Free (practice) show! This Friday at Radio South in Austin at 8PM. Any Kind will be opening, and we'll be trying out a bunch of songs we may or may not be playing on our upcoming European tour. We promise to know some songs by then. We hope. (EL)

Delicious and nutritious @shearwaterband.bsky.social show at rough trade Rockefeller center (?!?!). Emily Lee managed to continue her unbroken streak of saving the day and Jonathan Meiburg was so good. Took a friend who had never heard of the and he was loving it. Thanks for being a good band.

So a thing I rarely mention is that I run a discord server for fans of @shearwaterband.bsky.social and as of tonight that discord came together to fund 2 acoustic house concerts for our membership and by doing so, significantly contributed to their European tour being able to happen.

The members of the SW fan discord are working on crowd-crowdfunding some JM solo(?) house shows in the US - we are most of the way there on shows in the Bay Area and Detroit and almost halfway to sponsoring one in the Northeast.

G'morning! These days it is much harder and more expensive for a rock band to mount a tour than it was for my fictional bands in Butterfly on a Wheel. If you want to help not one but TWO awesome bands get on the road and reach their fans with live music, please check out this post by Shearwater!

Snapped up ticket to see these bands together, but this is a quite eye-opening blog/appeal on how much they need to crowdfund to break even. I’m beginning to suspect capitalism may have some flaws

Shearwater @shearwaterband.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

We're over 1/3 of the way to our fundraising goal! And we are about to roll out a new US/UK house show incentive.. it's pricey (as it's designed for major funders and you can get JM to basically play anywhere...)

My favorite two bands of the last decade are trying to put on a small tour. They explain here why the only way to make it feasible is to be sponsored by Fractured Atlas and to operate, essentially, as a small arts non-profit.
