RIP Whaus shows

tyler, jeremy, and i (max) found a cool pad to move into a month or so ago. our intentions were to practice as often as our jobs would allow and throw as many house shows as possible. everything seemed great for a while with the house shows. we didn't get to do too many of them, but the couple we had were great times, and we appreciate everyone who came out for showing our house such respect and courtesy.

we really try so hard to actively participate and give back to our small lafayette scene as much as possible. we've put together copious amounts of shows for out of town bands in need, and we were excited as possible to be opening our house to the scene for the all ages crowd, close friends, and anyone who wanted to take part. 

it always seems in this small town, that when we finally get to a point where we're making somewhat of a difference and generating some buzz, that someone has to shake their finger at us and make us kneel on rice in a corner for getting out of line. this is one of the many reasons we'll be relocating within less than a year. living in a place with no venues for heavier music, few decent/bigger acts passing through, and landlords that fall short of tolerating DIY house shows is just downright depressing, and our potential outside of the band as independent show bookers, promoters, house show operatives, and the like go without respect from the general "grown adult" population. 

it doesn't mean we're going to quit helping out everyone we can. the day we stop giving back to whatever scene we are a part of is the day we break up. which won't be any time in the near future. 

let's keep the scene love going, whether it's a teaspoon or a kilo.
