1) GIGANTIC shout out to Ally Bernstein, Tomboy, and Dream Conference at Wesleyan University for one of the funnest shows we’ve ever played! We also got to do a panel discussion beforehand titled, “Music, Feminism, and Cultural Production.” Pretty much the raddest.
2) In T-minus 5 hours, we will be playing with super shredders, Screaming Females, Black Wine, and Gertrude Atherton at Machines With Magnets. SO SICK!!!!!
It’s really happening! Ladyfest is coming to town! We’ve got the schedule and ticket information to prove it!

i dont want my words to be taken out of context
i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized
i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction
i dont want to live in a world where…
This will be the best.
THE.
BEST.

ANYWAY… nice work, Luis!

Aside from a horrible bout of the flu plaguing the entire van, our West Coast tour was actually pretty perfect. Great bands, great people, great shows. We couldn’t have asked for more. Plus, we got to hang with our buds, Trophy Wife!
A bunch more pics are up on our Facebook page, too!
