Today in Outro adjacent news: our drummer, the Lucky Noam Schatz, changes his band's name to The Unlucky Shots, and still makes ridiculously good songs. We are in negotiations with the Indonesian band Outro to share global profits from our respective empires.
This week in Freak Scene, Hadley native Joshua David Thayer tells us about his new album, "So Little, Close to Nothing," and the Lucky Shots have become Unlucky through a turn of events:

2025 was the best year for the label yet. Here's a compilation of my favorite tracks.
The comp is free but if you want to put some bucks on it they all go to Maine Needs, who are doing a great job helping the folks in my immediate area who need it
