KALAMAZOO! We're bringing our "Fake New Years" show to the State Theater on Saturday, December 29th. This one day event will seek to emulate NYE festivities, featuring a countdown, a giant tinfoil ball, and a perfectly curated selection of 1990's and 2000's covers. Last year's party was one of our all-time favorites, and this year should be no exception. Our buddies in Desmond Jones and Basic Comfort will be joining us too!

We’ve played quite a few covers over the years, but Thundercat’s “O Sheit it’s X” is easily one of our all time favorites. We put a funky-disco spin on the original and decided to record it live at none other than Red Rocks Ampitheater. Not only is this our first ever live recording of a cover, but it also marks the first release on our new label, AntiFragile. Hope you dig it!

It's almost Halloween ya'll! If you don't know already, we take Halloween very seriously here at Rainbow Seeker Headquarters. Because of this, we're throwing THREE shows next weekend to celebrate. Costumes aren't required, but we are absolutely going to be dressing up, and you should too. Ticket links below 👻🎃 11/1 - Ann Arbor (Blind Pig) - https://fanlink.to/aa2 11/2 - Ann Arbor (Blind Pig) - https://fanlink.to/aa2 11/3 - Grand Rapids (Elevation) - https://fanlink.to/grn1 Photo: Taylor Ward

After two years and about 75,000 miles, our Mercedes Sprinter (named BarthaloMew2King) has been formally retired as the primary Rainbow Seeker transport. Our relationship with her has always been one of contention, as BTM had an insatiable thirst for the contents of our bank account (she gluttonously consumed nearly $30,000 over the last two years). While all her vehicular essentials (engine, transmission, ect) are in perfect working order, it was her Mercedes Diesel Emissions System that repeatedly failed us - and at the end of the day, a full-time, touring band needs a reliable whip. That being said, we'll have to cancel our DC show and we will be looking for a new high-top cruiser for 2019. Our manager loves nothing more in this world than saving money, so fortunately we were prepared for this. However, if you'd like to support us in our efforts to buy a new vehicle, please consider visiting our merch store or buying tix to our upcoming Halloween parties in Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids (they're pokemon themed, by the way). Oct. 13 - Club Dada - Dallas, TX Oct. 16 - Saturn - Birmingham, AL Oct. 17 - Aisle 5 - Atlanta, GA Oct. 18 - Cambria Hotel - Nashville, TN Nov. 1 & 2 - The Blind Pig - Ann Arbor, MI Nov. 3 - The Intersection - Grand Rapids, MI Tix and more info at JoeHertler.com

Shows like this always feel like a dream - and they're over in an instant. Life is a series of mountain peaks and it's easy to focus on the milestones. Just gotta remember to smell the roses. Be a sponge to the moment, because life moves fast (and music moves faster). So grateful to have shared our 76th show of the year with Flint Eastwood - and my most sincere thanks go out to GRiZ and co. Twas' a beautiful day and what an honor it was to be a part of it.

We're heading back to the beautiful mountainous state of Colorado for an exciting little run of shows this week (including our first time ever at Red Rocks)!
