    hmmm Geese more guitar heavy, almost post-punk. last album was a little different but still more guitar driven than Heavy Metal. Winter is lead vocalist though so if the vocals are off-putting not sure you’ll dig Geese. the live album is really good. that’s their wheelhouse.

    that Omni album from last year was sooooo good and I feel like it was criminally underrated

    sunrise hike in the Phoenix Mountains Preserve. Dbacks vs Phillies. Mexican meal. Then Omni. Then drive home and go to work dead tired the next morning. Sounds like a good time to me

    new Cola single features Ben Stidworthy playing Uilleann pipes, which I'd never even heard of but think sound awesome

    Incredible show. But holy shit did I feel old. Definitely wasn’t the oldest one there but the crowd skewed very young. Largest underage section I can remember ever being at this venue. Flip side was there was no line at the bar and I was able to sit on the bleachers the entire show.

    I went last year. It doesn't skew a particularly young crowd. Shit, I stood next to Ken Jennings last year vibing out to Vampire Weekend. I just figure the people opting to see Momma and Wishy during their set times might be younger. That's alright with me. Should be a blast.

    Kevin Krauter was at IU when I was there so he’s gotta be early 30s. The others are younger though

    Edit: oh you meant momma, nevermind. Yeah they’re young.

    and the title track is top tier for me. I really like the whole thing but I'm pretty biased at this point

    Oh it won’t stop me. Just a general observation.

    I can go to see James McMurtry to feel young. Even at 35 I’m definitely on the young side there for awhile yet.

    I did not know how bad I needed an indie 80s synth/funk rock album until I heard these guys when doing an ACL fest undercard scan. Really fun album. “Teacher” is a jam

    Momma is so popular that they moved the time slot of Julien baker and Torres and kilby because people were mad they were playing at the same time as Momma
