SAYS THE BAND:
“One funny anecdote from this track that you’ll catch when you watch the video version is the culmination of the prank war between us and Kadabra in action. We were on the road together for about seven weeks and had been pranking each other all along the way. They started it. This was the last show of the tour, and by this point, we felt like we had taken it as far as we were going to take it and had given those guys a good run for their money. They kept taunting us that a big retaliation was on its way, kind of playing head games with us.
Well, the last show arrived, and during ‘Red Giant,’ they inflated about 50 balloons and circulated them around the crowd. It was actually a really sweet surprise from those guys, and the crowd loved it. So, if you hear a bunch of random popping noises throughout this record, you’re hearing people in the crowd popping the balloons as we play. To top it off, they also covered our van in silly string, paper, and had written ‘Kadabra Rules’ and other obscenities in giant lettering all over the windows. Just another example of the many things that made this night a really fun one for us.”
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
“We’ve been toying around with the idea of doing a live album for a while now, considering our music has a whole different energy and vibrance to it in any given live situation. There are also moments of spontaneity, improvisation and imperfection, which make each performance different from night to night, so it’s cool to have a well recorded document of a little snapshot in time from this era of the band’s history. It’s also something we plan on doing more regularly in the future as we progress along our path and evolve. We toured a whole hell of a lot in 2024, both across the United States and Europe as well as Canada and this was our final show of the year and took place in our hometown of Portland, Oregon. We figured it would be a special place to try and capture an audio and video document of a full concert, one, because Portland has always been our rock, a very supportive hometown with whom we’ve always shared a genuine connection with and two, it’s a place where we have the resources to have friends help to make it happen on little to no budget. Some things went “right” that night, some things went “wrong”. Its raw. It’s live. It’s us.”
