playing music with friends | La Dispute | and to the glorious past

This Friday

09/01/2010 § 3 Comments

We haven’t played a show in a very long time. Please come hang with us this weekend. Yes.

RSVP here and please invite a friend or two.

Our buddies in The Fall of Troy played in Grand Rapids tonight, and we had the wonderful opportunity to hang out with them for awhile before and after the show. Good times were had by all. They played an abridged La Dispute cover (Such Small Hands for those of you asking) and Jordan helped out with some vocals on the last song. This is their farewell tour, and we’re bummed to see them go.

No matter what your feelings are towards TFOT as a band, they are a great group of guys, and amazing friends. We’re very fortunate to have met all of them.

So Andrew, Thomas, and Frank:

Rest in peace fellas, we love you. Amazing show tonight. We had a blast.

post tour thank-you’s

thanks once again to everyone who made the last 3 weeks so enjoyable. thanks to all our new friends, old acquaintances, folks who came to a show, folks who set up a show, anyone who said a kind word, drove a long distance, or let us sleep on their floor. it really does mean the world, and we appreciate it more than you know.

it would be near impossible to mention everyone, but I attempted a list of sorts. again, this doesn’t even come close to thanking all of you, but here’s what my fatigued brain came up with.

All the good looking dudes in Pianos Become The Teeth
Mr. Will Evans at Emo’s
