Well we just had so much fun this past weekend...
PRONG @ Bluebird Theater, Denver
Playing the Bluebird with Prong was a very special treat. We haven't played that room in quite some time and it was quite nostalgic to be up there in front of all those awesome MFCKRS. Thanks so much to the Bluebird staff who treated us very kindly and helped us out with everything we needed. It's great to play a club which treats bands so well. Also, thanks to Tommy Victor and PRONG for being such cool guys! They even gave us a shout out on stage which always goes a long way with the local support (we're egomaniacs, but we're local egomaniacs, haha). Big props to Gomorrah as well for setting the tone for the whole night. If you haven't seen that band, hop to it! They shred! We were fortunate enough to meet a lot of new folks at this show and were quite flattered by the numerous handshakes and requests for photos and signed merch. We love what we do and we're thankful you love it too!

Was a real hoot! It was one long ass drive, but we made good time leaving at midnight and arriving the next day around 3:00. Thanks so much to Stacy and Fred for having us and for all the help and hospitality from the Camp Jager Crew. We were told that DJ Ashaba was in the crowd too, no kidding! I ate a funnel cake the size of my head covered in Reese's peanut butter cup and snickers. Met some cool bands, made some new fans and then listened to the rough mixes of our live show at The Little Bear recorded by Evergroove studios as we took the long way to OKC (I got lost and took us an hour out of the way). We also saw a pterodactyl.
OKC
One of our favorite places to play. Spent all day at The Blue Note for their 60th anniversary party drinking beer, watching bands and eating the best ribs we've ever had. Big shout out to Turbo Wizard, Spliflifter, Klamz, You Mom, Don't Make Ghosts, Caught Stealing and our good buddies in Turbojugend Scumlahoma. It was truly an honor to be part of the event. I've said this a few times and I'll say it again...if Mr. Big ever pushes the button that makes us famous and we go on a huge world tour and he tells us we can bring any band we want, we're bringing Your Mom. They're our favorite. They're smart, hilarious and the true essence of Punk Rock. They give zero fucks and I just want to see how a crowd would respond to them.
Overall...
I'd call this trip a huge success. We are so lucky to get to do what we do and we can't wait for the next time we get to do it all again.
Thanks so much for your support!
