If a band posts IG stories constantly, can they truly be said to be "very offline"? Not a judgment or real conversation, just a funny thought for myself for the day. Online life is weird, and being in a band is weird, and promoting anything online is weird. Such is life in 2026.

I have been grumpy and keep seeing posts/stuff that is trying to get me to indulge my petty side. I am remedying this by listening to practice space recordings of the kernels of new RA songs. The petty side is always there, lurking. These new songs are a pretty good remedy hah hah.

This show was a good time. We played well and the new song was fun to play live. Next up - opening for Sweeping Promises in Richmond at Cobra Cabana on Saturday, Nov. 14! Only our second show outta town and likely our last one for the year. It will be a good one, great venue and a great headliner.

This radio show really does rule. I heard it in real time but just listened again. Erin just plays killer shit whenever she does a show.

You may wonder how our band thinks of itself. What veneer of cool do we cling to, what is the face we choose to present to the world? Are we not here to show the people that we rock ....

Just a few days away. Looking forward to carting out the gear and playing for some folks. Well, there is no joy in carting the gear, but the playing for folks doesn't happen without the gear so here we are. (there is joy in using the gear)

Hey this show is a week away! Head on out if you are in or around Charlottesville, it will be a good time. We are definitely going to have a new song to roll out live for the first time.

The Radon Abatement album has now been out for 5 months. Hard to believe, feels both like yesterday & 2 years ago we released it lol. A small amount of tapes are left so still a chance to get one if you wanna. Thanks to all who have taken a listen/interest radonabatement.bandcamp.com/album/radon-...

Hey this show is in a little under two weeks from now. Happy to get back at it. As a band we don't tend to play too many local shows, as really it is a small town and how many times can your friends be expected to come see you? Should be a fun one though. Ostinato is a great live band.

Going to post this a few more times to catch the varied flow of this place. If you've ever like Grand Banks you will likely like this. Probably one of our best sets, certainly one of our more layered/interesting ones (though still our typical move of playing an uninterrupted 30 minutes +/- of music)

Good show in Richmond, VA tonight: Helene Barbier, Added Dimensions, Kitchenette, & Graphic Violets. A fun set of different approaches to "good rock music," whatever that means to you. I will be there having a (I imagine) good time. My second time hanging at Studio Two Three. Looking forward to it.

A week away. I think @averysafecat.bsky.social and I are gonna have whole new levels of murk for this one. Will it be the murkiest Grand Banks set ever? Hard to say, but there will be primo murk regardless.

Stoked to be sharing a bill with Old Saw at Sage Bird Cider in Harrisonburg Va on 9.27. See you there! lobbyartrecs.bandcamp.com/album/the-wr...

Portland folks, tonight is the night to catch Added Dimensions in your city! Playing with the singular and very cool Collate as well as Byproxy (probably good as well!). I wish I could teleport out for this one, I am sure it will be a good time.

Next batch of these Added Dimensions shows (which Erin O is playing) are kicking off TONIGHT in Eugene, Oregon. Sick line-up of AD + Collate + Liquid Cross. All very good bands, and having seen Collate live once I wish I was getting to see them again. Should be a great night if one is around.

I am not sure what my life would be like if I had not discovered the joy of playing music through a decent amp at volume. Even cooler having a really great amp to play through at volume. It just never really gets old. ("at volume" is whatever I need it to be in the moment)

Music is a gift that keeps finding ways to give, thankfully. Generally the things I get out of it are myriad & endlessly strange & beautiful. Rarely will I get to say something like "Mr. Horribly Charred Infant from the Happy Flowers has purchased a tape," but today is such a day. Hot damn.

Hey this Added Dimensions tour is starting ... today! The band has made it to the west coast so tonight's show should be good to go. Playing with Neutrals, who are great, and a couple of other that are probably good too. If you are in or around San Francisco head on out.

Here is the intro to the film component of The Witness Tree, narrated by Dr. Michelle Merrill, organizer with Scientist Rebellion @srti.bsky.social The film will be available for free next month on October 2nd coinciding with its premiere/2 day event through Yales Institute of Sacred Music.

Today is Bandcamp Friday, consider checking out my new multimedia documentary project The Witness Tree. The track posted uses sounds from a juvenile loblolly pine on the edge of the expanding Chesapeake ghost forests in the Northern Neck peninsula. Pre order today! The Witness Tree-Daniel Bachman

On a jag of thinking of songs that bring me joy every time I hear them & in fact are things I put on pretty regularly simply to feel good. 100s of bands try to hit this sweet spot but most don't/can't. Not for everyone but man I love this band. Pure noise pop delight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOO...

Hey, Erin O is hitting the west coast as part of the Added Dimensions touring crew. They are sounding sick live these days, I highly recommend going and checking them out! Playing w/ quite a few sick bands as well, including Collate, Neutrals, The Intima, Liquid Cross, etc. Catch 'em if you can!
