First of all, we wanted to let you all know we have only two shows for October, and as it stands, for the rest of 2025. The even more dramatic part, these last two shows will be our last for the foreseeable future.
That said, I (Dylan) want to go ahead and say, when I started recording the first demoes for this project way back in 2009, all I ever expected for this, from then and even years later, was just to write some weird music that even if only made any sense to me, fulfilled some itch I couldn’t scratch. Lo and behold, it became one of the most important things I did musically, and I owe that 100% to the friends I made in
@silkypiper @tearuptheplanks @escargotwellsfargo and (from end of 2023 up to recent)
@reincarnated.duck Without them, sure, I may have been playing solo shows with backing tracks, but I promise you this never would have gone this far without them. So to them, every promoter, every venue, every band, and every person who ever believed in us, performed with us, or even just gave us a passing compliment, I want you all to know I sincerely appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, as does the rest of the band I’m sure. If you ask “why?” I only can say that after many shows and many thoughts, feelings, and having to sit with myself and acknowledge the reality of where I’m at, lately,I’ve simply just fulfilled all I could have ever wanted to with this project. I technically was looking to make NH/JH the “last” record before Dexy, Hunter, and Silky joined up with me. They breathed new life into this project, along with Ben as well, and kept it going another 6 or so years past what I had thought I’d be able to handle. There’s no shortage of love for 213 or what it’s been for me or anyone else, and I certainly mean nothing selfish in this, but I’d rather be transparent with where my heart is than let this become a chore that I begin to harbor unintentional resentment for. If you never got to see us before, please come thru to one of these last two bangers we get to be apart of. Much love forever, thank you for making the last 6 years of my life (and the band’s) just as incredible as they were chaotic. Never die, legends. ❤️
