LONESOME CROWDED TOUR-VENTURE

Very Very Special Thanks to Sean & Scott, two very incredible brothers who got me into the VIP show,

Of Montreal w/ Pelvis Wrestley & CorMae ATX JUNE 16th 2025

My friend Holland gave me their spare ticket to Of Montreal so of course I had to review the band that's accompanying Modest Mouse for the upcoming Ice Cream Floats cruise-- WRONG. If you hear me say anything about the cruise in relation to Of Montreal, that's a mistake, oops! Feels like they'd fit right in, but. They've never even toured with Modest Mouse, shockingly.

This episode was spontaneously recorded and completed to both cover the topic ASAP and also let y'all know more about the upcoming Summer tour 2025 episode's current production status (COMING SOON!)
