Last week Welch took you back to his ska band days, so I figured I should do the same with my punk band, Langlee. The first half of my senior year of High School marked an all time low for … Continue reading
GFMD and the Blastoids
There’s a line in the 2nd verse of Elbows and Eyesockets that goes: Girls like you are the reason I joined a ska band in High School. So for a Throw Back Thursday post, I figured I’d explain that line a little bit. … Continue reading

“O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world That has such people in’t!”
Since Penn has been keeping everyone up to date on the tour I figured I should probably weigh in a little bit. And rather than retelling all the information you’ve already read, I figured I’d talk in more broad strokes … Continue reading

“All is fair in love and tour”: Globehoppers, Richmond, St. Elmo’s, Alexandria; this is Virgina
So, when I awoke in Raleigh two days ago I felt like I was dying. Granted, I knew my allergies would be rough in this particular time of year, I felt some sort of sinus infection brewing inside my face. … Continue reading
Raleightown
Yesterday was great. We spent the day jamming, practicing and writing and the night running around the city. While in downtown Raleigh we almost stormed the state house with a bunch of protestors. We weren’t too sure what they were … Continue reading
“It’s not too early to give up now”: Turntable, Jamestown, NC
Turntable was a good idea. The owners of the venue are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, truly supportive and encouraging. Unfortunately no one really showed up to the show, we’re going to blame that on Mother’s Day. … Continue reading
