Thank you a million times over for an AMAZING show on Friday. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like that in our city before.
Please know that this does not have to be something that happens once a year or that we have to shut an entire street down for. Support your friends bands, support their art, support their theatre. This can happen every single day if you want it to.

Thank you to Carl and CVAF for letting us curate this show. Thank you to all of our dear friends who said yes to playing. Thank you to the Merc for letting as many people in as possible and letting the rest watch from the street. Thank you to Quentin for always photographing every show ever. Lastly, thank you to all of you for coming out, and to anyone who has never been to a show before this weekend, we hope you come to more!
This city and its artists are some of the best in the world, and anyone who disputes that is not paying attention.
Love you all, see you soon 💕
