Amazing night at the @arroyosecodelic Photo Exhibition in Highland Park. Huge thanks to @weirdo_music_forever@edwardcolver@gusmanoc & @moryork gallery for a beautifully subversive event. It was wonderful to showcase so much gritty, raw and sometimes controversial work. See you all at Arroyo Secodelic on Memorial Day weekend.
Also a very special thanks to @rosachezzy@baby_blue_2_@dractoria for your help with this event 🥰
After 11 wonderful years performing as Acid Tongue, I’ve decided to finally close this chapter in my life. So it goes. I’ve been fortunate enough to record and tour with dozens of brilliant musicians, creating an ever-evolving sound and live experience. We’ve release five albums, four EPs, and performed in 22 countries. We played to rooms of 6 people, and to festival crowds of 6,000. And we put the same energy into every show.
My friend Ian and I started this band in my old Seattle basement. It was halftime during Super Bowl XLIX and we wanted to jam and try something different. Our first EP came out a few months later and we were traveling abroad within a year. I wrote countless songs about romance, dreams, death and drug use, reflecting on many complicated themes that have defined my life over the past two decades. It has been an incredible outlet for the joy and pain I’ve experienced.
I’ll be pursuing new projects for my creativity. Different mediums and new experiences. I will not stop releasing music. Expect some songs under my own name in the coming year, maybe I’ll form another project down the road…
I’ll be performing my final shows as Acid Tongue over the next few months. Here’s what I’ve got planned:
4.25 - Ensenada MX - La Capilla
5.2 - Toronto CA - Project Nowhere Festival
5.24 - Los Angeles - Arroyo Secodelic Festival
6.29 - Santander ES - Rock Beer de New
6.30 - Sopelana ES - La Atalaia de Gardoki
7.1 - Limoges FR - Petit Jordan
7.2 - Rennes FR - Bistro de la Cité
7.3 - Saint-Germain-sur-Ille FR - Coucou Festival
7.4 - Douarnenez FR - Le Pavé
7.5 - Orleans FR - Chez Les Jacquin
7.8 - Pau FR - Le Pingouin Alternatif
7.9 - Seignosse FR - Spot Palace
7.10 - Oviedo FR - Kuivi Almacenes
7.11 - Guimarães PT - Rock in Barco Festival
7.12 - Madrid ES - Wurlitzer Ballroom
Thank you to all the fans, promoters, labels and musicians that have made Acid Tongue what it is today. Thanks to Ian for starting something really cool with me when we were a couple of clueless twenty-somethings. Thanks for listening, everybody.
