Perhaps the nuttiest two weeks of my life are over. I am incredibly grateful that @nicoteens asked me to fill in on drums for these 10 dates. I have learned so much about myself, went to six new states, ate three pounds of trail mix, and played 10 baller shows.
Here are some highlights:
Playing with Nicoteens in Louisville

Trying Portillo’s chocolate cake shake in Chicago

Swimming in a lake in Wisconsin 6 hours after being discharged from the ER (My medical issues will remain mysterious)
Thank you to @mrparra for housing us too!

it's been long enough... its probably time to introduce you all to the band, the incredible musicians who take the things i make on my computer and transform them into the amazing live arrangements you get to hear with your earholes 🔊

MAX - bass (she/they)
-------
keeping the low-end grooving is the one and only max kozal. a wizard in booking and management, and a rare bassist that actually uses the top 3 strings! also the band's in-house daoboys superfan ✨

COLIN - drums (he/him)
-------
keeping the band in time with metronome precision and spicy fills is colin mcellhenney! what comes out of his drum sticks is what i would call magic, although most people would refer to it as "sweat" 💦

CHRIS - lead guitar (he/him)
-------
getting busy with the guitar leads is non-other than our kramer superstar, chris galvao! the stuff that took me hours of takes to record he plays with ease, and for the love of god pls get this man a @kramerguitarsus endorsement 😭😭😭

CADE - obligatory twink (they/them)
-------
and finally the one u may or may not know, me!! i'm generally holding down the rhythm guitar and vox on stage, however that definitely switches up depending on the song. while all the songs are originally written by me, everyone brings their own spin on what we play, and it makes something thats fucking sick and that i'm incredibly proud of 🫶

we are cade earick and friends, and the fact that i get to play music with three of my best friends in the world means everything to me. thank y'all for tuning in, we'll see y'all at an upcoming show <3 taken in Somerville, Massachusetts by @colinmcedrums

In case you missed it, a new episode of Scene Support came out last week. I sat with Max Kozol at Broken String Booking, and we talked about what it really takes to keep a DIY music scene moving.

Max is a Massachusetts-based promoter, sound tech, junior talent buyer at The Middle East in Cambridge, and part of Broken String Booking. We get into Boston and Cambridge DIY, O’Brien’s Pub, Warehouse 11, tour booking, talent buying, backline chaos, burnout, band hospitality, safe spaces, and why showing up for local music still matters.

I first connected with Max while booking Meow Meow’s April tour, and honestly, I was immediately blown away by their responsiveness, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

In this clip, we talk about how we were messaging back and forth on New Year’s Eve, working through show details while most people were probably out celebrating. That kind of care and excitement says a lot about who Max is and the work they do for bands.

DIY scenes survive because of people like this: people who answer the message, build the bill, open the room, run the sound, solve the problem, and still somehow stay excited about the next show.

Listen to the full episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support wherever you stream podcasts or watch on YouTube.

This week on Scene Support, I’m talking with Max Kozol about what it actually takes to help keep a DIY music scene moving.

I met Max while booking @meowmeowband ‘s April tour and was immediately taken with her enthusiasm, professionalism, and deep commitment to DIY music. Max is a Massachusetts-based promoter, sound tech, and junior talent buyer at @mideastclub in Cambridge, with roots in booking shows for her own band and doing the behind-the-scenes work that turns scattered opportunities into real community.

We get into Boston and Cambridge DIY, @broken_string_booking , @obrienspubboston , @warehouse_xi ,tour booking, talent buying, backline chaos, burnout, band hospitality, safe spaces, and why showing up for local music still matters.

In this clip, Max talks about one of the first real challenges of becoming a promoter: learning how to book consistent shows for other people, not just her own band. She reflects on early booking experience at the short-lived Rockwood Music Hall branch near Fenway, where she had 10 or 11 shows lined up in just a couple months before the venue shut down.

It’s a great reminder that DIY booking is part passion, part problem-solving, part heartbreak, and part just keeping at it anyway.
