Our music video for “Pour Me” comes out 4/1! Really excited to put this out. Thank you to old friends and new friends who showed up for this - I felt so supported and loved by you all. Y’all partied, got drunk off love and music (booze and weed) really made this whole shoot hilarious and fun. Thank you to @_bellatown_ for your genius and making my visions come to life how I picture them in my head. Thank you to @sseeaalliiffee_ as well, so easy to work with you both and having made 2 music videos with you now, I realize how incredible and inspiring you both are. Feels like an honor to be able to get to work with y’all. Look out for the vid when it comes out, it’s real good and I hope you check it out.
much love,
Nik
Greetings, my lovely ones! Got some dumb cool and ugly news that I’d like you to chew on for a second, dust those chompers off and flush out those moldy ears! We’ve got a new single, coming to you Thursday 5/28. A song called All I’m Bone - a short ditty (one could say a death jingle?) to my close friend, Death and a song I also wrote in memoriam of a musician I’ve looked up to most of my life. Feeling very proud of this song and I really hope you all feel as close to it as we do. A gift from my heart to yours. We’ll talk to you more about that very soon. A small preview is there for you in the next slide. (Mixed by @angelhairaudio mastered once again by @camcamcamcamcamcamcamfrank recorded at @jackstrawculturalcenter )
One more thing, I’d like you to please welcome these mustache men to the world of Black Ends. I have had a really great time with all of them these past few months making music and writing and hanging out. I couldn’t ask for better humans to make music with. Give your scorching hellos to @karlstayshome , he drums in one of my favorite bands in the city @fleshproduce and is a truly such inspirational drummer to watch and to know. We are really happy to have him here with us and can’t wait for you all to see him play with us.
We love you, thanks for everything
also thank you to @youthriotrecords for putting our music out once again! you own us now!!!!
forever and always,

Hey, I’d like to finally and formally introduce you all to our new guitarist Tom Scully. @tomscullymusic was my favorite guitarist in the city for years and years before we somehow lucked out and he joined Black Ends at the beginning of the year. I have been a fan of him and his band @cstmrband a long while and feel honored and grateful he wanted to join us. Welcome to the band Tom, you’ve already added so much flavor and depth and energy to our live shows and our writing and I’m so excited to see what we’ll get up to. So, we are back on the fuckin’ music wagon, friends. Sorry for going ghost - things are on the up and up ‘n never been so happy. We’ve got an EP in the works with a single comin’ at ya very soon.
Once again, thanks to everyone for the love and the patience and the support and the sticking around.
Our next show 4/10 is at @orientexpresszhao - a show with comedy by @jonedehuff / we’ll be playing with @44go.band@infinitecoachella and @starr67ut
there will also be copies of the new @disposable.parts /
really looking forward to this show and looking forward to life in general. It is a privilege to be able to say that and a privilege to be able to play these shows.
See ya guys soon,
Nicolle

This post is for the merch heads!!!!
Firstly, I want to give my thanks for all the amazing shows these last couple of weeks, everyone. We’d be nothing without you and it truly has been very soul soothing to see so many new and familiar faces at our shows lately.
Secondly, (and almost most importantly) we’ve got new drip!!! FRESH AND CLEAN 4 you and you only! This may be one of my favorite designs we’ve had, ever. I say that about every shirt but I am a true sucker for long sleeves. I’m wearing mine now and it is so soft I could sleep in it. I put the link to order one in our bio!
Designed by me and @line_6_insane_mode once again/ we are the DREAM TEAM. Thanks for making them @vgkids 🖤
I will say, it’s quite expensive for shipping so if you live close I recommend you just come to a show and buy one there.
See you beauties on the flippity.
Love always,
Nicolle

We will have to overcome this hellscape someway or another. Stick together. Speak up. No time for apathy. No time for holding back. Trans lives are at risk. It is time to use your voice. Be there. Be present. Do not let THEM scare you into silence. Trans people are beautiful and bright and bring so much good to this evil evil world. Don’t fucking give up. We need to see peace in this lifetime. We need to hold on to hope. I believe in hope and believe one day our fight will pay off. That is, if we fight and fight hard to stop these disgusting power hungry evil criminals from striping us of our humanity. I am so sorry to us all. I am so sad for this world. I fucking love you all. Please hold each other tight.

Black Ends #LiveonKEXP | The Seattle DIY rock scene stalwarts @black.ends stun with their dark and brooding debut, Psychotic Spew. Strung with unnerving instrumentation and songwriting, the band's self-described gunk-pop flourishes.
Watch them perform "Red Worry" and more from the record Live on KEXP. Link in bio.

Wow, we just got the #1 spot on @seattletimes best albums of the year for Washington artists. This is such a fucking wonderful surprise. We’re included with some of my favorite Seattle bands who’ve also worked so hard this year to release some really important and beautiful music. It’s an honor to be alongside them - so much inspiration from bands/artists like @dark.chisme@ajsuede & @wolftone_@zookraught@somesurprises@tezatalks and so many more. Thank you @mrietmulder for the incredible write up and your fantastic taste in music and thank you everyone for listening to PS - it’s so heart warming to know our hard work has paid off. More to come soon. As always, we love you and thank you for supporting us and local music.

Thanks for all the love on Psychotic Spew, everyone. Really appreciate all of you who’ve listened and loved it and those of you who’ve listened and hated it with your whole gut. Music is so beautiful and we can’t wait to make more and more of it for you.
Thank you @bandcamp for making PS Album Of The Day today as well!
Our next show is October 24th @blk.ldg.sea with @thebugclubband - after that, we’re headed away on a writer’s retreat to stay on a farm for a few weeks to make more songs. Our last show of the year will be Nov 17th with @b.i.g.f.u.n and @fleshproduce at The Funhouse and then hopefully we’ll be off to tour n make more tunes!
see you around soon. Thanks again for listening 🖤
