Wreck The Tape Deck

yay! puppets throwing up rainbows! boy. have. i. been. there. Clinic will see you now at the Troubadour on Saturday, November 20th. buy your tickets (here) in advance cause the Troub is supa small and it always sells out for anyone good, which Clinic is. (I’m Aware is the first single off of their new album, Bubblegum, which drops in early October.) also children, posting will be quite light for the next couple weeks. j. satan is filming a movie with no internet access. shhh…. shhhh… don’t fret now, children, i’ll still be there deep down in your heart… kind of like heartworm or sickle-cell anaemia.
