The Breaking Pattern

Question for y’all: what genre are you needing most in your life? I’m thinking of doing a side project and curious on what others would like to hear. Some ideas: acoustic/ambient sleep music, indie RnB bangers, angsty metal/post-hardcore, straight up poetry, sad TBP songs that didn’t make the cut, or maybe just a random splatter of everything and do whatever I feel like doing at the time? This is all hypothetical, just been writing and thinking. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq2t5_Ah38B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vg4on3uzkcmo

Seasonal depression is very real and super common. Cold weather, less sunlight, the ending of a year, holidays and all the chaos and emotions they bring. I could go on but I just wanted to put out the PSA that seasons pass, so if you’re not the winter cheerful type, it’s all good. You’re going to see happy people all around you and wonder what’s wrong. Nothings wrong. Your joy looks different and is waiting for you around the corner <3 On a side note, there’s a ton of great shows this weekend if you need to get out of the house! My friends @greyjoy.official @jonnylemons and @iamanathema all have their own shows. I won’t be around, I’ll be locked inside with a mountain of work and writing to finish. But go support your local scene if you have no current plans. Happy Friday friends! https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQggESBiWZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7z27rntvki1c

If you came out to see my face this past weekend, then thank you! You are too good, too awesome, and far too kind <3 if you met me this weekend, then even better! I hope you stick around and support the band. Making new friends and having new experiences together is what this whole thing is about. We’ll be in the studio for the rest of winter and coming out of hiding early next year. Hope to see you then 💛 PC :: @kalias_whatever https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGfgFMB2CD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=139jctbjo5grw

Tomorrow night!!! I’ll be going solo, all alone, isolated, just me and you and an acoustic guitar. We’re gonna talk about things, we’re gonna sing about things, and we’re gonna have a moment together. It’s not something I do often, and probably won’t do again in the near future. That said, it’s going to be an entertaining night and a show you’ll want to drink up to the last note!! Send me a msg to be added to the will call <3 @fiftyonewest @saywecanfly @asummerhigh @thestolen PC :: @_haisy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-qm_cB2VN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10kp3qomkagk3

Happy Friday friends! Go do fun things with fun people. Maybe get scared a little bit for the Halloween holiday. Fear is such a wonderful and powerful emotion! There’s an immediacy that makes us present, and when it passes, we become so much more aware of our existence. At least that’s how I feel driving on the 101 everyday.
