After Brian and I saw Richard Lloyd of Television and co in Toronto we kept in touch with Kevin (drums) and eventually opened for them in Chicago. They were all incredibly kind and generous to us, and Richard deserves it back 1000x fold. Please also consider donating.

here's a bit of "Elevation" that made me levitate out of my body when we played together in 2024, thank you for spreading the word on the above. Every fan of the band Television should hear about this.

play in a band long enough and you’ll drive by places that used to be venues you played that are now dentist offices, trendy restaurants, sinkholes falling into the depths of the earth, and more!
