Our lovely friend Will had us on his web show Balcony TV. Check it out!
Alternative Press Premiered Our New Demo // Cassette
Hello! Today Alternative Press is streaming a demo of a new song we wrote that’s going to be on our EP. It’s acoustic right now but we’ll be playing the full band version on tour.
Also, our record Everything’s Amazing is going to be released jointly by Doghouse and Kind of Like Records. This demo is an exclusive track! Pre-orders start tomorrow and I will write a special valentine for the first 100 people who order the cassette because it’s going to be released on Feb 14th (coincidence, I swear. Sometimes planets just align). Glad I get to have 100 valentines this year instead of zero per usual.
Listen to the demo and let us know what you think!
Some Pre-Tour Thoughts
It’s incredibly easy to forget why I do this. It’s incredibly easy to get tired, worn down and exhausted at trying to pull every last thread of something that’s meaningful to you out of your brain so you can rearrange into something that makes sense in a melody. It’s incredibly easy to feel frustrated with the notes you miss, the way your hands falter when you’re nervous, the shows that are empty, the words that just don’t sound right, the line you say over and over in your head without being able to envision its counterpart, the miles you count up and up on your car like when you hit a certain number, you’ll be awarded with a purple heart and it will mean something.
But it’s even easier to remember why you do what you do because it only takes one thing: that howevermany people — even maybe just that one person — smiling ear to ear and mouthing the words to what you say as you’re saying it. That 5 minutes where neither of you are really alone.

I can’t believe Stereogum premiered this. It’s a gosh darn dream come true!
Please do myself a favor and check out this music video that Shervin, Rachel and I worked hard on. It’s 15 seconds of insanity slowed down to 4 minutes!

Drinking out of my special candy hearts mug before I get out of bed and go to practice. Ready to get ready for tour!
Anonymous asked: Do you have any idea when the show at Transitions Art Gallery in Tampa, Florida starts? As in the time? The PPTV tour isn't even listed on their website for some reason. :\ And you're the only band I'm going there to see. :3
To be honest, I don’t actually know. The stuff I’m looking at now says 6pm but I don’t know if that was the default time set by Facebook or what have you.
I’ll post times closer to the date though! Hope to see you there :)
