Our tour is over, and overall everything went super super good! we had a lot of fun with all the shows and with sean playing drums, and hanging out with life looks good. bringing the skate punk revival to the people is hard work but its worth it. hopefully we can do this again eventually!
so what is next for long birds??
well we dont know, we need a full time drummer, so we probably wont be playing shows for a bit. mina and i also have a handful of songs that arent finished and song ideas that we want to make. we just dont know our plan for a next release. a single? ep? another full length?? if you (the reader) have any ideas please let us know.
at this time we are also moving out of champaign and will be relocating to our former home of the chicago suburbs.
please say hi to us in our guestbook, we like seeing the messsages!

Ah, hello my friends. It has been a while since an update. There are some things I would like to share with you all. Right now we have a new shirt design on our bandcamp! AND our other shirts are on sale!! Very very cool right?
We also got our vinyl last month, and are soon getting the jackets. These will be shipping very soon! I am so excited for this! The records are so cool so far.
Now time for some bad news. We are going through a bit of a lineup change, John will be departing the band. We had a great run with him and we loved having him in the band. We might not be playing any shows for a bit while we reboot the band.
We played some really cool and fun shows since I last updated this site. Hopefully we can get back to doing that very soon. I am going to try to update this site a more often, at least in the blog section.
Anyways, thank you for reading, and thank you for your support. Whoever you are, reading this website, you are incredible <3

Long time no update! Whats up everyone? We've had a lot going on over the last two months so heres some updates! 1. We got the test pressings in for our album and they sounded great! also did a giveaway on our instagram for one of them! We have 4 left now so who knows what will happen with those? 2. We played a really cool show in Carbondale at the Lost Cross House. It was probably the coolest place that we have ever played!! 3. We met Scumbag Skippy in person. It was great lol 4. I added a lyrics page with all the lyrics from IHADIWS!
We had this really cool 5-day tour planned for this month, today would have been the first day but sadly due to all the covid cases we decided to cancel the whole thing. That's okay though, well plan another one this summer.
New youtube video coming soon! We will be covering a song we like. Also going to update this site more and add a new page soon!

Mina and I writing some bangers and we are planning to record an EP in a few months once we have our songs solidified! That is all for now!!

Hey! Long time no see!! We released our album on November 5th and we are sooo happy it is out! I hope everyone is enjoying it so far! It feels great to finally put all this music out since we have been working on it for so long! (some of the songs took years to write :O) Huge thank you to everyone who has bought the album or a shirt from us since it's release! It really means a lot to us that people are supporting what we are doing! We have a few really cool shows coming up in November and December, and hopefully a short tour in January! Check our socials to stay updated with all that! We post the most on Instagram.
Possible Site Updates? : I was thinking of adding a lyrics page, right now the only place to see the lyrics is our bandcamp.
Thanks for listening!! <3

-Update the game page?(maybe)
-Add a fan art/meme section so I can share the memes that scumbag skippy sends to us
-More things to click on and more fun pages
-Better mobile formatting?(probably not)
