It’s June and that means tour!The first show on our upcoming European tour will be at Eldorado in Nordenham, Germany, June 19! 7:00pm doors, 7:30pm music, gratis entry!

Absolutely thrilled to be playing @supernovaska.bsky.social in September!!

We thought that was hilarious too. We joked after that whenever we back someone we should do it under that name instead of our own.

One of the most remarkable moments in EST history. So much fun working with Sister Nancy!
