Having a great time in Austin Texas. Of course it’s not the same as it used to be, almost nothing is. Scooters help a lot. Rock and roll helped a lot. Then we found the Germans and that was great. Down for one more night.
Marijuana Deathsquads will play Marlow at 11:50pm tonight (Tuesday)

Extremely psyched to be playing our 7th album release show. Polica has meant the world to me for 14 years. Love this squad so much. Big love to my friends @thisispolica #BenIvascu @cbierden@arsononly@dealdrugger
Congratulations to the good homies in @thisispolica on their lucky number 7th album, DREAMS GO. This summer, they invited me to the video shoot for “Wasted Me” at @acmestage here in Minneapolis and afterwards I interviewed all the collaborating artists. It was a huge production and everybody got properly soaked as you can see in this still photograph. Link in bio for my scene report.
Absolutely sick few days in León, Mexico and Chicago with the @circuitdesyeux squad. We got to play in an old concrete cock fighting arena, and a rad Chicago DIY space. Mexico rules. Seeing @andrewswant rules.
Abolish ICE forever
South Arm Knife Lake - September 2025
Stellar 2-piece trip with @sarahbfoot & Bertie. Heard the news this week while barely dialing in the Packer game on Thursday night. Covered 10 lakes and about 35 miles of adventure. Still can’t get enough of the bwca
