Tickets On Sale for U.S.–Canada

Secure your spot now, if you want.

In case you’re the type of person who doesn't read email subjects (my cousin is like this! He also doesn’t read the first three steps of recipes, the last chapter of novels, nor the minute hand of his watch) — you can now buy tickets for our 2023 North American LOBES tour, which spans some of the farthest reaches of the continental United States, plus a couple of the nearest reaches of Canada.

We did not do the hard work of including links for each individual club’s ticketing page because fuck that. This life is precious, and so, so short, even when you’re lucky. There’s no time for link pasting. The show listings on our website and on songkick have links, and of course you can always use Google, Bing Search, or ObamaCare to hunt down the relevant venue and receive a URL hotlink🌭.

We hope you’re all well, avoiding despair and the bubonic plague. If you do find yourself sagging into melancholy, please remember that music is a source of raw unmitigated ecstatic joy, the finest thing most people will ever experience, and is available to you all hours of the day pretty much free. This is an unfathomable miracle and a paradox, considering how unjust is nearly every other aspect of life on Earth. Use it and abuse it. There is no limit.

Looking forward to our next meeting with you — may it arrive quickly and then go on for hours, hours and hours.
