Lorenzo's MusicSome stills from our episode of The Live &amp; Unfiltered Show this week. <br> <br> We start off with a song from our setlist. During the show, I tell the band about what a bird did to my car. In our songwriting segment called "Workin' it out!", we work on learning a song called Variation witch. With a little background music I read some upcoming news.<br> <br> You can check out live band practice podcast on our YouTube Channel <a href="https://yt.openinapp.co/oxs20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://yt.openinapp.co/oxs20</a><br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/music?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#music</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/livestream?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#livestream</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/songwriting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#songwriting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bandpractice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bandpractice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alternativerock?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alternativerock</a>

Kyla Tilley<p>Mostly normal schedule this week except no TikTok on Thursday as I've got an early tattoo appointment, and expect Friday morning's TikTok to be largely a capella.

Arend (they) 🏳️‍⚧️🍉<p>My forthcoming record celebrates queerness, confronts US Christian nationalism and evangelical bigotry, and marks an attempt at a spirituality for resistance. It's nearly done, and I'm so glad to get to share it with you soon. Today I woke up with a sense of relief like I haven't felt in a long time.

But in recent years, he's making an effort to focus on the positive, as evidenced by hopeful songs like 'The Sun Hasn't Left,' in which he sings, 'You're not wrong, things are a mess but there's still something left.' 'I found optimism where it actually existed because I needed it,' he told NME in 2021, adding, 'Y'know, I got three kids ... I don't think s***'s gonna get easier for everyone.'
