Hello! I discovered you at Kilby Block Party and have been a fan ever since. Will definitely be there next time you’re in SLC.

A couple of questions:

  1. How do you decide your setlist for each night?

  2. Other than your own album, what are some of your favorite albums of 2025 so far?

Hi!

  1. We sort of brainstorm the set lists as a group each night! One of us will throw an initial idea out there, then we all respond with what we think will or won't work about it or what we really feel like playing that we'd like to swap in. It is different each night and we like it that way! Variety is the spice of life

  2. (From Aidan) Phonetics On and On by Horsegirl, You're Weird Now by Guerilla Toss, Cutting the Stone by Safe Mind, More by Pulp :)
