Doing my makeup, shooting some videos, rocking daisy headbands.

It's Wednesday, my dudes. 🪨🌼

Stringing up the B.C. Rich Mockingbird, since my metal band days a decade ago. 🎸☁️

Isn't it wild picking up something again, after all the years in-between, and feeling that experience you've acquired flow through an instrument your hands remember so well?

Time to get to work. 🌼

Celebrating a NEW #cardiacs album with their debut single and a cat.
Quite a journey since that bus on a bus, innit?

For the first (and quite possibly the last) time, I can say... it's NEW Cardiacs day.

I'm feeling a bit giddy, go kiss the big ugly shark.
We love you, Tim. 🌼

Once & always a Buckeye. My earrings are corncobs and nothing exploded this time around playing my home state (long story) #tour 🌽

We're back in Rock-chester, NY three years running tonight at the one and only Bug Jar.
Friday night, I'm thinkin' that we just might Flummox.

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!"

CARDIACS are finally releasing their long lost album. 🌼

I got all excited and learned the song already. Hope that's alright.
All snowy in the Pond. We are lucky to be here. "Woodeneye" it is. #cardiacs

Woke they read it with eyes.

Now we come to the end.
"Southern Progress in the Northwest" finishes tonight on familiar ground as we return to St. Louis for our third year in a row.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us feel so welcome in so many new places the past 2+ weeks.
It's almost ogre now.

I met Data, best birthday show ever. 🖖

We played our entire new album and multiple versions of "happy birthday" for a very special little Boise bash I'll never forget.
Thank you to Shrine Social Club for an all around fun time. Whatever happens next, it was a rocking birthday. 🪨🎈

Our first stretch of dates ended with an early one (and some @othersbynoone.bsky.social fans 📖) in Iowa last night!
It's been a journey touring the new album for the first time in so many new places, yet still running into people that already like us everywhere we go.

Travel day to Denver, CO. 🦊

It's not every day a member of The Whitest Kids U Know asks to host your show!

Sioux Falls was full of laughs thanks in no small part to Timmy Williams hosting: he even warned me against building a mountain of chairs in the middle of our set (I'd already started) 🪑

Indianapolis! I'm coming for you, along with the rest of Flummox for DAY 1 of our summer headlining tour.

For the next 2+ weeks we'll be on the road performing all the songs on our new album for the first time, including our first-ever shows in the Northwest.

@flummoxband.bsky.social for updates 🎶

A new week is here! Oh, the horrors! Or in my case, tour-rors 😱

Wednesday I'm off to explore a part of the country I've never been, to celebrate our new album "Southern Progress."
Come say hi if you live out west.
@flummoxband.bsky.social

And rest well, Black Sabbath. 🖤

We're hitting the road again in ONE WEEK, and we've used some throwback pics on some of the flyers for our journey west.
This comes from our very first shoot together, before we even announced I was in the group almost four years ago...

First gig in Indy next Wednesday

Pride Month was a big one to make it through, but it doesn't end here. 🌈

We must celebrate each day knowing our existence is something worth celebrating.
Carry that love & joy with you everywhere you go, & make it to next June for me if not yourself.

Good luck, I promise to do my best with you. 💙

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. 🌈

What an incredible legacy he leaves behind.

How's that for cat-titude? Burgling cats (not really) with Mac Sabbath in Chicago last weekend, from the final night of our national tour together.

Gonna miss this goofball, thanks for the book on the Monkees and singing about bread every night.
