Hey @thefestfl.bsky.social fans. Dynamo Dave Decker from Big Sad and Too Many Daves, who rocks you twice then works his ass off taking photos all Fest weekend, was arrested for documenting a protest outside an ICE detention facility in Miami. The link to help him out financially is included herein.

FEST 23 was a blast. The sense of community provides a much needed reset this time of year. Refreshed.

Home from tour. Thank you everyone who came to our first @thefestfl.bsky.social set or any of the dates. This was our longest tour to date + our first package tour, and seeing people in states we’ve never played sing along made it feel like all the grinding has been worth it.

I’m still processing the magnitude of @thefestfl.bsky.social this weekend (and especially finally getting to perform at FEST Wrestling).
The short version is that it was all awesome and—at the risk of excessive earnestness—really special to me.
Thank you to everyone.
@thefestfl.bsky.social is cool because there's just all this good nice energy concentrated in a few blocks of a college town. Just good vibes and good people listening to good music. The outside world sucks shit but it doesn't suck within these venues.

We can’t wait to hang and catch some rad bands this weekend!
See you soon!
