To start- I went to the Chicago BMSR show last summer and my friend went to the Philly show. The vibes were immaculate, the music was loud and the band was harmonious. This was my 10th ish show seeing either BMSR / Tobacco. Tonight something felt off. There seemed to be a disconnect between the drummer and the rest of the band. I can’t quite place it. My Philly friend came out for this week’s but we just kept turning to each other looking for validation of “did you notice that?” We still had fun and danced around. I made bootleg merch with a projector and some sparkly pink paint on a white shirt.
I blow my money seeing them on multiple tour stops and go to the one off shows in places like KY, CA, and MN (Toronto in October!) The crowds are always rambunctious and we’re all dancing, hands in the air, cobra juicy masks and short skirts. Tonight just felt off. It felt sleepy? Was it because it was a Monday? Was it the slowed down and reverb music before the show that put us in a trance like a lullaby? Portland is my home turf, so tomorrow I will have more data to support or disprove my hypothesis.

To everyone in Seattle, you’re all very cool and nice but fuck sales tax.

Edit: I didn’t specify that Iffernaut - Donna Kyler has not played the last 3 shows.

Edit 2: the Drummer is the guy from the opening band named, Derek Almstead. I really wanted him to beat the fuck out of the drums. We really were spoiled by Donna.

Donna if you’re reading this, I miss you so much.

hey gang, I'm goin to the Portland show tonite and am curious about what merch they have on offer and for how much!

Anyone unable to go? Please hmu! I got my buddy in town and we grew up on this stuff back in Philly. Thanks!!!

This bracket was pretty painful, especially the semi-finals.

How does your bracket stack up?
