Graphic of JER sitting on a staircase, they’re in color while the background is black and white. Their leg extends out to a solid black bar to the left of the image that says second pressing. Between them and that is the smoke red vinyl halfway out of the vinyl. Above them is the word mark for the record death of the heart. Below them is a wow bubble that says “out now via bad time records” in it and at the bottom is a link that says www.badtimerecords.com

Hi friends!

We got leftover tune it out shirts from our last tour! Lots of unexpected expenses came up both from our tour and within my own life, and would be cool if folks grabbed a shirt to help support!

photo of JER standing outside. The sun is peaking through the foliage behind them. They’re holding up the front of their tune it out shirt, and the fisheye points down on them. They’re wearing a black headpiece and sunglasses, looking up to the left (their right)

The tune it out shirt is black with a red, yellow, and white design. The design is vintage technology like. An old computer, alarm clock, phone camcorder, etc all arranged with the text “the way you tune it out” in the top left corner

Under the shirt is the name JER followed by the text reading “the way you tune it out tee”

Unfortunate news

ICYMI on insta, the JER band has to drop off our shows in Dallas, Austin, and New Orleans :(

Touring is hard, and volatile. It’s just not financially possible for me to swing these dates. I promise I’ll be back asap! Already working on next year!

Black and white JER prefers flyer with text over the front that says “sorry Texas & Nola friends :(“

Notes all screen shot that reads

Hi internet

This is not a decision I wanted to have to make, but the JER band has to drop off of our upcoming pre-fest shows in Austin, Dallas, and New Orleans.

Full transparency: touring is hard and rigorous work. It’s already incredibly volatile as is, and I’ve had a lot of unexpected expenses come up from the last tour, traveling out to Japan, and in my personal life that has exhausted any financial ability to make traveling out to Texas for these shows impossible.

Notes app screenshot that reads

This was a hard decision to make. A lot of love and work went into making these shows possible, but I fear forcing these shows to happen would truly leave me in a spot that could jeopardize my future of being able to play music at all. At the end of the day, I am one person and the financial outcome of how each tour turns out falls on me.

I am sorry to the fans in Austin, Dallas, and New Orleans. I promise we are already working on getting back through those areas on future tours. I never thought I would get to a position where I have to drop off shows but it’s just not on the cards right now. I’m working as hard as I can to make sure this doesn’t happen again!

Notes app screenshot that reads

We are still playing FEST in Gainesville, as well as No Earbuds in Los Angeles. If you’d like to support and help us solidify being able to play those shows, as well as plan future shows, consider joining the skatune network Patreon and buying some JER or skatune merch from our website! Both help tremendously!

I love you all. I promise I’ll be back soon, Texas and NOLA friends!!! PLEASE still ride out to support all the other bands playing. omnigone, joystick, and hell beach are all INCREDIBLE bands. Ride out and show support for the show!!!

Me living my entire life with fucked up sleep schedule I could never break and then having jet lag just makes me feel normal. Like yeah I gotta be 13 hours away from home to finally feel tired by 9pm and awake at 7am like this is what normal people feel like ALL THE TIME?!

This thread is why I am always screaming about putting money DIRECTLY INTO THE POCKETS OF YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS.
Yes, you can stream their music. It's the world we live in. But you have to understand that every day that you *just* stream their music only helps the service and NOT THE ARTIST

Hi yall
Full transparency, I talk about how I don’t tour internationally cause of all the cost of touring
Even when most of our cost are covered, unexpected shit like our plane detouring 12 hours to SFO makes us have to rebook trains and lodging
We threw shirts up, help if you can
