what is going on in your musical life

Oh wow, that is a massive compliment! Thank you!

vinyl copies of our record arrived today, they sound fucking great, this is definitely the best day of my life

Congrats!

congrats Ivy!!!

Ivyyyyyyyyy congrats!!

Congratulations!

that is very cool ivy! congrats

Congrats, how many did you press?

I got the masters back for the record I've been working on and I'm very happy with them, whew. I do kinda want to do a very short vinyl run, like 50 copies or less, even if it doesn't make sense financially.

there are a few places out there that let you do an express order of 100, sort of a gamble bc there’s no test pressing, but we figured we really didn’t need more than that many (we’ve only sold 20), and it turned out great

Congratulations!

had no idea someone took a video of us during our last show in february. i drop a stick during the outro but otherwise... killed it

OH SHIT!!! i TOTALLY saw your band at a dive bar in Astoria like a year ago

also, you fucking ruled

*and* you looked amazing

The way i described it to my friend was 3 charismatic personalities who mostly stake out their own territory and never quite meld together, but the moments when they come to meet is the most joyous release. the way other bands have quiet/loud dynamics this band has magnetism and pulling apart.

i fucking loved it, and i don't even listen to this kind of music at all

anyway i have been looking for someone to teach me to play sho... and it turns out Columbia U has a gagaku ensemble! and i'm allowed to participate, barring any change in policy that would exclude members of the community.
there's just one thing, i have to buy a sho first lol. and the beginner models cost like $1200 and have to be ordered 6 mos in advance. but fuck it i am doing this, i can sell my rock instruments that i dont play anymore.

omg!!!

was the show at irish whiskey bar? best we've ever sounded, somehow, even though the situation was supremely disorganized when we arrived. thank god for scene lifer and the nicest and coolest soundman i've ever met, snake

that’s the one! I never would’ve remembered the name of the bar, but who could forget Snake??
If it’s the best you ever sounded then i feel so lucky to have caught it!!

that video is great ivy, your band reminds me of Q and Not U in a way

biggest compliment on earth!!!!!

also, it's live, and i never have to post about it again https://faithvoid.bandcamp.com/album/weird-chills

whoa, this album smokes!

Sure as hell does! I posted about it last night to Bluesky (tagging Mattie natch -- are you on there, ivy?), and jamie quinn was overwhelmed in response:

"holy christ the guitar on bonehenge feels like having a fever dream under hot sand."

Anyway in honor of the combined release day F/V needs to open for Charli XCX on her forthcoming tour so you both can collectively wreck everybody.

thank you so much ned!!!! i feel hopped up on goofballs today

(i’m not on bluesky, and after my insta and fb got deleted i decided to never make a new social media account) (tho i do run the band instagram since i have so much free time on account of having no personal social media)

I can't wait to listen, big congrats ivy.!
