We played a set of mostly new songs tonight at Ben’s goodbye show and I think it went really well! Definitely the best we’ve played first-time songs yet. Tomorrow (or I guess technically today) we’re recording all of them plus a Watercolor Paintings cover for a split tape we’re doing with Falsetto Boy. I think we decided to title the split “Buzz Ballads”. I’m really excited for it.

It might be the Dr Pepper talking, but I’m feeling super emotional right now. Playing in Porches one last time tonight has really made me think about how temporary shit is. And how lucky I’ve been to be able to play so much music with so many incredible friends.

uhhh…. goodnight!

I’ve been so lucky to have been part of the band called Porches for the past several years. Ben has been a such a huge influence on me as a musician, as a writer, and as a person. He’s moving next month to go to school in New Jersey, which is sad and rad.

We’re playing one more show before he moves THIS TUESDAY in the back of Lawn Gnome Bookstore. It’s a goodbye party for Ben and It’s also the release of the most recent Porches album, so don’t miss it! Click the photo for the facebook event with more info.
