a new Great Deceivers song is streaming over at Post-Trash, and we'll be releasing a new tape on 5/11 via Sooper Records.

thank you SO much to everyone who threw me a few bucks in the last few days. very glad to say I'm no longer in the red. y'all are amazing, for real! Chicago show tomorrow at Aux Arts, mary is printing a few shirts from some leftover blanks, and there are 7 copies left of maxed out on cassette.

got a bunch of local shows coming up in the next month before I hit the road with Nnamdi Ogbonnaya again. all dates are on the "live" tab.

hey everyone,
the shirts and tapes I brought on this most recent tour, as well as the money I made from what I did sell, was all lost in pittsburgh.
if anybody is interested in a download of maxed out - paypal me whatever you want to optionstheband@gmail.com (send to family and friends so it goes straight to me) and I will send you a download code.
I also am releasing a newish thing called Besides on my personal bandcamp - it’s a collection of a few unreleased tunes I put out last November to benefit the Water Protectors at Standing Rock. until further notice, any money donated will go to helping me recoup this loss.
we’ll be playing Nashville tonight, St Louis tomorrow, and Champaign, Chicago, and Kalamazoo in days after. hope to see some of y’all out there, and thanks for taking the time to read this.
