North American Tour Support Acts REVEALED

🫣

We’re just under two weeks from the beginning of our North American LOBES Tour, so this is a good time to introduce you to the bands who will be supporting us on these shows, so you can decide what time to book dinner reservations, what time to tell your babysitter to show up, and — this one first, probably — what time to drop your dose (of whatever!) so that it locks in HARD👹 when the music starts.

Here’s the tl;dr version, for those of your who, coincidentally, are late for a dinner reservation NOW, and your drug is about to kick in:

If you’re attending a show in PITTSBURGH, COLUMBUS, CHICAGO, MINNEAPOLIS, KANSAS CITY, DENVER, SALT LAKE CITY, PORTLAND, NASHVILLE, ATLANTA, CARRBORO, WASHINGTON DC, PHILADELPHIA, or NEW YORK, you will get the get to see, for no extra charge on top of the ticket you purchased to see us…

🤩🥳🔥Sean McVerry🔥🥳🤩

Sean is a multi-instrumental talent who has lately been wowing us in our weekly songwriting challenges. He’s well-mannered, funny, normal height, and sings like an angel. He’ll have his bandmate Zeno with him, and our own “Buddy” Keith Carne will hit drums for these sets. You should check out Sean’s music, some pictures he took, and his website.

Looks like Sean McVerry is onto you, that you took his stuff — he’s not too mad tho.

IF, on the other hand, you’re attending a show in VANCOUVER, SEATTLE, SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES, SANTA ANA, SAN DIEGO, PHOENIX, DALLAS, SAN ANTONIO, or even AUSTIN, you will get to see and hear, included in the price of your ticket…

🎸🕺🏼⚡️NEWSKI⚡️🕺🏼🎸

NEWSKI is Brett Newski, Wisconsin indie rock institution, one man nature-force. His list of musical collaborations and tour adventures are extensive, and his podcast is so important that both of us (Chris and Keith) have been on it SEPARATELY(!). This is one kind brother, and if you think he can’t blast your hair back with his solo set, you’re either very young and naïve, or you have wasted your years on this planet learning nothing⏳. It will be your mid-week pleasure to check out NEWSKI’s music, his instagram folio, and yes, his book.

You caught NEWSKI putting up the photos he took of you👀.

That’s a hell of a stable of horse meat! These boys, Sean and Brett, they're gonna stomp around every field in this great nation, and just when you think you’re mad at them for tearing hell out of your farm, you’ll realize they’ve aerated the soil, and your next crop will grow back stronger, greener, and fuller than you’d dared to hope.

What about Toronto???

We can’t answer this question in the broadest sense, but in terms of our show, we will receive musical support from neither Sean McV nor NEWSKI, but rather Ontario’s own Neon Bloom🌸. 👏👏👏

Still need tickets? Don’t remember which show you’re going to?
