May 20 / Philadelphia

Just south of the heart of the city there's a community of people in Philadelphia called Circle of Hope. They were beautiful and encouraging and filled the room with energy. The only light in the room came from the city beyond the windows and our projector. We've been so fortunate to have been able to play in some intimate spaces this tour. Places where we are able to be quiet, turn off the lights, and perform the pieces we've written together in an environment that feels right. Circle of Hope just felt right. The turn out was great and the bands we played with were absolutely amazing. Anglebrahd opened the evening with a collection of songs he had written over the years using laptop programming, chiptune and 8-bit Nintendo modding, and his acoustic guitar. The evening closed with Geology, the solo project of mewithoutYou's bassist, Greg Jehanian. Geology is a full-band operation but Greg played that evening with an acoustic guitar and a friend on backing vocals. Andrew and Ty and I sat together with goosebumps on the back of our neck listening to Greg's songs. And as if the evening couldn't have gone better, we all went to Geno's afterwards and experienced a "real" cheesesteak.

Andrew captured the audio from a few songs in Greg's set here:

"My Girls"


"Two-Headed Boy pt.2"


"The Deepest Blue"
