DC, NJ... who's coming next weekend??? Where should we take this lineup next 😳...?

Right in under the wire… some photos from .tanaka.7545 from our trip to Japan!! Much love again to and for having us, and of course the ultra homies who we played more than 30 shows with this year on 3 different continents… WHOA!!!

it would be hard to sum up the year with just one photo, but it’s rather easy to sum it up in one word: grateful. this was our most active year to date, and the highlights are straight out of a dream bucket list: the cross-country bad time tour, our first time across the pond, playing for the biggest crowds of our lives in japan, and helping commemorate 20 years of a match and some gasoline, just to name a few.

so many people helped make this year happen that a list would be insufficient. thanks to all of the fans who listened, sang along at the shows, and grabbed some merch to help keep us out there (with special thanks to the ume safety crew for keeping our boy safe!). thanks to all of the incredible tourmates we were privileged to rock with. thanks to everyone behind the scenes that make this entire. thing. happen.

to; dr: thank you. we love you. more fun awaits in 2024. ska now more than ever. 🏁

most good pics by , save for skaramble shots by .

NJ & DMV: santa claus is coming to town, and he’s bringing the gift of SKA!! what better stocking stuffer to pair with that new 2024 club card than tix to our first shows of the new year with , , & ?!

DC. the district. the nation’s capital. birthplace of fugazi.

your boys are coming home one month from today and we couldn’t be more stoked to rip it up with , , & . just look at those faces. things always get wild at and this promises to be no exception. looking forward to celebrating another trip around the sun for & with the hometown faithful!!

alright mid-atlantic, it’s time to get real: one month from tomorrow we reunite with our bostonian brothers for two birthday blowouts. as if that’s not enough we got & along for the ride to melt faces.

will drew jump out of a cake? will we debut a KL song we’ve never played live before? will we play some new covers? all questions that can only be answered at the gig.

lincoln 1310, naturally.

holy schnikes, chicago - you BROUGHT IT. ume safety crew in full effect, thanks for keeping our professional maniac safe.

it’s hard to put our gratitude into words to be a part of commemorating 20 years of “a match and some gasoline.” & have always been guiding lights for us musically, and it was an absolute privilege to be a part of this run. but to feel so welcome while there? guiding lights as humans as well. thank you TSM. thank you AAA. ska-punk forever. let’s do it again soon.

endless gratitude also to / for bringing our little ska dreams to life and to the 7th member of KL on this run for documenting said dreams with such genius. ♑️=🐐, 🐐=♑️.
