The All Hail Hereafter

I might be too late for tonight, but also for the future:
- pace yourself
- if you need accommodations, don't be afraid to ask
- don't compare yourself to other performers, just be you
- stay hydrated

Hope it goes/went well!

Look at this gorgeous poster Peder made for us! 🤩

Joanna gets to play a real piano and is breaking out the guitar pedals. Don't miss it!

(We are giant nerds.)

If you're a night owl and a poet who uses slant rhyme it's moonscrolling. 🌙🌃

Our drummer has a new solo project single coming out. Whether you catch the premiere or watch it tomorrow, give it a listen. We got to hear some of it at practice, and it's 🔥🤘🏻🌌.

Fun! We have a track on our upcoming album where we had to put the click at 1 beat per measure. Our cellist figured it out or at some point, but it was an alternating time signature so bizarre I didn't bother to remember it or write it down. 👀

I sympathize (I used to get pretty bad "show crash"). It takes a long time to find things that help calm you after performing, in a healthy way. Hope your show was great! Hope your sleep is great, too. (Joanna)

But one upside of being an adult is that you're allowed to go to the store and buy colored pencils and use them whenever you want to in your free time.

Ruin a song by adding the word "literally" to the title.

You Literally Oughta Know

Get yourself bandmates and friends like this. 🥰

Honored that you're part of what brought them to life. 🥰

You *could* listen to The Decline by NOFX for 18+ min
ORRRR
you could listen to "What Would You Have Me Do" by Local H and after 10+ min forget there's another 15 min of various noises and be both amused and perplexed about why you're still listening to them while you drive. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great song though. 🤘🏻

From the area, can confirm. 😬

However, Wheeling had that reputation because it was a place with lower incomes and more diversity / higher percentage of immigrants, so like a lot of similar places, in hindsight, people probably lacked the resources of the neighboring communities.

👋🏻 Yes, haha. Good luck with your recording!

I mean, what's not to love about a giant spoon. (Good for teething when the time comes.) 🥄

Haha, been there. Do you have a salad spinner? That was a favorite.

Today was probably, most likely, for real this time, our last day in the studio. Mixing tweaks are done, and now we just have to wait for the mastering edits...

Make sure you're on our mailing list so you'll hear the news first when the album is ready!

I worked on a show with Dennis DeYoung many years ago, and he told us that when his children told him how they felt about Mr. Roboto, he told them, "Mr. Robato put you through college." So... 🤷🏼‍♀️🤖

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing your finished song!

Don't know yet. Our album is about to go to second mastering revisions, but some of our mixes have like 8 versions, so... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sometimes your best isn't about productivity, it's about taking a small action so you don't get stuck.

Staying alive is success. ❤️‍🩹

We normally don't get political on the music page, but Chicago, tell them to keep the federal government out of our city!

(And also how many stars are on our flag... 🙄)

I tried to dm you, but it looks like you don't accept messages, so if you want to message me/us, please do. We're based in Chicago, but if we ever come North... 🤘🏻

We like to rock hard AND look pretty. 💅🏻

I love this! I also love weird shit, so... (Joanna)

PS - Gonna make a note to send you a link to our album when it's ready. (Different kinds of weird.)

Whatever feels the most authentic to you! Audiences pick up on posturing that comes off as fake. I used to get hung up on making eye contact, and now that I just close my eyes and feel the music people really connect with that, even though I'm usually trapped behind a piano.

Chicago: Tonight!!

Our set is gonna be wicked, don't miss it. Last chance to see us live for a bit while we finish our debut album, Friends Like These.

See you there! We're on at 9:00pm. 💙🩶

I can't find a gif of it, and I've already spent too long looking, but it reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons when Homer goes to rock and roll fantasy camp and Elvis Costello's hat blows off and he says, "oh no, my image!"
