hello friends, it's me, Roddy, from the band. shouting out and high fiving the lot of you. thanks so kindly for the interest and the continued curiosity in what the 5 of us are creating. we've been doing it an awful long time. it's been a super unorthodox journey and the outcome is often too weird for the common ear. having you guys here as a soundboard for us and champions of what we do make that journey worth it. the overwhelming response regarding the tour dates and the upcoming LP is really really profound. basically it's a super cheezy sentiment but if there wasn't a you there wouldn't be an us so thanks kindly for your support. we're preparing ourselves for the upcoming onslaught (i'm not privy to violent descriptives but that seems to fit) and we're going to try and reach as many as you as we can in our process. sorry if many of you are skipped, geographically on this first go round. we'll try and fix that. we can't guarantee anything but it's honestly our intention to not leave anyone out. thanks for being understanding in this regard. we continue our trek. Billy is finishing mixing the record, we're working on artwork, MP is finishing the last couple of tracks and he's done an amazing job. truly. i can only say it sounds like us and it doesn't in the best possible way. you know what to expect and we are going to honor that expectation in the only way we know how. big big hug and we'll see you in just a little bit, Roddy C.
