    sorry, never updated my above post. While the sleeve is cheap, 2 songs were cut, and it was very pricey, I'm happy. I've never had a vinyl from qrates, and it was quite impressive. The record was clean, flat, and relatively quiet. As for the songs themselves, they sounded great and full. The recording is 12 years old and was done via small time studio/recording/etc, but they got excellent sound out of it on this pressing.

    The Weeks are back this month and it marks the 10 year show I saw them at.  They are playing Mercury Lounge, my favorite venue in the 10yo anniversary of Dear Bo Jackson.

    Great show.

    I get mad when I see Brooklyn Bowl and it's in Nashville...  They have played here in the actual BB, lol.

    These guys always put on a good show and are usually around to chat afterwards.  I haven't seen them now since Two Moons listening party came out.  That is a long time.

    Seeing them for the Philly show, have seem them pretty much every time they have played in Philly, including their first show which was also at King Fu Necktie. There was about 8 people there lol.

    Oh wow, what year was that?

    First time we saw them was at Mercury Lounge 10 years ago for this very album so it is pretty cool to come full circle.  

    We held the door open for them not realizing it was them at first.  Coming inside they were all at their merch booth and I got excited and said "youre the band!"  And Cyle not missing a beat says with his arms stretched out "we're the band!"  We had a good chat and have also seen them at every show since.  We have become friendly with them as they are pretty accessible most shows.

    That was June of 2012, I think they were in the midst of recording DBJ and played a handful of those songs, and I remember a few of them having working titles that changed for the album. 

    Have had nice chats with them all throughout the years. They often pop into a little record shop nearby and play acoustic the day of show if they’re in town early enough. One of my favorites was when I took my son and he sat up front, they all played to him basically the whole time.

    Ahhh that is so cool!.  Sam is great.  I gave him a Bo Jackson signed card and he was ecstatic.  

    If I knew they were doing stuff like this in NY I would take off work to see them!

    Great show in Philly this past weekend. The venue was tiny, as I mentioned above they only played that room once and it was their first time in Philly and about 10 people showed up. This time it was sold out and packed, super hot and sweaty. They played about 70 minutes which was a little short, but the venue had some other type of gathering starting at 10 so it was a hard stop. Great show, great energy, even tho Cyle was in a sling and clearly uncomfortable. I posted setlist on setlist.fm. Didn’t get to catch up with any of them to ask about new music, but did get a drum stick from Cain.

    I brought an older buddy of mine to the show.  He trusts me with music.

    I joked w Cyle about his shoulder getting hurt from skateboarding and he said "I wish it was that cool, lol".

    I did chat up w Damien and he said yes to new music.  They have a few songs .  So that's good.

    So just like the Philly show, small venue, first time we saw them too, PACKED, everyone there was a fan which was super cool.

    Damien was feeling no pain and stage dove while playing his bass!  That was pretty damn cool.

    Short setlist as seen above.  Couldn't find the Admiral or Sam afterwards to sign the setlist...

    So the setlist.  Cyle and Cain both handed them out.  Cain went to hand me a drumstick but I wanted the setlist, lol.  He gave it to someone behind me.  So after they left I jumped up on stage and grabbed Sam's off his amp.  Small venue, no security.  My buddy joked that I should have grabbed a guitar too, lol.

    Super fun show, too short though.

    Brother in the Night is becoming my fav song to hear besides Grind yr Teeth now.  I just love the energy of that song and their boogie steps when they play it.

    The opening band Carver Commodore deserves a shoutout too.  They were fantastic.

    Carver Commodore was really awesome, one of the better openers I've seen at any show recently
