Hello friends,

How are you? Doing well I hope.

Over the past year I've found myself withdrawing from social media. It hasn't been in a conscious "I'm changing my life" kind of way, but something more gradual. Simply put, I don't often feel like I'm doing anything that would really be of interest to anyone else. However, I have been starting to worry that this decline in posting might be hurting the band and its fortunes (ha!). 

So I'm going to try and make a point of posting daily to our unholy trio of Instagram / Facebook / Twitter accounts. If nothing else it'll give me a chance to throw elbows against the narcissists, geeks and Nazis that usually dwell in those cesspools. I'll also be writing regular, monthly updates for band activity here on the main site. 

So what's new? Lots actually.

Mike Mangiapane has joined the band and is our new, permanent drummer. We've been fortunate enough to play with several talented drummers over our last few shows (Cassie Baker, Jason Carroll, Faheem Khemani) but we're thrilled to having a dependable lineup again. I suppose we'll need some new band photos...

We're also currently putting the finishing touches on a new single which is called... actually I'd rather keep it under wraps for now. Still though, it's been super fulfilling to work on fresh material and I'm beyond excited to share it with you all. Once it's in the can I'll probably try and shop it around to some labels on the off-chance that someone would like to help us release and promote it. 

As always we're looking to play shows. Clubs, parties, anything and everything. If you think we're a good fit for your event don't hesitate to reach out.

Remember, Western Threads loves you.

Cheers,

Jacob
