Itās like, my expectations for my first shows were so high, I sorta expected to be disappointed, but then it actually went the other way. As a live band experience, they actually exceeded expectations.
Rock out with that show, bro. Iāll be streaming it!

This was my experience last year. Got into the band in 2017 during the massive album dump. It took until 2023 to make a show between family job and Covid. I did the 3 Rimlicker shows in WA. I had massive expectations and they were so far surpassed, and Iām a vet of 30+ years seeing shows, so it takes a lot to blow me away. This band is doing things on a level that Iāve only seen a few acts reach. Itās special. Cherish it and letās hope it can last a looong time.

Boston was my 20th show. Tour may get exhausting sometimes but the shows never get old. I always meet so many amazing people. My friends ask me how I can see the same band so many times and honestly, I keep coming back for the vibes and positive energy (and for the pipe dream of hearing Vegemite live). Itās really indescribable until you get out there and experience it.

Dude, I have composed long-form writing (over 10,000 words) that I would like to contribute to the Blog. I should probably give it an additional, final once-over tomorrow, but please let me know how to go about sharing it here. Thanks.

Also, Iām not sure of the best way to do it, technically, but I could include some pics and short vid that I snapped at the showsāincluding what I described above of Stu crowd surfing right towards me with an inflatable dinosaur bouncing behind him. Itās pretty fantastic.

Looking forward to reading this ! Thanks to all who do what they do for this site !
I composed it in GoogleDocs and Iām now trying to embed photos / video from my phone (Iām not the most tech-savvy dude). Will email as an anyone-can-view google doc link later today. Let me know if I should share it in a different fashion / medium.
I literally wrote it with readers of this website, as well as my friends, as the intended audience. Itās highly self-indulgent personal narrative about my music fandom and my KGLW journey. It is rated R for language (kinda like the boysā language in concert) but otherwise I donāt think there is anything objectionable within it. I am eager to share it later todayā¦ just in time for the school year to start (when I canāt spend time on personal projects like this!). Cheers.

Sent. Photos were successfully added but not the videoāI canāt seem to get my iPhone to share video into a GoogleDoc. Attached the vid to the email. Am happy to work with you (or anybody) to make that successful.
Thanks, Wheels! Iāll get this shared with our editorial team ASAP. Weāll get back to you as soon as we can, though Iām headed to the show tomorrow night so there might be a bit of a delay.

word. Iām tempted to share the link with all my friends right nowā¦ but want to wait to force them to have to give this page the clicks! :>).
All good. I know the writing / editing process takes time.
Just from reading this enthusiastic post, I knew you were my show neighbor from Portland. This is my first time using this forum, hopefully this posts.
