Ten years ago, today – we played the first ever Others by No One show. 📖

Thank you to Native Construct for having us, Conner from Haken for telling us we played too fast – and to you, for continuing to read.

As Max said before we began:
"Welcome to the weird progressive spectacle of the century!"

The first stretch of @flummoxband.bsky.social new album tour dates ended with meeting some ObNO fans in Iowa last night!

FLUMMOX keeps a song from "Book II" in rotation and have been opening with it throughout the tour.
Come say hey and mention the Book band, we'll add it to the set. 📚📚

One book, three songs, eight years now. 📖

This little time machine dropped in 2017 and will forever be close to our hearts as it traverses even more memories in times to come.

As always, thank you for continuing to read, and now more than ever: don't judge a Book by its cover. 🌈

Playing a little "Book I" at one of the neatest venues around, Kentucky's Planet of the Tapes 📼

...while "The Neverending Story" plays in the background
(you know the scene 🐴😢)

We played 100 gecs at our last show before COVID, and also don't think too much about how this was five years ago already.

"I might go and throw my phone into the lake, yeah" 💨🦎

Watch us gec here, it's actually the only footage we have from this last show with this lineup.

It's been a decade since we finally jumped into making ObNO our main focus - then known as "Unicorn Drama" - after a solid year of writing weird music together.

Six months in we played our first gig with Native Construct: and began diving into our first Book.

Thank you for continuing to read. 📖

Happy Valen-times. 💘
If you're reading this, you're at least a little loved today. 📚

icymi we have lots of love songs for such an occasion, but they're also all pretty long so we understand.

"Every night, you and me, we'd sit under the stars
And wonder why we are not going far" 🌟

You made it through January.
If you don't hear it anywhere else today, know the Book band is proud. 📖

That being said: AHHHHHH!
We are still here.
This pic is from our first time ever playing "A Reverie to Quell the Giants" onstage!

"And on we drive, they cannot stop us with hearts alive." 📚

Heavy is the book that has the words.
