks we'll be on the road performing all the songs on our new album for the first time, including our first-ever shows in the Northwest.

@flummoxband.bsky.social for updates 🎶

A new week is here! Oh, the horrors! Or in my case, tour-rors 😱

Wednesday I'm off to explore a part of the country I've never been, to celebrate our new album "Southern Progress."
Come say hi if you live out west.
@flummoxband.bsky.social

And rest well, Black Sabbath. 🖤

We're hitting the road again in ONE WEEK, and we've used some throwback pics on some of the flyers for our journey west.
This comes from our very first shoot together, before we even announced I was in the group almost four years ago...

First gig in Indy next Wednesday
@flummoxband.bsky.social

Pride Month was a big one to make it through, but it doesn't end here. 🌈

We must celebrate each day knowing our existence is something worth celebrating.
Carry that love & joy with you everywhere you go, & make it to next June for me if not yourself.

Good luck, I promise to do my best with you. 💙

You ever burgle a cat's whole hat (and ears) from Mac Sabbath?

What are you doing? 🎶

One book, three songs, eight years now. 📖

This little time machine dropped in 2017 and will forever be close to our hearts as it traverses even more memories in times to come.

As always, thank you for continuing to read, and now more than ever: don't judge a Book by its cover. 🌈

BREAKING: Brian Wilson - Beach Boys genius, and pop revolutionary - has died at the age of 82.

What an incredible legacy he leaves behind.

How's that for cat-titude? Burgling cats (not really) with Mac Sabbath in Chicago last weekend, from the final night of our national tour together.

Gonna miss this goofball, thanks for the book on the Monkees and singing about bread every night.
"But, Ronald!" 🍔🍟🍔🍟🍔

Max Mobarry standing with Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Idiot Flesh, Acid Rain, Free Salamander Exhibit, etc) after an SGM concert in Louisville, Kentucky. Max is holding a drumstick launched from percussionist Michael Mellender during the final moments of the performance.

I just got off tour, but you gotta road trip to catch Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
I am so lucky to have witnessed the museum of the past that hides the future twice now.

The world is a better place with the museum open in it. Hope it won't be my last time seeing these beautiful nerds together. 🦍

The healthiest tour of the year ends tonight with a sold-out show in Chicago.
Such an experience can really do a lot to a person, especially someone with a burger for a head: but no matter how flummoxing the circumstances, the operation was still a success. 🍔

Let's finish this in the windy city. 💨

Birmingham-burger, you rocked. Felt good to be reunited with our full lineup as our eastern US trek continues. Having a blast on double duty this tour while our keyboardist finishes school. 🎹

Tonight is ROCK-lanta, our first time at The Loft.
See you on a Saturday night with Mac Sabbath.
🍔🍟🍔🍟🍔

Flummox does Dallas!! TONIGHT we pick up where we left off with Mac Sabbath as we team up for the next few weeks for some truly weird shows all over the eastern US. 🍔

Come see us early outside near a Ferris wheel at the appropriately named Ferris Wheelers. 🎡
We're on tour.

I understood the assignment. ✝️🦊✝️
Our album release show was a big success, as was performing the entire album we've been working on for the first time ever.
Thank you to everyone who made Friday night an unforgettable spiritual retreat.

"Southern Progress" available now

Flummox's ✝️SOUTHERN PROGRESS: their most obnoxious album yet is OUT NOW!🐷

The record is a satirical and scathing critique of Christian nationalism, fascism, & collective trauma written by a band of queers living in the Bible Belt. 🌈

Streaming and physicals now available!
@flummoxband.bsky.social

This damn Flummox album I've been working on since joining the band finally drops next Friday.
Another of my life's greatest works that after years of effort I'm thrilled to see what YOU make of it.

See you with something really special in a week.

"SOUTHERN PROGRESS" 💿
@flummoxband.bsky.social

It's Bandcamp Friday, and these nerds (and I) are finally putting out an album we've been working on the whole time I've been in the band.
@flummoxband.bsky.social

Next month you finally get to hear "Southern Progress" – a lifetime achievement that profoundly reflects the days we're living in. 💿

Playing a little "Book I" at one of the neatest venues around, Kentucky's Planet of the Tapes 📼

...while "The Neverending Story" plays in the background
(you know the scene 🐴😢)

You can stream the new FLUMMOX song "Siren Shock" anywhere now.
Here's the thumbnail from the music video, where we jam out some heavy swing whilst hunting for the ultimate prize: an opossum, of course.

Watch the full thing on YouTube.
"Southern Progress" drops April 11 💿
