I’m somehow way ahead of the game today. I even made set lists! 😂

I totally forgot!

We played at the Abell Street Fair this weekend & I forgot that I had this shirt from 2012! Well, I kinda stole it from @dinamarietv ;) Either way, I should have worn it. If they have us back next year I’ll try to remember…

P.S. How is it they always have the softest shirts?! Am I right, @merriaca? taken in Abell by @truthtables

This picture that Randy took of me & Steve in the control room at Tempo House last weekend really deserved to be its own post rather than just getting buried in a carousel ;)

I have no idea what Steve was saying in this moment, but he was probably telling some sort of tale of old school Baltimore, or Steve Albini and Electrical Audio.

Maybe you all could help caption it, though. Thoughts?!

Back in the studio!

We’re at Tempo House Recording in Bmore today, with Craig & Lucas, laying down drums & bass for a new set of recordings 🤘

BTW, what does it mean that I found a dead lantern fly in the car on my way here: is that a good or a bad omen?!

Scientific fact: panoramic mode cannot handle this band. Which slide is the most cursed? 👀

Had a great time playing Circus Purpose this weekend! Here’s a clip of “Santiago” that just teases the rippin’ middle section of the song—I’m not sure you can call what I do there a “solo” 😂

Alas, many thanks to @tayl0rquinn for organizing, @currentspace for hosting, and @herschelhoover for capturing the video 🙏

At this point, our next performance will be at the Abell Street Fair at the end of September. Maybe we’ll see you there 👀 taken in Current Space by @truthtables

Step right up 🎪

James BonTempo & Truth Tables is joining the circus on 7/11 — literally. Ten acts, one ring. Not sure about the clowns.

Come through, bring people, get loud.

Had a band meeting w/TTs last night. Trying to figure out what the hell we’re doing wrong. I mean, why aren’t we famous already?! taken in Baltimore, Maryland by @truthtables

Steve likes to describe our sound as “the Sonic Youth end of Wilco”. I’m not entirely sure what that means 😂 But if you do, please explain in the comments! I think maybe this clip from our recent Ottobar show captures some of it?

When we play live there are a few places in the set where we go off into psychedelic, noise, freak-out territory. This is a snippet from one of those detours (probably the intro to “The Dream”). Come out next time & take the journey with us 🤙
