Some sufferplenty lore for you, I still remember at coffeehouse it was my guitar teacher that hosted the event and bro had the most to say about what me and my friend were doing. About how a career in music for our niche wasn’t possible and just generally shitting on the genre, ironic because that teacher had music out on Spotify and now I’m doing better than he ever was 🥱 js
Anyway Chicago and Indiana are closing in QUICK come hang !
Chicago November 1st w @fatherfuneral@thornskin1 and @famous.last.wxrds at @hazroom

I really don’t even know what to say right now. I tried to stay private because I don’t want anyone blamed, but the truth is everything that could’ve gone wrong did all at once.
This tour was put together on super short notice. I was originally only supposed to be a promoter and I booked the entire thing in about a week while nonstop problems kept happening behind the scenes. Venues changed, artists dropped, costs piled up, transportation fell apart, I’ve been dealing with constant stress every single day.
Me and @dedstark_ig have been trying to push through because after putting so much time and energy into this it feels like this would all be for nothing but cars have stopped working, travel situations became unsafe, at a certain point the priority became getting home safe. We had to cancel Vegas, we’ll be sitting Portland out too but these shows are still happening with or without us so please go and show love to our friends performing if u can.
As far as SF and Sacramento go we’re trying to figure out what’s realistically possible before making any final decisions. I care about music more than anything else but lately it feels like the universe is screaming at us to stop and we just won’t listen. I don’t know when to quit, I don’t know what we should or shouldn’t do. I’m scared to leave the house, I need some time to think and will hopefully have answers tomorrow but Thank you to everyone showing support and patience while we figure things out. None of this has been ideal so I’m sorry for everything and especially sorry to everyone involved.
i’ve had a lot of new experiences in the past year, but tour was life changing. i never thought this is how my life would turn out, getting to be on the road with my best friends and making new friends along the way was so incredibly special. thank you to everyone who was part of these shows for allowing me to capture them, and thank you to everyone who took the time to come out and support us. i can’t wait to do it again <3
and as always special shoutout to @sufferplenty@sppresents_ for pulling this together on his own. i’ve never met anyone with as much drive as suffer, it’s so inspiring seeing his hard work come to life
