spring shows + r.i.p. bar orwell.

we've been busy hibernating (see: slacking) after our march weekender, but we're still gonna write that post about it eventually. a lot's happened since then...

we played with picknumberthreemylord! (who came all the way up from rochester), pretty mouth (subbing in for be still) & linens @ the arcade a few weeks ago. it ruled!

in worse news, we also got word a few weeks back that bar orwell has seemingly closed for good after only a few years; fuck every landlord & property owner that obstructs what little culture we have left to hold onto in this city. some of our favourite shows as a band and as attendees have been there, and we'll miss their contribution to independent music. it's getting dire finding good venues around here but in the face of it all, we have to march on...

here's a video clip of our first show there and our third show as a band. we'll miss it dearly.

and one last thing—riotnine forever.

love,

sorry we haven't been posting much lately. between school, work, sickness, housing insecurity, and all sorts of other trash, october has been nothing short of absurd for us. we had to drop our show with hexis the day of, but we did get to play with lower automation & pretty mouth later that week (thanks to jesse for putting that together with kai).

we'll post more updates once we have the energy, but this month's run with treehouse is still a go. we're extremely excited to go on our first real tour—there may or may not be something cool cooking in time for those dates, so keep an eye out at the merch table if you make it through.
