April 21st

April 21st

We played an unexpected show at the elbo room last night, just Matt and I. Since Kevin couldn't make it, we tried our best to get by without the sweet melodic gestures of his rhythmic bass. Over all it was fun and the crowd seemed to enjoy it.

I tried to get some shots of us during the set but I kept forgetting in between songs. Before we played the last song (burning sun) I got my camera out and took a few quick shots, then rushed to get the tambourine.

When your label are your friends, and your friends are your label

When your label are your friends, and your friends are your label

Our friend Justin from our label had some things to share....

I think it's safe to speak for everyone when I say that we at Yes and Yes are super proud and happy to have It's Ok, Be Anxious be one of our first releases. I think it's also safe to say that the album perfectly captures the state of mind that we're in at this point in our lives. You see, the city is a tricky place. When your immersed in it you soak in the sense of utter possibility that surrounds you. Anything seems possible, your dreams run wild. Yet most of the joys of life here are coupled with burdens that creep up and flip-sides of the coin that aren't quite what they seem at first. The power of potential here is no different. What seems to be an encouragement can turn on you and suddenly you find yourself dismayed by the possibility of not achieving all that you can. It seems silly but the what-ifs have a stronger pull here. Anxiety creeps in. BUT here we are, we're pushing through and it's ok. We'll be anxious when the time comes to be but we won't stop. So cheers to dreams and the future.
Justin
