how to use this website _{^{(click to open)}}

this website is sorted into different sections and subsections. navigation is achieved through very obvious buttons and less obvious drop-down menus. the main navigation row includes the following:

travelogue: your main hub for any new, important information about the band and other stuff. you should try to think of it as a mix between a zine archive and a bulletin board. _{^{(go here first!)}}

catalogue: things you can buy to support this project.

concerts: learn about any upcoming shows, explore the archive.

listen: a showcase of my discography from new to old, records i helped with, and some really great stuff my friends made.

contact: eponymous. reach out to say hi, ask questions, or book me and/or my friends to play at your birthday party.

the band:

left to right it goes me, josh, and justin. we play louder versions of the songs i wrote, as well as a few covers. it’s also kind of a documentary project? visit the travelogue to read/watch stuff, or stop by the contact page to invite us to your house.

please don’t distribute content hosted on this website without contacting me first.
i know that’s a pain, but there’s a 99% chance i’m cool with it if you just ask!
