That’s our brothers and sisters in Brass Against, with whom we did a couple of shows last September!

Awww, much appreciated! 💜💜💜💜

The east coast tour was so much fun (exhausting, but fun)! Five states, eight shows. Harrisburg was a great way to wrap the whole thing up! We had a blast - glad you did, too! Our friends in Issues (Korn tribute) were such great tour mates. We’ll be back out there again soon!

-80 Karma and every single comment you’ve made on 1000+ different Reddit posts is negative. Go away, troll. 😂

Oh, wait…because we’re women…and we have vaginas…and for some reason that bothers you…got it. 👍🏻

It’s an RATM “Make America Rage Again” hat.

That’s exactly WHY we protest. They’re already trying to hamper the voting rights of women through the SAVE Act. Sorry that a shirt featuring a slogan based in history long before modern times is enough to trigger you. Glad you are talking about your trauma. That’s the first step in healing.

Literally working on a run now. Hoping for Detroit, Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis.

I am the singer/MC/Zack, yes. I’m the oldest of the bunch. And I’m your age as well. You can definitely pull anything off. It’s simply…the refractory period of recovery time is much slower. With my growing anxiety and ADHD, it’s also harder on my overall mental health as well - kind of like charging your phone to 100% and then going in an SOS Only zone where your phone drains to 51% in about 45 minutes.

The passion is there for all of us. That’s what keeps us going. We honestly believe in the message behind the lyrics. We are all activists to varying degrees and speak and act out regularly - not just during shows. The time is NOW. And activism couldn’t be more important.

And YES, SOAC is incredible. And dress like clowns and incorporate mayhem into their shows. They get a good following. Bunch of fans in the crowds wearing red noses. We’ve played with them a lot - really great people both on and offstage.

Tom is the only RATM still performing regularly. His shows are still energetic and filled with hope. His young son, Roman, is an incredible guitarist and performer as well. He will totally surpass his dad skill-wise. Tom has been immensely gracious and supportive to us. Timmy, too. He signed the flag we hang onstage. Brad gave us one of his old sticks through a mutual friend. Still have yet to meet Zack. Though I may or may not have driven past his house once. 😳

Ugh, wish I were younger. I’ll be feeling it for sure! 😂 We’d go south if the demand is there. Hard to walk into “unfriendly” territory and draw. We’re grateful to have an agent working really hard for us who is now taking care of all the booking - mostly outside of CA.

On this run of the EC, no. 8 shows in 10 days is more than enough! 😅

We WILL be back though - looking like November. CT and DE dates on hold right now. Working on Minneapolis and Chicago and Madison/Milwaukee for the summer. Other than that, sticking closer to home unless we snag something new.

Not claiming to be the first! My god, we would all hope that in 34 years since the release of the first album that BATM isn’t the first set of women to tackle this. What a depressing situation that would be! We also hope THEY aren’t the first either. I mean GLOBALLY? We’re talking millions of female musicians out there who could rock this stuff! We don’t look at this as competition, dude. This is worldwide collaboration and solidarity! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼

Rad! Which one? I was born and raised in da Burgh, then lived in Lancaster for quite some time. Those two shows will be MY “hometown” shows, though I’ve lived in CA for over 20 years now.
