A Note From Taylor:
Happy to unleash House Parties into the world today. It’s been a long time coming, as many of you who have seen us play in the last few years can attest. I guess it’s a nostalgic song…A song about how true cultural experiences aren’t in the tourist traps but within human connections among specific communities. It’s a goofy lyric but the sentiment is not. We can all relate to feeling truly alive at a dive bar or a stranger’s home, getting access into a universe we didn’t even know existed…Whether across the planet or just one town over.

How are the first bites?

Stories Don’t End 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Vinyl & Our New Substack

Just in the nick of time too.

And this isn’t the kind of anniversary release where it’s just the original recordings with some bonus stuff at the end. The whole album has been remixed (by our compadre Dave Cerminara) and remastered (by Adam Ayan) and it feels like it’s been given a new life. Even with new art by Ian Bush.

The bonus material includes some acoustic demos, some versions of songs recorded with Blake Mills and Shawn Everett when we were still in the discovery phase, and an outtake of Griff singing an early version of Picture Of A Man.

We’re gonna release it all digitally as well but figured we might as well wait til the new year so that any potential spins aren’t swallowed whole by Mariah Carey and her minions. So for now it’s just vinyl (read this whole post to figure out how to score it for free basically).

AND IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH FOR YOU

We’re also announcing a new Substack account! This is gonna allow us to get a little cozier, dig a little deeper, and go way back into the archives and share the histories of songs, shows and entire albums (starting with ALLLLL of the SDE material we couldn’t fit on this latest offering). It’ll be a place for a bit more intimacy, a bit less brevity and all of the intel we’ve always wanted to share but never had the right platform to.

COOLEST PART COMING UP BELOW

If you subscribe to our founding-member tier on Substack, you get the SDE 10 year vinyl for FREE. YEP, a FREE VINYL RECORD! It doesn’t make a lot of business sense for us. Our managers aren’t proud of this decision. We just like the idea that it can help kick off and accompany this new Substack chapter with the most members of the Dawes family as involved as possible.

Alright, enough from me!

Covering “I Love” by Tom T Hall

We released a cover of a great song today just for fun. It’s a favorite for my good friend #judgecolvin and for my older son, Gus. Ozzie hasn’t weighed in yet. Play it for yer babies – TG

The Live Album is Here

HAPPY RELEASE DAY

You can finally listen to our live album anywhere you stream music! Find it in our Misadventures of Doomscroller Deluxe Edition.

It was a marathon to get through all this material and committing to completely live takes all in one night in the studio. But it lent the performances a sense of urgency bordering on desperation.

These live recordings feel like how these songs were meant to live. I hope you enjoy!

New Song: Interest of Time

Today is the 10th anniversary of Sandy Hook. This song, ‘The Interest of Time’, is about the impossible thought process a parent goes through some version of in the aftermath of such an unthinkable atrocity. I wrote this and sang this before either of my sons were born but I don’t think I’m gonna sing it again. 

It’s a sad song. It would be strange to say I hope you enjoy it. But I hope you find some kind of meaning in it for you. A small effort to bring the humanity back to a desensitizingly regular piece of the news cycle.
-TG

Dawes is donating all of their proceeds from this song to the Brady Campaign / Team ENOUGH, and we want to thank our record label, Rounder Records, for their donation to Brady Campaign / Team ENOUGH.

Watch! Livestream in November

Dawes + Bahamas – Broadcasting from the Englert Theatre in Iowa City on November 15

“I thought I was going into this thing with a future nemesis. But I came out of it with a true friend. Between his good looks, his great tunes and his high regard for self care I was prepared to watch my jealousy take over. But he’s too inspiring of a presence, too kind of a soul, too open hearted and collaborative as a musician.

This tour, and the way we did it, will be a very fond memory in the Dawes history books. To everyone that made it out, thank you. I’m so thrilled that we captured some audio and video to share a little of what this tour was all about. Please enjoy Dawhamas.” – TG
