Friendship Commanders' August run begins today 8/7 + Sept-Oct tour dates have been announced!
From Buick Audra:
“if you want to live, just go get started”
Hi friends!
Running out the door to begin Friendship Commanders’ August tour dates right now! The first show of our run with Crop is tonight, August 7th, in Lexington, KY! We have eight shows with them throughout the Midwest and East Coast; can’t wait!
We’ve also announced a September tour with our Magnetic Eye Records label mates, Witch Ripper, which will take us out West; we have some West Coast dates on our own, as well. Finally, we’re playing Wisconsin Doomed & Stoned in Green Bay on October 17th, and Wendigo Doom Fest in Knoxville on Halloween! All of our dates are below.
Today is also Bandcamp Friday, a great day to support independent artists, especially during this time of music and art being devalued at every turn. The reality of AI and its war on genuine creativity and creative problem-solving is upon us (I made a formal post about it on Instagram earlier this week, if you’re interested). It requires each of us to act with integrity, discernment, and in solidarity with one another. I’m doing my best; I hope you’ll join me in choosing real work made by real people!
Oh, and the writing on feminism is coming right along. More on that soon. See some of you on the road!
Take no shit, and make good work,
Buick Audra
