It has been quite the year for the ol' Mothball fleet. A lot of firsts: first single, first Mothblock party at a venue, first show in San Francisco. There's a lot to be grateful for and appreciate.
We couldn't have done any of this without our family and friends, who have supported us these last 2 years as we made a slow ascent into what we are as a band now (especially Marz parents, who've let us use their patio to practice for the past 2 years, thanks a bunch!!!)
We couldn't have done any of this without the fans that we've been blessed with along the way.
As we cap off this crazy-ass year that we've had, not only as a band, but just as regular people, I (Dev J) would like to thank everybody, and give everybody credit who made this dream come alive.
This is my first band, and not only that, the longest project I've perpetuated in my life so far. I couldn't have even dreamed of going out and playing with anybody else besides the fine folks I stand alongside on stage:
@anthony.moraila ,
@heyitsjust_marz , &
@devnaut . Without these folks, the Mothball Fleet would still be a shitty solo recording project I would work on while hiding in my room from the world.
I would also like to thank
@tymnus , not only for these kickass photos he took of us at the O'Reillys show, but for simply being the greatest, and graciously allowing us to hop on stage at the Empress back in March. It was a major stepping stone for us, and it is greatly appreciated.
To the bands we've played with along the way, it was an honor to share the stage with yall, especially
@fistfightwithtraffic and
@kidvenison for playing with us at the 2nd Annual Mothblock Party, and making it truly something special. I would also like to thank
@strangeculprits for all they've done for us, not only letting us hop on the bill for our first SF show, but for being great humans all around.
And lastly, thank you to
@fmcvallejo
for being the first folks to give us a stage and a chance to explore what our voice was in this musical journey,
@djsofresh_ &
@yojermz are the two coolest cats in Vallejo when it comes to anything community and music.
Thank you all ♥️
