Spider Octopus

10 days through the southeast

we hit pensacola around 10p on a tuesday night, after a dissappointing no-show in Tallahassee. after this everything became blurry, i know at some point satan offered me whiskey and i drank with old friends until the next morning showed its face... we played a great homecoming show in pensacola and mobile. we also managed to take two pictures during our stay in pensacola, one before the pensacola show, and one after the mobile show:

nick has now started a record label and asked renee and i to contribute, here are a few tracks from an upcoming spider + octopus house pride release called "- ist":
