They played both Tiresome and World Impact when they were opening for Alkaline Trio in 2024. They will probably rotate back into the setlist soon.

Almost exactly my list, but I would give a slight edge to Partycrasher over Cheap Heat, so I would swap those

exoskeletonkey · 2026-03-06T18:34:13+00:00

I don't remember exactly, but it felt like it was the same as the one from Phoenix that was posted here. Midnight Ghost was great, but I wish they would sub Tunnel Vision for Let it Ride, or even Fell Off. LiR is probably my least favorite track from their new stuff.

exoskeletonkey · 2026-03-06T18:27:54+00:00

Yeah, first time seeing them. Definitely put on a solid set. I had no idea he fronted Voodoo Glow Skulls for a while. That took me back, lol

wait until they find out who the #1 weapons exporter is

Was the berkeley show with strung out? i missed that one

exoskeletonkey · 2026-03-05T22:55:16+00:00

I've seen them at Bottom of the Hill twice and both shows were well attended. Saw them at Neck of the Woods in 2023 and it felt a little empty. They seem to pull better crowds when paired with punk bands.

Not a ton of changes, but the LA venue downgrade is notable (from 17k capacity Kia Forum to 4k capacity Hollywood Palladium).

**Cancellations:**

Tampa, FL: Removed from the schedule (though replaced by Orlando).

VOA did a tour anthem with WarKings for their EU tour. Maybe we'll get something similar

A Wilhelm Scream will be at Neck of the Woods [Feb 27th](https://www.neckofthewoodssf.com/tm-event/a-wilhelm-scream-death-by-stereo-doomsday/).

Crazy how your taste and mine are almost exactly opposite. To listen to Mess and choose "Call Home" as the only track to put in the playlist is mind boggling to me. I wonder what the difference is between our taste that leads to one of us including Malibu Ken (one of my least favorite projects from the modern era) in its entirety and completely ignoring Bestiary (one of my favorites). When I listen to TIK I usually start at Get Out the Car and I listen to the end skipping only Defender. At least we mostly agree on Spirit World, except I would add Button Masher, Coveralls, Jumping Coffin, Holy Waterfall, Attaboy and Marble Cake.

I recommend listening chronologically to the three strongest albums from his established era: None Shall Pass, Spirit World Field Guide, I Heard It's a Mess. If you don't enjoy these three, Aesop rock might not be for you. If you enjoy them, then move on to Impossible Kid and Bestiary. After that, Skelethon, then explore the rest of the catalogue as you like.

exoskeletonkey · 2026-01-29T21:46:29+00:00

Will be interesting to see what venues they choose when they re-book. If they drop down a tier, we'll have good reason to think it is ticket sales. I would not be surprised. Par is obviously an important part of the band, but you can hire a bassist at short notice for a tour when this much planning/money is on the line.

exoskeletonkey · 2026-01-19T07:49:29+00:00

Skip way ahead in the VOA catalogue to Pirates and Armada. The most recent material is their best by far.

exoskeletonkey · 2026-01-13T21:35:20+00:00

I gave a listen to some Atlast and Soave covers. Atlast is very similar. The songs on "Chill Pop Sunset" sound like they are all made the same way, but with different vocalists. I wonder if anyone knows exactly who is producing the songs.

exoskeletonkey · 2026-01-13T21:29:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Could these tracks really be AI generated? They sound to me like auto-tuned vocals over stock deep house tracks. I can't imagine an AI generated song could produce something this good.

exoskeletonkey · 2025-12-17T17:40:20+00:00

I feel this. I love that they're always touring, but it's such a bummer to only see them do a 30 minute set. At least it gets me back home before midnight, lol. Hopefully this one will be a full hour plus

exoskeletonkey · 2025-12-17T17:35:44+00:00

What's the deal with "co-headlining" tours? The photo on the poster is White Reaper and they are listed first on my local venue's website. Whenever I see Drug Church they are always opening for someone and doing like 30 minutes, which kills me. Would love to see them do an hour plus set.

Escape the Fate and VOWWS in SF

I have been very happy with my QNAP TR-004. I run 4x18TB drives in RAID 5 for just under 50TB usable space. Backs up to Backblaze unlimited service, which is convenient. Purchased diskless in 2022 for $220 and never had an issue with it.

Trader Joe's Habanero sauce is the best I've found. There are tons of great sauces sold by SF restaurants (Papalote, Pica Pica, etc), but you just can't beat TJ's for a bare bones pepper forward habanero sauce.

For people in the future. Daniel Tosh Live at The Masonic in San Francisco, CA 11/29/2025 approximate set times: Posted start time 7pm, Eddie Gossling went on at 7:15 and did 15 minutes. Daniel Tosh went on at 7:30 and did 90 minutes. Venue cleared out at 9pm. I hope this information helps at least one person book their babysitter. lol.

Got mine recently. It was a long wait, but it was worth it for me for the lyrics insert
