Would the first weekend of the New Year really be complete without an afternoon Beach Bash with your deranged friends at The Great Disappointment Global Industries Incorporated?

San Francisco, we love you and you love us. The beer will be cold and the grass will be blue (and some of it that nice hazy green with little orange hairs).

See you on Friday 1/17 at 8:30 at The Plough and Stars in SF! #bluegrass #jamgrass #localmusic #rootsmusic #livemusic #sanfrancisco

The Great Disappointment

Comin' in HOT for our first ever East Bay show, at the legendary Starry Plough in Berkeley.*

This place kicks ass, and so do you, so just imagine the sheer scale of the ass we could kick by assembling the You-Starry Plough-Great Disappointment Axis of Asskicking on Saturday, 1/25 at 8pm. It's almost unsettling...

We shot a live, one-take version of "Saint John Brown" last month. Recorded at nightfall by firelight, this version immediately became a personal favorite for us. We hope you agree!

Make sure to click "notify me" to be the first to know when it goes live tomorrow.

When we were kids we used to think the nerds would one day take over and fix everything. Yeah...

Here is the last of the lyric videos from the new record. It's been a pleasure to share them with ya.

We've all been there. You think someone has touched your finance bro heart but really they were just a spy all along.

Check out "Own Stupid Way" for beachy vibes, some truly greasy resonator guitar, and a controversial approach to spelling Russian words in English.
