Wavvy Hands

Hey everyone.

I realize we cut the tour blog a bit abruptly. Sorry about that. Here’s an update:
Last Wednesday, after driving a short, yet scenic drive through the mountains from Asheville, NC to Johnson City, TN, Andrew and I both decided to cut the tour a few days short and head home after our show that night with Mike Vial at the Acoustic Coffeehouse in Johnson City. I essentially had a mental breakdown and realized a lot of my unresolved issues that the tour was supposed to help me forget about all came flooding back into my brain and really made me miss the comfort zone of home. Andrew also missed his friends and loved ones, so we drove 12.5 hours straight through from Johnson City, TN back to Mt. Pleasant. We will make it up to you soon, Notre Dame. Hopefully y’all had fun with Ratboy and Nathan K. without us!

On Saturday we played at Woobie’s Bar in Flint, MI with our pals Elliot Street Lunatic, Good Weather For Airstrikes, Tiger! Tiger! and a few more bands. It was a nice welcome back of sorts and it felt good to play our music for some familiar faces, as well as some new ones as we had not yet played in Flint since Wavvy Hands formed. Andrew and I both played a show there in early 2011 as V + The Nicotine Machine and Galactic Vacationer, respectively.

Today we played the kickoff luau for Relay For Life at CMU. It was an unusual setting, but we enjoyed it none the less. We were asked to play at the Relay itself in April on campus and we are going to try to make it work, though that will be a busy week for us!

Currently we’re waiting to hear back from some music festivals we’ve applied for as well as some other shows we are hoping to play support on for some bigger national acts. We’ll be recording on Wednesday with Moore Media Records at CMU for their “Live from Studio A” sampler that will come out in April and then we play Thursday at Founder’s in Grand Rapids with Life Size Ghost and Elliot Street Lunatic, followed by Saturday at Rubble’s in Mt. Pleasant with Elliot Street, Good Weather for Airstrikes and Tiger! Tiger!

It’s a busy time for Wavvy Hands. It’s exciting and exhausting all the same.

Our EP “A Million Eyes” is also now available for download on our Bandcamp page.
It’s a “name your own price” set up for the digital version. If you pay ANYTHING for the EP, we will email you a brand new track called “Stethoscope” that we just finished last night and have not yet even played live. We’ll be playing it on Thursday night and throughout the tour, but you can get an exclusive sneak peak by paying even just $1 for our EP on our Bandcamp.
