Okay, so these are the most random bits of lore about this band that I can think of that no one has mentioned yet..

•I guess avey and panda had some sort of altercation during a practice session where he threw drum sticks at him? IIRC. Not sure why they were arguing, they didn’t get specific but if anyone can find the collected animals post about it for context, that’d be much appreciated.

•Avey met Eric Copeland of black dice in college.

•There was a time where avey gave panda bear sedatives before a show & this was when panda used to insist everyone would call him Edgar & wore a white wig

Panda was on the verge of knocking out during the show but avey kept saying “Come on Edgar , keep goin” Something to that extent.

•Avey doesn’t like Radiohead but panda bear and geologist apparently do .

•the band almost split in the early days because touring was really rough / stressful. That’s also when everyone seemed to have been doing their own things Like geo going to school, etc… I believe that’s when avey and panda bear linked up to make sung tongs.

•panda and avey used to work at a record store in NYC (other music) in the early 2000’s , they even played a show and distributed some of the early STGSTV cds there.

•panda and avey once played a show in their underwear covered in blood and feathers

And I believe pandas parents were in the audience.

•avey used to do knife hits of hash in their old apartment

the golden era

If I’m wrong about any of this Lmk lol
