To be clear, if you have a problem with us believing that Black Lives Matter or that police brutality can not be tolerated, we were never really friends to begin with.
{thread} Listen, I understand. As a young person you haven't had to wait for much. No dial-up internet, no waiting for an oil change with no phone to occupy your mind. However, Lord Huron finished at 8:50 and we took the stage at 9:20. By my math (which is from the 80's...
LA! Thanks for being one of the weirdest, palm tree laden, artistic, surreal places left in the USA. We had a great time in your city. See you next week

@tbtduluth
we just made you all stand around for over an hour between sets.

Criticize our music all you want but stage crews are giants among us.
Also threats of no longer listening to our music at $0.0084 per spin or not buying tickets to concerts that no longer exist are just sad.
For the rest of you here’s an easy way to help in MN
@tbtduluth
you guys sold out big time tonight at 930 club by playing your mediocre/crappy new album and lost the crowd for selfish reasons for 1 hr. You lost some fans tonight. And we've been to almost all your DC shows. Why?
We made a beer!
Trampled American Golden Ale is a collab with our friends + local Duluth brewery,
@bentpaddlebeer

Airport bar. Everyone here is going somewhere and fast. Us? Well we’re going to Nashville. First, anyway. Playing the storied
@opry
tomorrow with some real talented people. Not sure how we got invited but we’ll be there making the noises we make. After that, who knows?
that how we perceive time may just be a learned construct formed in order for us to attempt to make sense of our puny lives in this seemingly infinite universe. For all I know, my world of hours and minutes may bear no resemblance at all to a more circular or orbital sense of
concert like ours may have seemed "not worth it" after a mindfuck like that. If anything, at least your complaint sparked an interaction with what is clearly one of your favorite bands here on this valuable and socially constructive platform.
mind you so take it with a grain of salt)That's roughly 30 minutes. Now, I'm sure you were like totally starving and, like, freezing, and like, so bored you could've literally died or whatever, but 30 minutes is actually quite a testament to all the hard work the crews and stage
time that you may perceive. Perhaps in what I saw as thirty minutes you saw as millennia through time and space...all of your ancestors and the future and the beginning of everything that exists was just rolled up into one and if that's the case, good sir, I can see how a little
hands put in in order to dismantle one band and set another up while making sure all those cords get plugged into the right places and everything works as it should before the next set. It's a heroic feat of teamwork as a matter of fact. I'm sure you can see how, from our...
...point of view, hearing complaints about waiting for this from someone that had to just stand there with a beer or whatever could be a little off-putting. That being said, who am I to judge your conception of time. In fact, there is a lot of evidence out there...
Hey
@WCCORosen
heard you’re retiring. Congratulations on a wonderful career and thanks for sharing your incredible talents with all of us for so long. Love and light to you and your family.
Trampled By Thursdays! Since we can’t play shows, we went to
@FirstAvenue
and filmed 4 unique sets streaming every Thurs in Feb. Each set has full production + BTS footage. Dusted off material we haven’t played in years. Hope you like.
