Just put together this poster for the next W/C show. We haven’t played since November, and the Haymarket is a new all ages spot, so why not come out? EDIT: THIS SHOW IS ON THE 18TH, NOT THE 20TH

My band is playing a free show in Louisville tomorrow night to celebrate the recent release of our LP. It starts at 8, and we are the only band playing. If you live outside of Louisville and want to buy the LP, you can buy it here and here. Hope to see some familiar faces!

Touché Amoré Fall tour shirt Pretty pleased with this. Totally different process than what I usually do. It was pretty challenging, but I had a ton of fun making it.

Thanks everyone who came to the show last night. Next up is the PUNCH show next tuesday. Solidarity is a really cool space and is walking distance from everything in the highlands. If you live in/around Louisville, come hang out!
