i hope everyone got some rest this past week.
of course, as you may know, christmas was cancelled this year in bethlehem—there is no rest when it comes to resisting occupation, and there is no cause for celebration in the midst of a genocide. from the river to the fucking sea: free palestine, now and forever.

that being said: thanks to everyone who came and saw us at orwell a few weeks ago, sincerely. i don't have the hard number yet but i'm pretty sure we raised upwards of $1,200 for the personal care banks. there was a bootleg tape made for the gig featuring every band on the bill (except for not-so-secret low-key guests nanette) including 2 brand new terry songs that you can still grab here; all proceeds go towards the personal care bank.
 |
j-card for the bootleg tape.

we also finally got around to finishing up the tour tape re-press; it's got a new cover printed via risograph (as usual) that we think is super cute. get one of those on our bandcamp or via maraming records and they'll be shipped out once i'm back from philippines in about a week. we only made 30 and we've already sold most of them, so perhaps don't wait if you're feeling it—treehouse's side is killer and we're probably not pressing this again.

re-press j-card.

fixed a typo from the last version of this insert only to make a new one...

another month has passed us by since our last post, and we still haven't written that belated tour yarn about our october shows w/ treehouse + a million photos by kai... we've got that down below.
also: it's faith's birthday today!!!
happy birthday faith!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

TOAST:
this one was a roller coaster. before we even got there, we were taking massive damage over time from struggling to print the j-cards and labels for all the cassettes, and then driving on the 401 for 6 hours straight. first stop turbo haüs in montréal:

KAI:
our first time to driving to kingston with a car that works (it's a rental, don't get too excited). just like it did in july, playing the church rules and i wish we had something like it in toronto. trying to build a scene from literally the ground up is no small feat and no static is legitimately doing god's by trying. thanks to mikey + company for setting everything up and being the best pals.

this was maybe the craziest show we've done at home so far (maybe usurped by the one we just did)—orwell on a perfect night is getting very hard to top as far as live music goes in the city rn. the energy in that room was unbelievable and every band fucking crushed it. thanks to everyone that pitted all night, 1000xgn for coming all the way from st. catharines (peep their new EP, featuring one of my favourite songs of the year), cüm cåuldrøn (now known as tachyon) for being the sweetest ever, treehouse for being the best, and everyone that came out and fucked with us even a little bit.

feels very wild and cool to have done our first actual tour (3 days in a row out of town is the bare minimum to me imo so it COUNTS) and have it not be a bust but actually amazing.

that's all we've got for now. happy new year, we suppose... do the right thing. take care of each other. do your part (however small) in building a better future; do not forget about gaza.
love,
boxxy <3
