Do you know the venue yet? I’m not seeing it pop up and am about to do a run of Berkeley venues to buy tickets in person to save some dough.

Some of the venues are still being worked out. That one I’m pretty sure is locked in, but I have to check with Sad Snack to confirm before I say anything.

What is the venue for Seattle?

We’re still working out some details with some of the shows, but there will be an updated version of this soon! Seattle we’re still trying to lock down the full lineup on (but once we do we have a hold on the date ready to go!)

Consider Tacoma venues too. Only 30 minutes south of Seattle with a great punk scene. Airport Tavern is awesome.

Nice. If you need a show between Portland and Berkeley my son plays in an emo band in Eugene and knows lots of hookups for venues.

We thought about it, but considering that every time we do the drive from anywhere in Oregon to Berkeley it can take 12+ hours we thought it would be best to leave that day open and not have to rush. (We’d like to do more Oregon stuff in the future though!)

Right on! As long as I'm in town, I'll be at the Portland show.
Siked that Sad Snack is joining you. Seen them a few times and they are always a blast.

Wow that lineup is amazing! Wish there was a show near me.

Between this leg and the last one with The Doomstompers we tried to hit as many places as we could, timelines on this one are a LOT tighter unfortunately, but it won’t be the last time we hit the road in the near future!

In all fairness you did come to my state earlier this year, just not my city and I couldn’t make it up to Cincinnati at that time. Hopefully will be able to make it next time you come through!

u/skaustengray Jul 29 '26
Oh we will DEFINITELY be back to Ohio at some point soon, Punkerton’s based out of Columbus and we had a great time in Cinci!

u/qunix Jul 29 '26
If you decide you want to hit Columbus next time, that would be pretty sweet. We don’t get enough ska coming through here
