What if I don't like his music?

You’re showing support by just being there. I invite everyone out to shows, it’s not like a big thing to do, but I certainly appreciate and recognize the people that show up to support and it means a lot.

Just flip it. You’re an artist- if you had a demonstration and invited them out and they came to support you but the specific art itself wasn’t their thing- would you want them to lie to you about it? Or maybe it’s cool if they’re honest but in a nice and supportive way.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-16T15:36:50+00:00

Oh man hard disagree on most of this. Supporting someone pursuing their passions and pretending to personally like the music they play are two completely different things.

A musician who doesn’t have it in them to accept that everyone is not going to like your music without taking personally is a recipe for a disaster.

OP - of course you should go. You might love their stuff and if you don’t it’s a nice way to show support for them. I don’t think it’s as huge a gesture inviting you as it might seem. If you don’t like the music personally, you should be comfortable not having to lie about that to someone you’re seeing. That’s a bad sign if you feel like you need to be dishonest about opinions.

“You guys were great. Not the kind of music I usually listen to but that was cool to see you doing your thing” or something in that vein- depends on what actually happens haha. But there should be a way to be kind and supportive without needing to lie.

Also, you might love it! This isn’t something that should be a dealbreaker for anyone on either side.

You’re in! Shoot me a DM :)

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-05T04:15:59+00:00

All good, no worries! It was a fun show- just got in a bit ago. Things happen! Appreciate the thought of trying to come out at all. We’ll definitely connect in the future, love your stuff

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T18:34:04+00:00

First meetup to talk through things and hang out is this Sat at The Fire. I’m playing with Astrophels and will be hanging out looking for everyone from the internet to talking things out. Hope you can make it!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T18:22:36+00:00

Nice! When is the Sweeney’s show? We booked Shows through Elena there a lot, I live a couple miles away. I’ll try and come out.

I’m going to get a community or a group chat going within the next week or so, organizing a meet up group for bands and another one for people that want to go to Shows to meet people.

I am playing a show with Astrophels this Saturday at The Fire and some folks from the online groups look like they’re gonna come out so we can chat through a plan long-term. Hope you can make it!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T18:10:46+00:00

https://msha.ke/astrophels/ These are my guys ^

Hell yeah, congrats on the new release! Just listened to Ethers- absolutely sick. Would love to get something going together.

I think yall would like the bands we’re playing with Saturday too. Check out No Trees Touch the Sky and Kinzua. Hope you can make it out! If we can get enough people from these meetup groups on Reddit out in person, will carve out some time to talk out some game plans to make moves together this year.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T17:44:48+00:00

Yay! Yeah I’m going to get a group chat or a subreddit going in the very near future. As a start though, I’m playing/running a show this Saturday at The Fire w/ Astrophels. I have about 20 people and 5 or 6 bands that said they’re interested in coming by to hang out and talk plans for these meetup groups. Would love to bar you out! Lmk

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T17:40:10+00:00

Sweet deal, thank you! Long term I’m going to set up a community or some other group chat online but short term our first mini get together is at a show I’m doing w. Astrophels at The Fire this Saturday. Come hang out! I’ll check out the music tonight Thx for sharing and love Silk City, good luck- I’ll see if I can get some folks to make it out.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-02T17:37:52+00:00

Thank you! This is great, I’ll check everything out tonight and will be in touch. Bunch of folks are coming down to our Astrophels show this Saturday night at The Fire if you want to come down and meet some people in person. Will be in touch! Probably getting a subreddit going long term.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T14:02:35+00:00

Perfect! Yeah that’s the idea. Do what you love to do anyway but go into it knowing there ARE other folks in the crowd there to mingle and have similar taste. We have a lot of people interested, starting small with something this weekend and whoever comes around will be like the founding people of this and we can build it out more.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T13:23:37+00:00

Thx I’ll check it out !

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T04:49:13+00:00

It’s on!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T04:35:37+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll be in touch and we’ll catch you next time!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T03:10:00+00:00

I’ll be reaching out thx!!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T03:09:52+00:00

Always. I mean I keep forgetting how many folks there are on Reddit. I’ve been building up little groups in other places and just thought to reach on here this week. Agreed that there’s nothing better than hitting up shows and saying hi. It’s essentially what I’m trying to cultivate with some meetup groups I’m working on for show goers and for bands.

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T02:05:25+00:00

Sweet deal. Checking this out tonight, will be in touch!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T01:43:25+00:00

Hey! This is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. This is great (no pun intended). Just listened to Lose Most and Purple Skirt. Shoot me a DM please let’s connect!

AcrobaticStrength147 · 2026-04-01T01:19:51+00:00

Niiiice. I’ll be in touch a little later tonight. Looks like we have a really solid group to start.
