i already have tickets to see cave in in philly on the 20th, but it’s a matinee(!) and if coalesce plays last i could leave early to make it back to princeton… have been wondering if i should gamble on it

squishythings.com•265 days ago

mostly cuz it would be funny

themountaingoats.bsky.social•265 days ago

I might have to come see that cave in show

squishythings.com•265 days ago

it’s gonna be reckless, but like “we’re in our 40s now” reckless. i’m so amped

thinkgov.bsky.social•265 days ago

Best of luck, it’s a long way from the UK so I won’t make it. Like your sound so will listen on Spotify.

self.agency•265 days ago

book a gig at beak and skiff next summer so i don't have to drive four hours 🙏

djoslyn.bsky.social•265 days ago

I live in the Pacific time zone, and so am disappointed in these locations! Look forward to future tours.

juliadassin.bsky.social•265 days ago

Please tour Australia again 😄 Tough for me to use tix for US shows.

themountaingoats.bsky.social•265 days ago

it is hard to make it work financially. always hoping to get back down there somehow.

juliadassin.bsky.social•265 days ago

Yeah, it’s a long way. But at your last show at The Factory I converted a good friend to your music. It was a great gig. He had never seen a crowd get so into a show.

melpemone.bsky.social•265 days ago

That Factory show *was* particularly excellent.

trivialal.bsky.social•264 days ago

I took my now wife and she was blown away by both the band and the audience!

secretchimp.bsky.social•265 days ago

Hard enough for Australian musicians to make it financially in Australia. So props to overseas acts who venture out here.

pixelatedboat.bsky.social•264 days ago

If you come I guarantee I’ll buy at least one ticket. Hope this helps 👍

nfornihilism.net•264 days ago

and i'll buy a second. we just doubled the potential profit

simon72.bsky.social•264 days ago

I came over from NZ last time for the Melbourne shows; would probably follow you around this time so that's a few more 😀

mrwatson.bsky.social•265 days ago

Feel free to tack on New Zealand if you do - be great to see you back here

nfornihilism.net•264 days ago

you guys can crash on my couch, that's sydney sorted

fumblebee.bsky.social•264 days ago

I’m so mad at myself that I missed you when you played in Norwalk. Been a fan since high school.

If you’re tempted to come back to southern CT, I’d love a do-over.

acfoltzer.net•265 days ago

well shit now I'm tempted to look up plane tickets to Bloomington. both to prove a very important point but also because I haven't been to the bird in years

thewordbird.bsky.social•265 days ago

Great idea! LFG

slideman.bsky.social•263 days ago

The place where I see the most music news & interaction is facebook. Not much here or on the birdsite.

madamehardy.bsky.social•265 days ago

Do you have a merch link that would also prove interest? I'm way in the boonies.

bacciogelato.bsky.social•263 days ago

No tour dates near me. But you did get me to check out some of your Youtube videos.

valleykid.bsky.social•265 days ago

Come to LA!

qrik.bsky.social•265 days ago

Qrik never heard of you-you before tonight... Decided to look-look up on YouTube... Not bad-bad goat-things!

kaijuhyena.bsky.social•264 days ago

They've got some awesome tracks, rat-friend!

cathygjohn.bsky.social•265 days ago

This is going to be such a fun tour, looking forward to seeing what Westerly is all about (probably quahogs)

ahoffman.bsky.social•265 days ago

Hello JD long time first time I will be attending in Evanston Illinois and can I suggest that evening playing “We Shall All Be Healed” start to finish thanks I’ll hang up and listen.

drawsforfun.bsky.social•265 days ago

I’m on the wrong coast but ‘eyyyyy when you’re in my neck of the woods

cokes.bsky.social•265 days ago

If I make it back home from Czechia in time to see you in Rhode Island does that count as traveling a great distance to see the show? 🤔

saegge.bsky.social•264 days ago

I literally never discovered a tour via hellsite but I would totally buy in in a Europe tour

stkflt.bsky.social•264 days ago

🫡 very sad I I was out of town for Wolf Trap, very happy for the second Birchmere show!

ncalcote.bsky.social•263 days ago

I sent this on to my son who is a big fan, but not on this site

waxrepli.ca•265 days ago

very happy to see the added night at the birchmere, I missed out on the first round. I'll see you there!

sheilahawk.bsky.social•265 days ago

Done! Flying out to DC for Birchmere, then working remote in DC for the week, then will take a train to Philly for the show at Mr. Smalls. (Rule of Three is a GREAT name for this leg.)

nocturnalholly.bsky.social•265 days ago

Just did, see you at the Birchmere!

lturculet.bsky.social•265 days ago

I get all my concert news on Instagram

mrericr.bsky.social•264 days ago

I’ll see you in Alexandria, Goats 🤘🏼

audleyzdarke.bsky.social•264 days ago

You are going to be at The Egg in Albany! ... when I'm in Boston.

