last shows of 2026 + boxxy turns 4.

the east coast was lovely; we're trying to go back as soon as we can. thanks to everyone who saw us, housed us, and otherwise helped make the trip so fun & memorable. <3

 

it's bandcamp friday today, so we're having a small sale: all remaining "black metal" shirts (sizes l–3xl) are 60% off, and 7"s have been lowered to $5 to make way for new stuff.

any orders placed today will come packaged with a tape of our live set for met radio that we recorded earlier this year; you can also send $15–20 via paypal to boxxy416@gmail.com or propose trade offers (tapes you've made, drawings you've drawn, recipes you like, etc.) if you'd like to order one separately. bartering strongly encouraged.

also of note: this band turns 4 years old today (finally eligible for kindergarten), so happy birthday to us... it's been real. we hope we've brought honour & dignity to the great city of tkaronto, and the lineage from which we spring. next year is gonna be the best one yet.

we've got a couple more gigs before we call it on 2026.

upcoming shows:

• october 3rd @ brandi's kitchen and bar (brantford) for poserfest, night 3/3 w/ tantrum, fun; again, banezean, mechanical canine, absolute losers, jim's plumbing, airgun, elementals & wiener kebab (doors @ 5 p.m./all ages/$20/p.w.y.c.)

stand & stare.

kai & kenley are booking a mini-fest at saint stephen's next month. we're playing the side room with computer science (montréal, first toronto show), insomniak, eric spinelli (montréal) & siamese connection. as for the main room: the almighty life are back after a crazy set at NFF last year, along with ultra love's first toronto appearance, boston's heaven through violence (members of ...and its name was epyon), searing, and our good friends in and always. none of the sets in either room will overlap with each other, so you can see every single band for $50 if you so desire. it's $25 for our room & $35 for the main room otherwise. you can buy advance tickets here.

our hard luck show was very fun—thanks to everyone who came and to febuary & airgun for being swell. we still have some posters leftover from that gig for sale here for anybody interested.

our show with our wits at the rat's nest is in a little over a week. it's a very small space, so grab a ticket here if you're trying to be there. we might be playing a new song from that LP we keep talking about writing & recording...

if that date doesn't work for you for whatever reason, we've also got a gig coming up at the arcade the weekend after. it's a fundraiser for jazz to help her clear some debts: it'd be great to see you there.

that's all for now. hope the winter blues isn't getting you too down.

love,

boxxy
