what is going on in your musical life

was the show at irish whiskey bar? best we've ever sounded, somehow, even though the situation was supremely disorganized when we arrived. thank god for scene lifer and the nicest and coolest soundman i've ever met, snake

that’s the one! I never would’ve remembered the name of the bar, but who could forget Snake??
If it’s the best you ever sounded then i feel so lucky to have caught it!!

that video is great ivy, your band reminds me of Q and Not U in a way

biggest compliment on earth!!!!!

also, it's live, and i never have to post about it again https://faithvoid.bandcamp.com/album/weird-chills

whoa, this album smokes!

Sure as hell does! I posted about it last night to Bluesky (tagging Mattie natch -- are you on there, ivy?), and jamie quinn was overwhelmed in response:

"holy christ the guitar on bonehenge feels like having a fever dream under hot sand."

Anyway in honor of the combined release day F/V needs to open for Charli XCX on her forthcoming tour so you both can collectively wreck everybody.

thank you so much ned!!!! i feel hopped up on goofballs today

(i’m not on bluesky, and after my insta and fb got deleted i decided to never make a new social media account) (tho i do run the band instagram since i have so much free time on account of having no personal social media)

I can't wait to listen, big congrats ivy.!

well, it's really happening, the Cassini album is coming out on Echodelick Records on vinyl.

not to be too sentimental but it's been a dream of mine my whole life to have a record that I played on, ever since I was listening to my dad's CCR and Stones records as a little kid. Took me decades to get there, but I'm really over the moon.

thanks y'all! really really appreciate your sentiments. kind of weirdly emotional for me, more than i expected

Go with it! Feelings are good and so is achieving life goals ❤️ congrats!

As long as you keep on chooglin' all of your dreams will come true <3

thanks LL

deflatormouse - i knew from age 3 or 4 that i was going to choogle through life

Congrats. It’s been a life goal of mine as well but about to turn 45

I fucked up by doing it waaay too early in my 'career' and now I have a phobia of making anything physical that I'll never be able to get rid of.

Heez you've got time

I have personally taken 500 unsold CDs to the city dump lol

okay and I released an EP too, am quite proud of this one (in a lo-fi bedroom way)

congrats to ivy and ums on the releases, both completed and upcoming! what i heard of FAITH/VOID was awesome, i need to go back and finish listening to it
i still have boxes of CDs in the basement from my band that broke up in 2009, maybe i should rent a blimp and throw them out to the city's population
only vinyl i've been on was for playing in my friend's band where he wrote all the songs and i played exactly what he told me to. it's cool that i have that at least but it would be different to have your own project that you contributed to on vinyl.

UMS, this sounds amazing. Congrats.

My old band did some alternative distribution with some CDs. We took some to Goodwill and local NPR record sale. Left some at the counter of a local head shop.

Funny enough a couple times we ran into people that found the CD there and gave it a listen.

I am extremely looking forward to hearing this album UMS I love the Instagram preview

Ivy. your album rules ofc

Will listen to yours tonight imago

Wow!

swing by SFMOMA and pick up our new LP from the gift shop lol

what record Shakey?

really want to thank everyone for the kind words and also say that it's really cool there feels like there's a lot of energy in this thread lately and people doing cool stuff, very nice to see

It’s my 11th drummiversary! Im over thinking about where I’d be if I started as a kid like everyone else and have found satisfaction in what I’ve been able to accomplish as an adult learner. I’ve never been so persistent about anything in my life.

if you squint you can see a copy of our most recent LP in that photo: https://societyofrockets.bandcamp.com/album/tough-trip-through-paradise

Shakey: did you go to the SFMOMA Art Of Noise exhibit?

my recording project band finalized what songs are going on the next album and agreed on an album name. taking this weekend to make sure we’re 100% happy with the recordings before sending them off for mastering. so hopefully we’ll have something new out in a couple of months.

LL - I love that and I'm happy for you, it's so freeing

when I was about 8 my dad asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said that I wanted to be the bass player in Van Halen, he asked what was my backup plan and I said I didn't have one, I'm still holding out hope

the new Cassini video is up on Psychedelic Baby, we filmed this a couple years ago on ~~scary~~ golf course in the winter, kind of a black metal look, this is the most noisy/darkest track we it's edited/fucked with practice space jams

I am getting very strong FACS vibes from this, which is a very good thing IMO

I've also put out a new ep.

I'm playing my first music show since moving to Portland, put together three other acts to play short sets, but am still fearing that only 10 people will show up at a venue that holds 80. It's that math of knowing 50 people total who might come, then figure 25 might think about going, and 10 ultimately end up doing so.

we just played our record release show, the bands we booked to play with us were so fucking good and so stoked to be there even though we were playing in a hot pit/back room of a bar on a muggy 90 degree day in new york, and we played SO WELL i mean we rehearsed a lot but it was really amazing to notice how much we were clicking, and also someone ive had a crush on for forever was there and we made out after the set :) best night of my life, play music with your friends

hell yeah

xpost thank you so much djp, love facs

that's awesome ivy!!!

I'm collaborating with a vocalist that I have massive respect for and it's going well I think, just trying to generate lots of material and then pan for gold. Definitely have to quiet a little bit of imposter syndrome but all I can do is keep making things. Thinking about how I wouldn't have been ready for this until now, I learned my lesson years ago when I felt too precious about 'wasting' 'good' ideas/time and was super stressed about the end result. Now I feel much better about throwing as much at the wall as possible, and if *any* of it ends up coming out as a record I will be stoked.

that's the attitude to have
who is the singer?

xpost Christine I got (I think your first?) synth EP on Bandcamp and have really enjoyed it

i am performing solo at camp for an audience of my peers and a big bunch of 8-16 year olds in a school gym. tough room! i am prepared though and i dress-rehearsed my set last night. exactly 30 min!

tomorrow

nice, my daughter will be there, as you know

eazy i was listening to your old album a few weeks ago after accidentally figuring out one of your songs, it holds up

i'm in a bit of a creative malaise as we're waiting on external factors that will impact scheduling of our album release and trying to figure out how much promotion to bother doing. thinking about spending a lot of money on new gear to spark creativity
