We couldn't have asked for a better time. We had great receptions everywhere we went. A wonderful place to stay. Food. Friends. Good times.
All in all, for a first tour, and for the first time playing outside of Louisiana, it was amazing.
We'll have a little documentary of the tour coming up soon. It has a bunch of inside jokes, badass show footage, and other shenanigans for you kiddies to occupy yourselves with. More deets on that soon.
Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who made this tour possible. Friends, Girlfriends, Family, Bands, Fans, Enemies. Without you this couldn't have been possible.

Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to leave the dream of a touring band. This is most certainly not the last tour. Many more to come. This whole tour has given us a great feeling about things to come. We still have many shows lined up as you can see:
| Republic | New Orleans, Louisiana | ||
| Dragon’s Den w/ Metronome the City and Hat Talk | New Orleans, Louisiana | ||
| Zeitgiest w/ Cliff Hines. JazzFest weird showcase | New Orleans, Louisiana | ||

| Maison w/ Smiley with a Knife, A Living Soundtrack, and We the Grenada | New Orleans, Louisiana | ||
| TBA w/ Female Demand and Rabbit | New Orleans, Louisiana |
We are trying to push an album through by the end of summer. We will begin a much needed writing process that will take our sound to new levels. We've learned a lot. Spent a lot. And it was all worth it.
Thanks again everyone. I...i love you.
