She’s gone. I couldn’t make it home in time to see her. But I FaceTimed before the show. She died as we walked off stage. It felt strangely connected to the songs we played.. the time has come, fly away another day.. ending w finally moving, she finally moved on during that one.

We ended our first set on Monday at 9:39.. 2 minutes before that, all my gear stopped working, like in a way I’d never seen. Random pads didn’t work, the screen would freeze when I moved around my session… I walked it called my family and they notified me my mom passed at 9:37..

Shout out to the literal hundreds of DMs giving me a heartfelt story about the (probably only) time you saw me 12 years ago (only cuz I was opening for D), mention of a recent string of bad luck, and then at the end of the third paragraph begging me for PL tickets.

I knew going into this tour that by the halfway point we’d either be surfing the swirl or drowning in it, & Brooklyn was that moment. Felt a huge elevation w the crew, and by Chicago I was no longer nervous, felt almost superhuman (not in a “superior” way, but almost invincible)

One of the coolest parts of our band is that we all have clever ideas on how to flip new shit into existence or add a new dimension to existing music. So like one person will throw out an idea in rehearsal and it’ll snowball into 5 minds building on a concept from a single word.

Did you know that PL was originally a 3 person rap/indie rock project (like atmosphere meets MGMT)? We did a few house parties in CO, a couple opening slots for our other band (wearing gas masks to hide our identity) and a sold out show in Switzerland. Never recorded any stuff :(

The Ticketmaster dilemma is a long running problem. John Oliver has a great segment on it, but as artists it’s very difficult to circumvent. It’s heartbreaking that third party ticketing makes 5-10x what the band does, and the fans get fucked. (1/2)
