see you in a couple of days at our shows with and ! 3 chances and LTJs only West Coast dates, dang.

have you ever snuck food into a show? 🤔 i was just remembering this time at a ska show when i looked over and my sister pulled a burrito out of her purse… it was amazing. you need to keep your blood sugar up for all the singing and dancing. no crashing out this week, can’t wait to see you, okay?! 🌯

well… this really sucks to say 😔 but we have to cancel our may tour to the midwest and our appearance at POUZZA.

we were so excited about these shows and playing ska with friends and getting to see your faces. this is the first tour we’ve ever had to cancel which makes this even harder to post. we’re really sorry.

sometimes life and adult responsibilities ((ruuude)) get in the way and we can’t work around. this is one of those times. we tried very hard to make this work. like… aggressively hard. unfortunately, the universe was like “NOPE”

please know this wasn’t an easy call at all. we’re super bummed, and we’re going to do everything we can to make it up to you soon.

thank you for always showing up for us 💔 we’ll be back as soon as we can, i promise. WE LOVE YOU!

- Tara, Max, David, Luis, Eric, Savannah and Patrick

Our Berkeley show will be Em’s final show playing in Half Past Two. We’re grateful for all the music and memories we’ve made together, and we hope our Bay Area friends will come out to celebrate with the Bad Time Records fam!
