update/no podcast

no podcast this month. we're headlining utah youth pride so we've been busy preparing for that, but I wanted to do another little update to fill y'all in on what we're up to and how you've been helping with your support!

the obvious one you know is we were able to restock beanies thanks to y'all voting and with your support here. merch is a decent way for us to make a little extra money, but it does cost a lot up front if you don't do print on demand (which would be a much worse process for us and cost y'all a lot more) so keeping merch coming is way easier when we can rely, at least a bit on patrons.

we had 5 new songs pretty much fully tracked and in the mixing process, but just with the way we do things we've decided to build up one of those songs kind of from scratch. it's been fun though, and that's really the way we've always done stuff. just extensive demoing forever until everything feels right. we promise this kind of tedious reworking will all be worth it when y'all finally get to hear the new stuff.

we also figured out the structure and flow of a couple songs that had really been giving us some trouble, and now they're pretty collectively our favorite songs we're working on for the new record. we do most of the big tracking/practicing in a shared practice space btw that we literally use money from patreon every month to pay for. it's invaluable to have a space to go to to work on these every so often with an actual piano and acoustic drum kit. we really can't thank you enough.

things to be on the look out moving forward:

-"roll for streetwise" is a dnd music side project we did with a friend of ours, mike bachmann, and those songs will finally be out on june 7th. pretty excited about that. it was a lot of fun to make!

-casio dad is coming back to streaming! june 3rd! we haven't told anyone cos it hadn't been solidified, but j's old solo stuff as casio dad was in a sort of logistics-hell for a while and run for cover was able to help us recover and re-upload those to streaming! you're all the first to know!

-if you're a youth in utah (i think age 14-19?) we're playing there on june 3rd so see you if you are!

thanks again! i don't know if it comes across all the time, but we are incredibly grateful for all of your support! it's been a tough time around here and most of the members of the band have had to go back to working full time jobs (everyone but j was already working either full time or part time, but we've just had to tighten up) so having you all here for us at this time is amazing!
