Today 9 years ago this crazy idea called Saint Vitus opened. Everyone’s support over the years and most recently on this Kickstarter has given us all faith here and the drive to prevail for hopefully another 9 years!
Stay safe & sane out there and WE WILL SEE YOU SOON!!

Black lives matter. Be safe if you're protesting, and if you can't be safe, be smart. If you don't feel comfortable protesting during a pandemic, there are other ways to help. Find one. It's not enough not to be racist. Be anti-racist.
We love you. We see you. We're with you.

Okay so: it's Bandcamp day on Friday, 2/5, and we wanted to make a master thread of all our staff members who have bands, and we KNOW we're missing some folks (and also Arty has nine fucking thousand bands) so we will keep adding to this as we remember stuff.
JUST ANNOUCNED! Couch Slut and Sunrot! Streaming 4/20. Exclusive merch, band merch bundles, riffs for daaaaays. Mosh with your animals in the safety of your own home. Tix up now:
Hi. Yes. Thanks for inquiring about upcoming shows. We have none on the books as of right now. We assure you that if/when we have an upcoming show(s) we will let you know. Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful day.
And a huge thank you to everyone who has taken a moment to message us with support about this today. It’s … honestly a really heartening number of you guys. We’re lucky to have you.
