❤️💚Pop Punk Indy THIS Saturday, Holiday Shows, and more!💙🖤

Tuff Fans, Friends, and Enthusiasts,

HallowGreen was truly insane and memorable and sold out. Joe’s Live was a serious party. TUFF TAYLOR was outrageous. Indiana University is actually taking party to the next level. Defying Gravity and Black Parade are huge hits. The word is in:

“The Fall 2025 Sell Out No Sell Out Tour is fucking extreme” -a wise individual.

And still the fans are asking, “Are the shows actually selling out tho, or is the band selling out?” Well, TBH, a combo of both. Most of the shows HAVE sold out, but on the occasion they didn’t, we, as a band, sold out hard, on stage, for everyone to see. Gucci long shorts, drinking Cristal on ice with lemon, only Creed for the entire second set, turning our backs to the crowd for songs at a time, Rod doesn’t act silly, no low voice, no chugs, that sort of thing. It’s an intense experience, so honestly, whichever show you get, “SOLD OUT”, or “SELL OUT”, consider yourself lucky to just be alive at this moment in history, really!

JK, but do get your tickets now. We’re having too much fun onstage these days, and the band is on fire, so come get some! Check out upcoming shows down below, and scroll to the bottom to see what we’re into these days, music/books/tv wise. Click here for a Shorty RodCast, on pop-punk and Dire Straits.

Hope to see you soon!

Made it to the end of the Email? Have a TREAT!

For today’s treat, the boys share what they’re into!

Dick Celebrity:

“I’ve been really enjoying Female British pop artists! It started with:

Cher Lloyd (Want U Back, Just Be Mine, Ur love, None Of My Business, M.F.P.O.T.Y.) Hard for me to understand why she never got bigger! Her two albums are so good.

Then I started loving Little Mix, a girl group formed on Britain’s X-Factor (Black Magic and Hair are two perfect pop songs.)

Then, OMG, I recently got into Maisie Peters. She’s British Taylor Swift, all due respect to the Queen. I’m probably one of the last Swifties across the Maisie finish line, because she opened for Eras Tour shows, but her songs are just so catchy, hooky and poppy, with total Taylor sensibilities to the song writing. If you love Tay and haven’t gotten into Maisie, you are in for a massive treat!

Lastly, obvi all praise to the Queen. Life of a Showgirl is great, we’re playing Opalite, and I’m just enjoying living the life of a Showboy, every weekend.

C.C. Ryder:

Music: Chrono Trigger LoFi - music from my favorite videogame of all time (from 1995, of course), remixed in the “lofi/chill” style that makes my dining room feel like a coffeeshop! Great for getting work done while also sitting in a warm bath of nostalgia. Bonus: you can probably search for any videogame soundtrack + “lofi” and get a great result!

Nutrition: I finally bit the bullet and got a nutrition coach, because I just can’t figure out what/how/how much to eat by myself. She got my calories and macros dialed in, and I’m using MyFitnessPal to track. I tried this before but I always quit because I didn’t have anyone to be accountable to! Community and accountability are everything to me when it comes to accomplishing goals.

TV: catching up on Black Mirror, we fell behind!

Movies: Alyssa and I really enjoyed WEAPONS. I won’t say anything about it but it was well-made and enjoyably creepy!

Food: we went to the Duck Inn for the second time and it was a lot of fun. Incredible cocktails. One dish was bad but I sent it back and got a duck fat hot dog instead which was FIRE!

Rod Tuffcurls:

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, the band Geese, working those legs, and the Chicago Bears.

Marty Freeze:

Lots of New Music. Current faves: oklou, AURORA, G Flip, Orla Gartland, The Beths.

Seeing movies at the Music Box. Recently: One Battle After Another, Lawrence of Arabia.

And hanging with Joule! (pictured below)

STAY HYDRATED! SEE YOU ON THE ROAD!
