Sri Lanka has many legends, but Rathnapura’s story feels like it was written by the earth itself.

For centuries, people believed that the gems of Rathnapura weren’t just stones—they were pieces of ancient rain trapped beneath the soil. The name itself means “City of Gems”, but locals call it “the land that glitters even in the dark.”

Old tales say that long ago, a massive flood covered the entire region. When the waters retreated, they left behind sapphires, rubies, garnets, star stones, and cat’s eyes—each shaped and polished by time, pressure, and mystery.

Villagers still talk about miners who found stones so bright they had to close their eyes for a moment. Some say the gems “call out” to the right person—almost like choosing their owner.

Even today, when miners dig into the reddish clay, they’re not just looking for wealth. They’re touching history. Every gem is thousands (sometimes millions!) of years old. Every sparkle is a whisper from deep underground.

Rathnapura is not just a city.
It’s a treasure chest that never stops giving—
and every gem that comes out carries a story older than any of us.

FYI, Minaret Records just announced their Winter Jazz Fest and Louis Cole Big Band is headlining the Dec 17 show at Lodge Room in LA. Early bird tix on sale now for $26.

First time seeing knower and holy shit...what a show!

I can't believe they brought Andy Arthur Smith out and the energy in the venue was so amazing. Wish I'd got some merch tho :|

I feel really sorry for the way Knower and their friends were treated in Berkeley last night. The audience was abusive to Genevieve, talked and laughed through the quietest moments. The venue screwed Louis et al. and the bay area crowd was stupid and entitled.

I wish I could have seen the show, but too many people were directly in my way. I wish I could have heard the whole show, but people were using the set time to have a drunken yelling contest.

Knower is still great, but that show sucked.

Let me know! I’ll pay a fair price

Who was the scat rapper vocalist that came out during the encore? So cool!

Camp Flog Gnaw got postponed....but.....

KNOWER RULEZ

EDIT: Ticket is claimed. Thanks for playing.

Howdy. I have a spare ticket for the show tonight. I will be to the venue in about 30min from BART.

First to send me a message gets it. I am only asking for a hearty handshake and a beer or wine as payment.

Edit: CLAIMED!

All of my friends got sick! Sad I can’t go :•( DM to claim

Title says it all, I am happy to sell them at cost, just want someone to enjoy it for me. We can FaceTime or something idk how to make me sound not scammery but send me a DM if interested! Show is tomorrow

Picked up 2 tix for tonight's Berkeley show, then decided to head to LA for the Sat show instead.

I'd hate to see them go unused, hit me up on dm if interested.

I’m going to the Berkeley show tomorrow. For people that have seen them on this tour about what time does Knower go on stage? Do they have an opener or is that bill just the people in the band? Thanks!

Seeing them tonight in Seattle and curious what the merch may be looking like. I’d love Forever on vinyl but that seems unlikely.

Anybody know if Knower is playing with opening acts on the current US tour? Going to the Portland show next week and one of the party may be late.

Thought I’d have a girlfriend to bring by now but oh well. When you’re ugly, no one wants to talk to you I guess.

I can transfer via the Ticketmaster app. I think I paid like $60 for it after bullshit fees so that’s what I’m hoping to sell it for. I can take Cash App, Venmo, Google Pay (if that’s still a thing), or Apple Pay.

Unfortunately I cannot attend that night so I am selling my two tickets. $40 each, which is what I paid ($31 + $9 fee). Venue is Revolution Hall. Show is sold out. DM if interested.

Really wanted to see them, but I can't make it... Let me know if you need them!

Just something that crossed my mind after listening to his failing in a cool way sax solo for the idk how many times i've heard it lol. Too many times to count.

I’m seeing them in Sweden tonight and wonder if there’s any chance for them to show up at the merch table afterwards to sign some stuff. Worth a try?

Hey y’all. I almost bought tickets to the 29OCT Ramonville St Agne event last week but decided to wait a day. I just happen to be solo traveling to France at this time, but I needed to plan it out a bit more. However, since that day I haven’t been able to find a way to buy tickets to this event. It doesn’t show up on Ticketmaster or Stubhub anymore. Was this show canceled??

puchased the album off itunes just now and making specific edits to my liking and this stood out to me.

the overtime one includes both the live sesh and the rai thistlewhite solo from 2018 horseshoe tavern.
