  • Yes, the last time we performed live Every year we dio in Anti Valentine's Day show.

  • We've we've kind of turned February 15th into the polar opposite of Valentine's Day because our band started with this idea I had of, you know, singles and broken hearted people have nowhere to go during the holiday.

  • So I was like, Let's cram a bunch of people into a bar and sing just the saddest, most depressing songs about heartbreak and misery And it turned out with this very cathartic amazing night.
