Our European tour starts in 3 weeks!

Hello, friends!

We are, at this moment, three weeks out from the first show of our upcoming European tour, which is also a first! Since we last wrote to you, several new dates have been added, including that inaugural event in Mayen, Germany! We're now playing eighteen shows across six countries, and we truly CAN'T WAIT. If we're coming anywhere near you from May 15th to June 6th, please join us at the shows! It's been a years-long goal to do this; unreal that it's almost here!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

In other live news, we're thrilled to announce that we're playing Ripple Fest Texas in September; another first! Details to come, but we know our event is September 20th, so mark your calendars!

The next Bandcamp Friday is one week away, on May 1st! If you desire our singular wares (t-shirts, signed vinyl, handwritten lyrics, books, embroidered patches, and cyanotypes), grab them before we leave for Europe! We won't have all of that with us. We'll only have copies of BEAR and special t-shirts printed in Germany for that tour! Everything is new; everything is exciting. We're grateful.

See you soon!

Happy Spring, pals!

We had a powerful time on our February-March tour; thanks so much to everyone who played, worked, hosted us, and came out! We finally debuted DRAIN in a live setting, played outside in a residential neighborhood in Richmond, and even threw down in a motorcycle clubhouse in Savannah. What's not to love?

We have two more shows in the States next month: TN Brew Works in Nashville on April 4th, and Reggie's Music Joint in Chicago on April 10th. And then we head out on our first European tour in May! We're thrilled to share the updated schedule with you, including three new shows in Germany and one in Belgium!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

Thanks for the love around the one-take video for IMPERFECT! We appreciate it!

Last, in fun merch news: we have rad new embroidered logo patches, Buick found eight of the hand-rendered cyanotypes of the MASS album cover, and we have a handful of the BEAR LP + lyrics bundles left. All are on Bandcamp alongside a host of other fun items; enjoy!

See you soon; we love you!

We're heading to Europe this Spring! But first, the Southeast next month!

Hello and happy new year, friends!
While 2026 is off to an intense start at best, we're still looking forward to getting out and being loud in February and beyond! Our co-headlining tour dates with Temptress kick off on the 18th, and there has been one noteworthy change: February 25th will now find us in Miami as opposed to Jensen Beach, FL. Miami is Buick's hometown, and not only have we never played there, she's never played there. Momentous occasion! We've also added a Chicago show to our solo dates in April! We'll see you pals in one of our favorite cities on the 10th.

AND THEN: Europe! Our first time! Thrilled to announce our May-June dates, starting in the Netherlands and ending in Luxembourg! Assorted shows in Germany, France, and Slovakia in between. We truly can't wait. We've been working toward this for what feels like an eternity. And finally, here we come!

All dates and corresponding tickets here.

In physical media news, we have all shirt sizes back in stock for our BEAR vinyl bundles on Bandcamp! The next Bandcamp Friday is February 6th, but it's always a good time to buy music from artists! In recognition of our first album DAVE turning a full decade old on February 12th, all vinyl orders between now and the end of February will include a free copy of that record on black 12" vinyl! 

Thank you for being here, and we'll see you next month and beyond!

In solidarity and resistance to all abuses of power, always,

Huge thanks for 2025!🌿

Dear friends:

A quick note to thank you for your time, attention, and support all throughout 2025! It's a been a huge year for us. We signed to Magnetic Eye Records, released our fourth album BEAR—from which we put forth seven singles with corresponding music videos, toured both coasts and a bunch in the middle, and were able to connect with new and old friends alike. Thank you. Without you, it's a one-sided conversation; we appreciate you being on the other end of the line!

As much as we're reflecting on all that has happened in 2025, our sights are already set on 2026! We're thrilled to share the details of our first shows of the year, a co-headlining tour with our pals in Temptress, as well as a Nashville show in April! All dates below. Mark your calendars, and we'll be sure to see some of you soon.

Thank you again, truly, and happy holidays!

All our best,
Buick Audra & Jerry Roe,

Friendship Commanders

Bandcamp Friday today & we have new offerings for you!🌿

Friends!

Today is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and we've added some new things for the occasion, like handwritten lyrics to the songs from BEAR, rendered by Buick Audra! Available bundled with vinyl or as standalone offerings. We've also added our remaining shirts to the vinyl bundles! You sold us out of the CD bundles and album cover shirts (thank you!), but if you're looking for LPs, logo t-shirts, lyrics, and pins, we've got you covered! We'll even gift wrap items for you if you request it at the time of purchase. Just shoot us a note! 

FRIENDSHIP COMMANDERS ALBUMS & MERCH

We're still reeling from the incredible time we had on tour these past couple months. The November leg was such a powerful stretch for us, thank you for making it so!

With massive appreciation and warm holiday wishes!

DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS video & essay out today!🌿

Dear friends,
Today, we bring you the seventh video from our new album, BEAR: DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS. This is the closing track on the record; part brutal observation, part wish for something better. Buick wrote the song months after learning about the death of Reena Virk, a fourteen-year-old Canadian girl who was killed by her peers in 1997. The story didn't leave Buick's mind, so she put it in this song along with her own adolescent experiences with violence, rejection, and displacement. The video is premiering at Metal Epidemic, and Buick has also written an essay for Atwood Magazine, expanding on the subject matter. 

We have chosen to release this work today, November 14th, because it is the anniversary of Reena's death. We offer this up with respect, care, and mindfulness.

The video, directed, shot, and edited by Jerry Roe, is a meditation on loss, remembrance, and being engulfed by water. We hope the music, imagery, and message all connect with you.

We also have two new interviews to share with you today! We discussed all things BEAR and beyond with Bob and Frizz of the Rhythm on the Rocks Podcast, out this week! In addition, Buick is this week's guest on the Pursuing the Muse Podcast, on which she talked with Tom Compton about releasing her solo album ADULT CHILD as well as BEAR in 2025, among other things related to her creative process! Enjoy both!

We're out here on the road, enjoying every minute of this tour! Our remaining 2025 dates take us through several cities in California, the Pacific Northwest, and a final show in Laramie! Check our upcoming stops and we'll see you soon!

We hope you love DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS. Please know how much we appreciate your time, attention, and presence here.

All our best,

Buick Audra & Jerry Roe,
