Welcome back to the Flowering Jungle! I’m psyched to announce that I’ve added more dates to my fall tour schedule with my new buds, LEISURE coming all the way from New Zealand for their first US headline tour. I’ll be hitting up a bunch of spots I’ve never been before including Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, and DC. As of today most of the new dates still have tickets available, but we expect them to sell out soon so if you want to say hi, be sure to grab yours in advance. A full list of dates along with a link to buy tickets is below. Can’t wait to see you there!

New Show Set Up
This fall will be the longest I’ve gone on tour since my days in my old screamo band when I was 19. I thought it might be a cool opportunity to rework my live show and push my own boundaries a bit. I normally do shows using only my samplers, but I wanted to experiment with playing some other instruments too, so it’s been something I’ve been rehearsing for the last month. It’s a new experience, but I’m excited to share how the Monster Rally live show is growing and changing. If you’ve seen me live in the past, I hope this will be something new for you to enjoy.
As I’m finalizing my set list, I’d love to know what you y’all want to hear! Let me know in the comments or by replying to this email.
New Merch
With a new tour also comes new merch! I’m always psyched for a new opportunity to create more Monster Rally merch and I had a lot of fun with this particular lineup. I went a little crazy.
Eventually I had to pick just three and I think I chose some bangers. Leave a comment below to let me know which is your favorite. For now these will only be available at my shows, but if I have any extra at the end of tour I’ll throw them up on my website in time for the holidays.
Speaking of Holiday…
I have some new vinyl editions of a few fan favorites that I’ll be releasing in November. A little preview of the vinyl colors are below. Drop me a comment or reply to this email with your guesses and requests.
Castaways Vinyl Update
If you ordered a Castaways Vol. 2 in July I wanted to let you know that I’ve been working with the vinyl production plant and we should be receiving everything the first two weeks of October. Obviously, I’ll be on tour then but my mom and a few friends have offered to help get them all out, so they’ll be shipping as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for their patience!
That’s all for the Flowering Jungle this month. I may be taking a short break in October while I’m on tour, but I’ll for sure be back in November with the new vinyl and a BTS of everything that happened on tour.
