One of the most fun collateral benefits of getting ready for the 80s kids release is that @hilljam & I obtained an Atari 2600 for a photo shoot.
Our local used game shop hooked us up; we've since been spending weekend downtime playing all the games we loved when we were kids. They're just ... simple, ya know? And in this moment in history, with all that's happening in the world, that feels kind of comforting ... ya know?

Frogger was the first game we (re)acquired. And I just learned that it's become a finalist for this year's entries into the World Video Game Hall of Fame! Go, little frog, go!
Do you, too, have fond Atari memories?
Do you, too, still call it "Frogger" when you cross a busy street (you know you do!)?
If so ... that probably means you're an 80s kid, whether by age or at heart.

And either way, you are precisely the person that this album — and the tour we're headed out on this spring — is for. We can't wait to share it all with you.
We'll be going to 23 cities — including a new show added in #StLouis (tickets went on sale yesterday!), and a new show added in #oakland CA (tickets will be available this coming week!).
Take a look at our schedule and make a plan to come see us. (Early ticket purchases help us SO MUCH — thank you!!)
