Munich party people, mark your calendars!
We’re finally coming back to our favorite venue @glockenbachwerkstatt !!! From our second show ever in summer 2017 up until late 2019 we played there all the time, then somehow stopped. And now we’re finally back.
This is most likely our final show of the year. We have @wesleyhoffman and friends from the US on board who just released a fantastic new album.
No pre-sale, only tickets at the door. Show up, party with us. Cheers! taken in Bürgerhaus Glockenbachwerkstatt by @wesleyhoffman

Five 1990’s alternative rock anthems that will unlock core memories. These songs were always on the radio and MTV if you grew up in the 90’s or early 2000’s!! Some of these really bring back memories or nostalgic feels!! Who did I miss? What songs similar to these do you have glued to your memories?

📻⚡️DAY THREE⚡️📻 The first ever FM Fest has come to an end, but we went out with a bang!! Thanks to everyone who showed up. Immaculate vibes all weekend. The goal was to build and strengthen the music community in St. Louis and the midwest. We did just that. I love you all.

Looking forward to what the future holds for FM Fest 👀

📻⚡️FM FEST⚡️📻 The first ever FM Fest kicks off tomorrow in St. Louis on Cherokee Street!! Two venues, 40+ bands!! This is the biggest event I’ve ever taken on. It’s taken up part of my life for the last 4 months, and it’s so cool to finally see it all come together!! I won’t lie, putting together something like this has taken a toll on me in many ways, but I know it’s all going to be for the better. I can’t wait to see what comes from this!!

It will be our album release show on Sunday @thegoldenrecordstl!! We will have copies of the album and new merch for sale all weekend. This will also be our LAST hometown show for the foreseeable future, as we set sail for The UK and Europe next month.

Please come out and show your support for not just us, but the St. Louis and midwest punk, pop punk, and emo scenes.

Looking forward to hanging with you all this weekend!!

Five indie rock bands you won’t want to miss at FM FEST!! If you’re a fan of bands like Snail Mail, Bloc Party, or Local Natives, we have a great mix of bands that will be playing FM Fest!! These bands remind me of the indie bands that were super popular in the 2010’s. Super great songwriting that will have you dancing in no time!!
