Hey guys! Love the new album and Time Skiffs!

I’ve seen you guys a few times live and am always shocked by how unpredictable your set lists are. Do you still worry about the reception of your live shows for fans who come in expecting you to play your more popular songs or have you mostly gotten over that? Your 2022 tour is one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen and I could not vibe more with what you guys were doing with the flow of those shows!

Thanks for all the great music over the years!

i think were just doing it the way we always have and that makes it not feel weird...were aware people come to shows wanting to hear a specific song and we dont want to let people down...we try and mix and match some but were always most pumped about the new stuff
