About the Chicago Benefit
The show in Chicago was a partial benefit for MESS, an organization in Haiti that provides free medicine, primary health care and mental health support to the Jacmel communities affected by the earthquake. It was an organization that one of our friends who recently visited Haiti recommended as a group doing important work that needed support. You can read more about the experience of a group of Americans who traveled to Haiti to work in solidarity with communities in Haiti on their blog, Jacmel Working Group. You can also make additional donations via PayPal on the blog.
From the blog:
Sadly, the world is left with very distorted images of the earthquake’s aftermath like the mass burials and people fighting over food and subsequently Haiti’s grieving and healing process is left in obscurity. I dare the media to cover something real and meaningful.

Updates!
Ramsey took this nice photo from the Chicago show:
Todd shot this video of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop (and also ones of I’m Just Going to Leave … and Eureka) at the show in Cleveland:
Ryan (not Ryan in the band) shared this video from the Milwaukee show:
You’ve got question’s? We’ve got (some) answers!
I’ve also added some answers to some questions I’ve seen in the comments.
when will the show start?
If we don’t specify, the show should start around 8.
How much will the show cost?
All shows will be less than $10.
Where can I get tickets?
Many of our shows are at community centers or DIY spaces without box offices so there aren’t any tickets. Just show up! Some shows at clubs probably have tickets but you’ll have to check with the venue about that. We don’t know anything about it.
Will we have the new record at shows?
Yes. As of the chicago show, we have the new record as an lp, cd and tape.
What is the address of magnetic south in Bloomington/What time would it be?
The Bloomington show got moved to the Bishop. They should have details on their site, but shows in Bloomington usually start at 8 or 9.
What’s up with the Denver show?
It did get moved to the 25th.
Is the Fun Day All Day Fest in Oakland on July 3 is all ages? When are you playing?
Yeah. We try to only play all-ages shows with a few exceptions. If a show isn’t all-ages, we’ll be sure to say so.
We’re probably playing some time in the evening but not super late.
See you all soon. xo,
Geoff
New(ish) Website
I’m moving the website to a new platform. It might be kind of wonky for a while.
hey everyone!
so the new defiance, ohio record is mixed and mastered!
it is called…
“midwestern minutes”
it is 11 songs.
some notable things about it (as differences from the last record), include a lot of use of the piano and Wurlitzer along with a return of the upright bass on some songs.
as long as everything goes according to plan, we will put it out on LP and CD on JULY 6th on No Idea records!
Sorry Chicago!
bad news dudes.
On march 27th, we were planning a Chicago show. We, unfortunately, have to cancel in order to make room for another day of recording at the studio. In working on the new songs, we realized that we should book a little more working time. We will plan a new Chicago show in the near future. We are getting really excited for Harvest of Hope and the other upcoming shows. See you there!
xoxo,
Defiance, ohio
