During 2020 and 2021, while many music venues were still shuttered, the group began touring, sweating their way through cuts Dillon and Haas had composed during quarantine writing sessions. Locking in on stage, it quickly became clear the band was functioning at a level that made the hair on their arms stand at attentioneven for three live music veterans accustomed to life on the road. It became obvious to let this become a collaboration, Dillon says. This is really something all three of us are doing because we have so much love for one another and a love for the music that we started creating.Theres only three of us, but we move together like a big, nasty school of fish, Haas adds, laughing.
