It’s true—we’ve got a few shows coming up in July! Kicking things off with some hometown pride in #Hoboken, then heading down to Alexandria, VA (just outside DC?), and back up to Lancaster, PA. Hope to see you there! #getinthevan @centripetalforce.bsky.social
Oh hi! Any #Atlanta or #Nashville folks on here? Time to break out the earplugs as Das Damen head south for the first time in, what, 30 years? Last time in ATL was with some breaking grunge band… who was that again? This time we are hitting with #BebeBuell!! #getinthevan #sst #twintone #subpop

Unfortunately, my friend has to part with his two-day VIP pass for the Dromedary Festival this weekend in Catskill. Yo La Tengo, Scrawl, Salem 66, plenty of ’80s/’90s favorites (plus some fresh faces). $72, with $10 going to a local food bank. DM me if you’re interested!

Our big weekish of rock is coming up fast! Next Thurs the 24th in #Hoboken at Sinatra Park, then the 25th in #DC at #galacticpanther, and the 26th in #LancasterPA. Timely "joke"? CEOs +1 welcome — we won’t tell HR. Oofa, I got a million of ’em but I gave them to Stephen Colbert :(

We're “live” today on @wfmu.bsky.social for the #scottwilliams show. 3:00PM . Recorded last week, then we added a few samples, replaced the rhythm section with Carole Kaye and Jim Keltner (thanks, click track),and let Yngwie Malmsteen overdub a bit. Mixed by Bob Rock. Otherwise, it’s what we played.
