Working through a backlog of videos, I finally uploaded all the shorts from "Skanksgiving" last year to our channel. It was a great show with The Sneaky Heat Missiles, The Book Club, Skankin' Homer, and The Skalarks.

Skanksgiving - a Thanksgiving tradition at Poetry Lounge.

Friends! Our first show in 9 months will be Thursday August 6th, at Poetry Lounge in Millvale, just minutes from downtown.

"Poetry Lounge is more than just a bar — it’s a safe space for expression, connection, and creativity. A cozy dive bar with a craft cocktail soul."

It's small venue with a FANTASTIC menu of original mixed drinks and cocktails. Food is also available. Please check out their website here: https://www.poetrymillvale.com/

If you remember our reverb drenched shows from the original 31st Pub in the late 90's -- this venue will give you those vibes. This show will be **just us, no openers**. We'll go on at 8pm and get you home by bedtime.

We haven't played for a long time because our relationship IS our process -- which is tumultuous. The band is always about to capsize but lately, it never really does. Thankfully we got our latest single, SPIN off the blocks and we have another on coming down the pike just in time for the Poetry Lounge show.

We will of course be playing New Orleans and a bunch of stuff from Pale Blue Day too.

It's a small place so only 100 tickets will be available. Join our email list and we'll let you know as soon as tickets are available: https://sendfox.com/newinvisiblejoy (PLEASE confirm your email address when prompted.)

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