Damn my rotten timing!

danweissmann.bsky.social•265 days ago

Done! Thanks for coming to Chicago (Evanston, even)!

underwearbeach.bsky.social•265 days ago

Brooooooo the Barrymore is five blocks from my house!

underwearbeach.bsky.social•265 days ago

Steve Earle is playing there tonight and I walked by him on the sidewalk this afternoon and was starstruck

underwearbeach.bsky.social•265 days ago

This is all to say, I’m in for the show

marbiek.bsky.social•265 days ago

Heya, not anywhere near your shows but I saw this appear on my timeline

omnisomni.bsky.social•265 days ago

Any future sw/West Coast tours?

luboo.bsky.social•265 days ago

Yes please come to LA!!!

thefiresermon.bsky.social•265 days ago

this ⬆️

reeseeree.bsky.social•265 days ago

Look I would, but I live in the opposite hemisphere

df1.bsky.social•264 days ago

Play Cleveland bro!

themountaingoats.bsky.social•264 days ago

We did, on July 26 of this year

df1.bsky.social•264 days ago

DAMMIT. Catch you next time then.

thevole.bsky.social•265 days ago

I drove to Indy (which is now kinda bittersweet) and I’m driving to Cincinnati. I have told all my friends. I have told some of my enemies. I will not request Rotten Stinking Mouthpiece again. I do reserve the right to yell “Let Wurster Sing!” and he’ll say “oh girl!” into one of his drum mics

smarka.bsky.social•264 days ago

Were you the one who requested that in Indy?

thevole.bsky.social•264 days ago

You know it, bud. I’ve been fostering the persona of “the Rotten Stinking Mouthpiece” guy for years. But it was also played last time they were in Cincinnati when I requested it on Twitter the night before, so I figured it’s time to start becoming “the Song for Roger Maris” guy.

smarka.bsky.social•264 days ago

Thanks for your service. Definitely a memorable part of the evening.

thevole.bsky.social•264 days ago

It was my pleasure! Because I got to hear Rotten Stinking Mouthpiece live again! Amused the heck out of me when he mentioned sometimes forgetting the lyrics to Fresh Tattoo, but nailing Rotten Stinking Mouthpiece, which has only been played 3 times previously since 2017.

thevole.bsky.social•265 days ago

(I’m playing the long game, I’m gonna get you to play Song For Roger Maris one of these days.)

innerpartisan.bsky.social•265 days ago

alas, i'm european 😔 but for the record (hehe), i don't think i've ever discovered any bands through "direct marketing" on twitter, and i used to be chronically addicted to the hellsite.

derrylm.bsky.social•265 days ago

Wrong country, sadly, but I certainly would have gone this route if possible.

tom.secretworld.social•265 days ago

But I already have tickets for one of the shows at the Birchmere, a short walk from home!

jamisondavies.bsky.social•265 days ago

Well, you’re not coming to NYC so that limits my options

cpi.bsky.social•265 days ago

this is the way

dariaphoebe.com•263 days ago

See you in Westerly!

ctsinclair.bsky.social•265 days ago

Would love a KC or Minneapolis stop!

Also, the website does not have a Bluesky Butterfly as an option.

helensmith.bsky.social•265 days ago

will do. thanks for ending your show in madison last time. that set was amazing

ttsci.bsky.social•265 days ago

I know y'all try to hit different places so it's not all the same, but I hope you're back in Maryland soon! The VA shows are just a little far for me but I've been to the shows at the 9:30 Club and Rams Head Baltimore and had an amazing time. If anybody is on the fence, I guarantee it will rule!

stopcallingmefrank.bsky.social•265 days ago

Thanks for doing this—and for making the point visible. I love that you’re here. I hope more of my favorite bands and artists come, too. I’d be happy to send some flash-frozen high-end steaks to Jon Wurster if he’d bring some of that old Wurster magic to Bluesky.

colettearrand.bsky.social•265 days ago

Time to convene the William Caxton Fan Club

franziamom.bsky.social•265 days ago

🤝

strngwys.bsky.social•265 days ago

For years every publication has known that twitter traffic is barely a blip. The music people probably have a bad case of Twitter Madness

joshgoldberg7.bsky.social•265 days ago

Just bought two to the Evanston show.

strifeheart.bsky.social•265 days ago

come 2 minneapolis u coward

holyshitimfucked.com•265 days ago

If history is any judge you will just keep announcing shows closer to my home when I buy tickets, but fair is fair.

lorenmichael.bsky.social•264 days ago

I also hate that the entire Magic the Gathering community—supposedly super progressive in a myriad of ways!—is still 100% devoted to the Nazi town square site

franziamom.bsky.social•265 days ago

these tickets are not yet in my area but i will share them relentlessly in order to build up enough karma to manifest Portland shows again.
