^ true story! Great shows this past tour. Enjoy the time off. Thanks! It was a blast. Gonna spend the next month or so focusing on art, so if anyone wants to commission something from me, hit me up! Pets, portraits, a favorite car, whatever. Here's my instagram page for somewhat of a portfolio. And...

^ true story!

What to do in Sioux Falls? Hang out with Blammo, a member here and bass player extraordinaire for the Lydia Loveless band and hit the Patron. http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p506/brett27295/Blammo.jpg I'd like to thank Pickle for generously donating some of his (her?) precious fire to light one...

I was really impressed by how tight the band was Saturday night. It was a short set, but they absolutely brought it. Blammo looks like he's straight up attacking his bass. Lydia blew the doors off the First Ave crowd with her vox on "Out on Love". Todd May is ridiculously talented. I briefly compli...

I have no desire to go to Reddit either. That place is a mess …and that's gonna be pretty much the end of her AMA Redditing experiences. I suppose everyone needs to "toughen up" somewhat but maybe the onus should be on people to not be douchebags, when given the opportunity. Lotsa great people chim...

That is one cool-ass bass!

Man, if that doesn't hit you in your soul, you need to turn in your human card.

don't have time to listen today, but it'll be massively impressive to me if I like any song more than "Out on Love", which is perfect. Well I'll have you know that the Chicago Tribune said that "Same To You" was so good, that it made the rest of the album seem like a disappointment in comparison. W...

Here you go, NPR is streaming the entire new Lydia Loveless album for a few days. Hope you guys dig it & we'll see you soon on the road.

Nope but I have stood on train tracks a time or two. Doesn't count unless you were wearing a cowboy hat and a cape and holding a guitar. but what if I appeared lost in thought and stared intensely off towards the horizon? I think the world was sepia-tinged that day as well. one of my fave captions:...

Just ran across this art for purchase by the multi-talented Ben Lamb: http://www.lydialoveless.com/store/empress-tarot-card-wood-art Thanks! That piece is sold but I have some other stuff for sale on my etsy site: www.etsy.com/shop/3rdShiftDesigner I also do commissions of pets, portraits, cars, an...

hell yeah but too bad it's that venue. Not a big fan of that place

Cool name at least!

I'll post 'em as soon as I get approval from ye olde powers that be! Can't wait though; it's gonna be a fun fall tour.

New song seems super slick and synthy. Catchy though. Kesha influence is obvious, but it works. Just reading through track titles, I have a feeling "Midwestern Guys" may lead to uncomfortable self awareness I hear ya but I will say the sound of this track is not necessarily representative of the re...

you guys are gonna love this tour. thanks for the kind words!

Does this mean the AC/DC shows will be starting 4 hours after the ticketed time?

I can't wait for a whole new group of people to personally discover what a tool Axl is!

So…what's the consensus here on the effectiveness of canceling NC shows? I've seen arguments for both sides (and both sides meaning "canceling in protest" vs. "having a protest gig"). My band doesn't have anything on the books, and I doubt NC lawmakers would give a shit either way, but it's an inter...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Rg8dGLI-L._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg Just knocked this out as a diversion while I slog through Infinite Jest. It's an amazing book by a remarkable person and it tells a surprisingly contemporary tale of the story of America. Seriously, I know it's not earth ...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say a few words about Homecoming. It was a year ago that we started making the trek to Athens to open for the boys at the 40 Watt. As openers it can sometimes be a little awkward being on someone else's gig, but the whole DBT community really made us feel welcome & it ...

It was a raucous evening. Inexplicably, no one wants to see Lydia's pictures of me. I can only assume it's because I am the superior photographer.

For anyone interested, Lydia Loveless is heading down to the Hangout for the weekend and will be playing Saturday at a record store (not sure which one but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out) w/ some other folks and probably a few other places as well. Have fun, wish I could be there! Arkansas ...

Thanks for coming out to the show! Hell of a rock show, as usual. Just curious, any idea of the number of shows you've done this year? Just counted, seems to be about 87 shows. We're hoping to consolidate our touring schedule next year and tour a bunch more in one year and get the next album out so...
