i appreciate the replies. at the time i bought my tickets it was definitely a FOMO kinda thing. wasn't familiar with strand of oaks, but if 4/5 of MMJ were playing, i had to be there.

months later, it turns out eraserland is one of my favorite records in years. can't wait to be there.

It really is a great album. The LA show was a really good show. Only downside was it was a little short. Would've loved to hear a couple more older songs.

Strand of Oaks shows are always fantastic, and always too short. I've seen him a few times and it's never gone longer than about 90 minutes, start to finish. I've heard the same from everybody I know who's seen him too -- it's hard to make that complaint about such a great show, but I wish he'd draw it out a bit sometimes!

That really was my only complaint about the show. I wish I'd caught previous incarnations of the band, but I've made up by going to Youtube and checking out some of their older shows. A great way to hear the songs from their earlier albums live!

Quote from: Mr. White on Sep 12, 2019, 11:14 PMI went to my first Strand Of Oaks show last night, September 11, 2019, at Zanzabar in Louisville, Kentucky. It was really special. I was on the front row/rail with lots of MMJ Family and even a few Forum members. I stepped back for the last song, so I could get a good audio/video recording. I think it turned out pretty good.

He was really hyping these "special guests" on social media. I thought there was no chance that the MMJ guys didn't show up. Did anyone?

Just a heads up for anyone close to Austin. Tim is doing a November residency at the Continental Club. It will be every Wednesday. There will be no presales and tickets will be limited to 70 people. Wish I could make one of these shows.

was listening to the latest episode of the Joe Pug podcast and he interviewed Tim. He mentioned he was recording his new record in LA with Kevin Ratterman over the next few weeks. Pretty cool!

Good to hear!! For something to listen to in the meantime, here are some Strand Of Oaks bootlegs https://livebootlegconcert.blogspot.com/search/label/Strand%20of%20Oaks

Bo was shown playing keys in the studio on Tim's IG so assuming he will be on the record?

TommyBurnz · Jul 09, 2021, 07:13 AM

Tim's new album is up on ITunes and the new single "Galacticana" is fantastic. Can't wait to hear the rest and I am looking forward to seeing him at Sea Hear Now this year!

Murph · Jul 10, 2021, 05:05 PM

I asked him on Instagram if any of the MMJ guys are on the new record. He said Carl is playing guitar and Bo is playing keys on that first single! It's a great song too..

That's awesome, Carl's the best! I bet Tim would say Carl saved his career by talking him into getting back at writing then the boys helping him with the music on Eraserland.

parkervb · Jul 15, 2021, 01:32 PM

really like this song. Feels like it would have fit right in on Eraserland as well. Looking fwd to hearing Carl and James Iha on the same track.

Just released his tour schedule for the US!

Listened to it on the way to work this morning and I think it may be his best yet.

Really liked the first listen but just had it on a little quiet while working, I loved Eraserland so much, but i did feel like this one was a little more upbeat so i think ill enjoy it more after a few more spins

sillyboob · Oct 01, 2021, 03:45 PM

I really enjoyed my first listen through. Hearing it, the sound, the layering, it reminded me of The Cure with their Disintegration & Wish albums, that period. Great stuff here, can't wait to hear it on the beach. Still bummed he had to cancel the tour though. Was going to two shows.
