For my birthday this year, Friday, September 11th, I want everyone to hang out with us at Detroit’s beloved Brewery Faisan, and give them a good show before they close down for good in October. No one will be turned away for lack of funds—I just want a fun party. Hope to see you there!

This band has never had a Facebook (I deleted mine back in ‘18), and we deleted our Instagram account last February. Last year we played 25 shows, and this year we’re on track to beating that record. So if you’re worried about leaving Meta and not getting booked, I’m here to say I believe in you.

If you live in Michigan: go out and vote today in the midterm primaries if you are able! A win for Abdul El-Sayed is a defeat for AIPAC. If you aren’t registered to vote, check online to see if your polling place allows same-day registration.

It’s cool that you’re following the band, but you should also be following our guitarist @markbolohan.bsky.social because he has a killer body…of solo music, and you’ll be able to hear him open up for us with it at our Pux Taphouse concert on July 11th!

I like how not being on the popular social media platforms makes Izak a kind of speakeasy among bands. You gotta know where to find it, but, the people who know about it are loyal, returning customers cuz they know it fucking rules. Anyone can enter; you just need to know where the door is.

Cis people, consider ways you can more actively support trans people, during these times. Yes I’m including queer folks. It’s time you all get even more introspective and then actively involved. It’s time to reflect about what you are and aren’t supporting, who you are and aren’t standing up to.

We will be straight-up losing money on this single and I DO NOT CARE. Right now, making an impact is more important than making money; we’re angry and sick and tired of feeling powerless to help our trans siblings, even as our situation gets more and more dire by the day.

We’re releasing a single on June 6th. The reason this is so important is because all sales of the single on Bandcamp for the first 24 hours post-release, as well as our cut of the door and all merch sold that night, will be donated to the Transgender Law Center. Please pass this on. It means a lot.
