Of course we’re bummed Sammy can’t be here, but we wish him well and we’ll get him here soon. With that being said, his partner Liz has been going through their own health stuff for a while. If you’ve got a few dollars to spare, consider chipping in here: https://gofund.me/cb9eb1cbf

The money you would’ve spent at his show this week can be sent via their Gofundme to help ease their medical costs and ensure treatment can continue.

Couple things

I’m not invincible. I learned this a few weeks ago and a few EKGS later. “Stress” whatever that is.

Long story short. I gotta pull out of next weekends New England and Rochester show.

I will make it back when it’s warmer and I don’t have a billion appointments telling me to not “stress”

Second thing. That’s our bills and we got a chemo shot coming up. Links up in the bio for merch and also Liz’:s go fund me. I got rent covered, or half a shot of immunotherapy if that’s could actually exist.

Anyways. I’m shipping records out and me and are plotting and is drawing and I’m assure I am not working on a new record.

Be good. Eliminate stress and tell me how to do it plz

If you’re in the ska scene at all, then you know Mikey Rhude. He’s been a big supporter of Some Ska Band and all the great independent ska bands keeping the scene alive through his radio show and love of the music. He and his wife lost their home in floods in Hawaii. Please consider donating whatever you can. Mikey gives so much to us and now we need to step up for him.
