I'd like to *officially* welcome guitarist/singer John Paul Uva to The Pities! He will be making his debut with founding drummer Ken Meyer and me this weekend at Montclair Porchfest - details elsewhere on the Pities' page.

Glad to have you on board, @jpuva.bsky.social !

"Waiting to Shine" from maybe the last show we did with Michael Carlucci - ? Miss the man so much still. His guitar illuminates this song, which I went on to record a couple years later with The Campfire Flies - Matt D.

Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd...
A special treat for those among us who: A) lived in the 20th century, B) followed the Alternative Rock Music scene in the tri-state region (especially NJ!), and c) enjoy discussions about the pronunciation of the towns of Western Massachusetts. #unclefloyd #musicsky

Matt performing a favorite Townes Van Zandt song, "You are Not Needed Now," back in 2014 at The Treehouse at 2A in the East Village, NYC. The whole show is a fun watch & listen. #musiciansky #musicsky

Check out the video for our recording of "L.A." - a song originally written and performed by the magnificent Spiral Jetty! This was done in 2023 for a WFMU DJ giveaway. It features great vocals from Renée LoBue of Elk City @elkcity.bsky.social #musicsky #musiciansky
