We were honored to share the stage tonight with fellow music "lifers".
We appreciate you all for doing and for keeping on doing what you do. Loved all the music we made tonight! Appreciations to @tanglemap@goslowpoke and especially @secretcorndog for holding down time for me on drums and all the work its been to fine tune these songs! I love where we're going.
Thanks for a lovey night of tender yet still very kick ass tunes-- also appreciations for @ramtambham for supporting emerging music (aka - letting us play music) and to all who came down to listen! You rock for us so that we may rock for you.

Thar Be Still a couple pins avail and lyric zines. Dm if you want one.
Happy May! Did anybody else feel the turbulence in the air yesterday... the consensus of people I chatted with yesterday all seemed to agree--- there was some powerful energy going around with the summer-like weather, current-events weighing the minds and the pent-up left over emotions of winter seeming to be getting expressed at scale! It's got me thinking about our next FUAL! And I have a cool May inspired theme Im gonna reveal soon! In the meantime- come visit me at my last Make.shift Art Walk -- I'll be in the gallery upstairs for a bit repping my kids art walk submission - pictured here- and then head down to my sweet studio downstairs for a bittersweet goodbye.
If tonight is out for you, you can plan to come out Sat night to the Ramble Tamble where I will be playing music in a cool line up of bands- see flyer- wear earplugs

Jangly good times at the Conor Byrne last night with Chime School, TV Star, Tangle Map and yours truly on the digital decks (playlist on the last two slides). It’s fun to play out in a bar! Thank you Andy for asking me. 🙏
Next time I wanna do this with vinyl from my collection. (And yes, I do own physical copies of all but maybe two of the things I played.)

Heading up to the northwest with @chime.school next week! Looking forward to getting out of this damp weather we’ve been having here and going somewhere I can REALLY freeze my ass off!
Bellingham, WA indie rock /jangle pop duo Michael & Virginia (formerly of The Mantles), aka Tangle Map “Cut You in Two (DEMO)” single
In the early 00s, it was extremely unusual, at least for me, to buy records by mail order overseas, either due to the risky customs fees or the excessive postage costs and long waiting times. For this reason, I vividly remember the amazing 7″ single from 2009 by Bay Area garage indie pop group The Mantles, later revisited by fellow musician Ty Segall, for the still active Bay Area label Mt. St. Mtn. Precisely two ex-Mantles, the frontman and guitarist Michael, also known as Michael O., and the drummer Virginia have dropped, under the new Tangle Map alias, a couple of raw demos in which they alternate the lead vocal, both conjuring a sublimely infectious breezy, tinny, and noisy slanted jangly pop songwriting, equally scrappy and melodic, as we have become accustomed to.
