Only three 4 seeds have made the E8: Portland Tea, Lville Arrow, and Mission Arc.

Only Mission Arc got to the F4.

@aatgoosepod.bsky.social amazing podcast here with @peteranspach.bsky.social inre Goose’s last year. Tons of tasty tidbits. Here’s some of my thoughts as i make my through the podcast.
1) Bob Weir shout-out is special in that I think Pete’s approach to his rhythm playing is very Bob-like.

I’ve never understood people who make this whole live music thing a competition between β€œmy band” vs. β€œyour band.” Good clip from @peteranspach.bsky.social on this from yesterday’s pod.
