I’m sorry I don’t have better news for you but we’ve been on an indefinite hiatus since around 2023 and there’s no signs that’s changing soon. Thank you for the support and the memory though!

#22: Back in the Line. Here is the twenty-second one of these for the song “Back in the Line” from the 2025 record “B. Hamilton.” Or it was supposed to be about that. It ended up being about John Fogerty for some reason. Thanks for reading.

I don’t think that was me. Looked up the band, the name sounds familiar but I’ve never played with any of those folks to my knowledge. Maybe I was in some sort of fugue state at the time.

Hello. This is Substack #16. It’s a long boy, and I apologize. You’re probably better off reading it on their app through the link in the bio, but maybe not because they don’t have a dark mode and apparently hate retinas. I just said that as if people are reading these. Goodbye.

Spotify asked us to record a 30 second “year in review” clip for our fans, or whoever is listening to us without necessarily enjoying it. Like inadvertently being around a dull breeze, or any form of bird. We made this and they didn’t accept it. I'm going to call the police. #bhamilton #hashtags
