Hell yeah @teenagetompetties.bsky.social @safesuburban.bsky.social !

And then the TTP in Part 2! Good news after good news!

I spy some Lone Striker! @rosyoverdrive.com giving me some warm feelings.

Four pretty special days.

It worked. We are London bound.

Last show of our small run tonight.

Going to see if I can improve on my next-level stage work from last night: "It's my big brother's birthday today. Can you guess who's older?"

Love this write up from @addtowantlist.bsky.social

Three bandcamp plays so far. It's a ripper 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social
