We’re standing on the edge of August, but there’s still some summer left in the tank. Today we’re downright stoked to announce our return to the Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh, NC! It’s our home away from home. Next week, we’ll be joining Hometapes official festival performers All Tiny Creatures, The Caribbean, and Family Dynamics — and we’ll be hosting our second Friend Island NC alongside our native friends Trekky Records. In addition to a striking roll call of sponsors, two rad venues, and secondary performances from our Hopscotch artists, we’re revealing the highly-anticipated solo appearances of two men you may recognize: Matthew White (Fight The Big Bull, Spacebomb Records) debuting the earth-shaking music from his upcoming album and Sunless (a.k.a. Adam of Hometapes) performing for the first time in a decade.
