Fell down a YouTube music video rabbit hole. The kids are out there making joyously noisy punk rock as good as it ever was.
Theyβre all protest songs.
Weβre still alive! Weβve been sick and busy and whatnot, but we are still alive!
Our bassists is too sick to practice today, so hereβs another festival video where he makes some lovely noise with his instrument: youtu.be/JbLy_RaLIGI?...
Finally, another festival video! This one's the "cleaned up" version, because there were children present and one of those was the drummer's kid and he doesn't want to have to explain using that kind of language when he gets home. youtu.be/btG1XMYgXLE
A new festival video less than a day since the last one?! Yes, good things can still happen in this cruel world:

It's been too long! Here's "No Kings" live at TC Summerfest '25: youtu.be/sN4G1U04eic
New video! This one's an instrumental from this years TC Summerfest: youtu.be/WGm3FnaXHLM
Experimented with minimalistic kick and toms only approach. Got repetitive with the words too. It was cathartic, like a punk rock trance. -BC
YESTERDAY!
Thanks to everyone who came out and braved the rain! We may have some videos from the performance soon.
TODAY!
TOMORROW!
A very rough drawing of a small fire with words that say Desert Fires next to it.

Weβre back on the big Summerfest stage next week! The fest runs 4-9 PM, July 19th. We play at 5:20 PM.
If youβre in Columbus, OH, head down to the Community Festival this weekend. Itβs a delightful family-friendly antifascist fest, with a great diverse music lineup, just like every year.
Weβll also be playing this one at Summerfest. If tech folks have to explain what a union is to their kids, good.
We WILL be playing this at Summerfest, but adjusting the lyrics a bit, so our peers donβt have to explain some of the words to their kiddos.
Weekday practices are the best.
At this point, I have way more lyrics than we have music. At what point do I admit Iβve just been writing poetry?
Weβre playing Tech Community Summerfest again this year! 5:20pm at McFerson Commons Park, Columbus Ohio. Itβs going to be a fun day!
Itβs got movement, itβs got video effects, itβs our fanciest video yet!
Ever since our drummer got a surdo, heβs been obsessing over βwalking around with big drumsβ music. He even made an awesome playlist to share the love: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
βNo king. No crown. No ever backing down.β
Yeah!!! Flippinβ out Friday!
We got another punk rock ripper up on the tubes! This oneβs getting fancy: youtu.be/V-8VoP-AzNQ?...
A 22β surdo (large vertical Brazilian marching bass drum) sitting on the floor in front of an electronic drum kit.
Our drummerβs wife, who is beautiful and generous to a fault, has gifted him with a surdo as an early birthday present. Itβs big. Itβs loud. Itβs portable. Itβs an absolute delight.
Weβre going to play the stage at TCC Summerfest again this year! More info coming soon.
We couldnβt make it to Porchfest today, but driving by, we hear crunchy guitar rock played on someoneβs porch and experience a distinct feeling of longing. bexley.org/events/porch...
