Man, I love that song.

And don’t forget that Dessa will be hitting the road this September supporting WHY? all over the East Coast and parts of Canada. Click the flyer below for all the sweet deetz and ticket info.
And just for fun, here’s a picture of Dessa and Aby in Times Square last week kicking it pretty hard with Animal and TWO Elmos. Incredible. Now go pre-order that EP (HERE)!
In other big show news, Doomtree will be playing a rare crew set this Saturday afternoon in celebration of the new Metro Transit Green Line in St. Paul, alongside The 4onthefloor, Koo Koo Kangaroo, Southside Desire, and Southwire. Due to the last minute nature of this party we’ll be down a couple of members (Sims is still in Europe and Papes is out in NYC), but Stef, Dessa, Cecil, Mike, and myself will be at Union Depot in full effect to ring in this sweet new mode of transportation. Click HERE for the full schedule. This thing is all ages and FREE.99, so we hope to see a bunch of you down there!
Speaking of Doomtree (SEGUE STREAK!): We just got a bunch more of the Doomtree No Kings Snapbacks in at the Webstore, right in time for the summer. Click HERE to pick one up.
Alright, that brings us to the Bonus Jam portion of the post, and I think you just miiiiiiight be able to guess what it is this week: The Parts of Speech, Re-Edited remix EP, duh! I’ll be adding a new YouTube link to the site every day at noon this week if you want to just keep popping back over here. For now we’ll start things off with that nutzo Hood Internet remix one more time for good measure.

I hope you all have a wonderful week and definitely look forward to seeing a bunch of you out in St. Paul on Saturday. Oh, and a very happy early Father’s Day to all the dads out there worldwide. Crush a brew and kick your feet up this Sunday!
