Really enjoy this audio tree session. I prefer the version of "snake" in this to the one on the album. Saw them open for Hop Along a couple years ago and made sure to take note. Wanted to see them play last year again in Boston last year but they were playing Midway cafe (a weird venue for a touring band), the ticketing website was fucked and it was sold out when we walked up. They are playing NYC this weekend at Baby's which I highly suggest but I am seeing another show :(

caught them during the deceiver tour back in 2019. I remember thinking they were good, but nothing crazy. Their current tour has shown so much improvement itâs insane. i always love seeing the same band perform a number of times over the years because you get to watch them evolve in real time. i donât know how to describe the difference other than imagine if there was a âsickââ knob on the audio equipment that they had turned up medium back in the day & now had fully cranked up. Played incredibly tight & integrated a really involved visual element (a lot of experimental video stuff).
TBH the video was cool but kind of detracted from the experience of watching them perform. I felt like the story they were trying to tell was drenched in this above it all every-direction critique of American empire via this post-ironic rendition of conspiracy-culture. donât get me wrong, it was cool and funny at points. But sometimes you can have something thatâs funny and cool & still have it subtract from the overall intended effect. Like I get it youâre very smart and very funny and youâre really showing off right now, but youâre distracting me! Youâre overloading me! Being even more honest, I should probably take my own advice on this issue LOL. I wouldnât even necessarily recommend that they change anything about the show. I guess itâs better to be doing a lot and err on the side of maximalism while saying something unique and cool than to play it safe! Sorry if this is rambling, Iâm just trying to collect my thoughts.
But yeah they played great nontheless. Had a great time, theyâre a really good band. wholeheartedly recommend. Favorite songs were: Like before you were born, horsehead, Blankenship (guess which diiv album is my favorite), brown paper bag (riff ripped straight from MBV and I loved it), raining on your pillow, doused(!)
I didnât take any pictures because I was living in the moment :^)

Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
