HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY! This is one of my fav performance pics because of the huge LGBTQ flag that was up at Club Congress behind me. Of course, we can’t see the whole flag but being nonbinary, I’ve always loved how the Trans flag colors are what were captured in this picture.
Hopefully this week has been treating you all well, and if not, thankfully the weekend is coming soon and you can always reach out to us on instagram if you just need to talk. <3
In our last newsletter, we were still gearing up for our latest release, “Country Gay.” It took us almost a whole year from the date it was recorded, to its actual release date, and none of us were expecting the level of success it had.
In all honesty, “Country Gay,” was a wild card. We’d been playing it live for about two years before it finally got recorded, and about half of the time it was a total flop on stage. for some reason, the energy in the crowd would drastically dip and we had to calculate what crowds would like it, instead of throwing it in when we felt like it, as we do with most of our other songs.
We knew there was a handful of fans that were itching for its release, but our monthly spotify listeners didn’t jump up just a few ten or twenty or even a hundred.
We went from from about 200 to 2,600 monthly listeners . WILD. It’s only been out for about a month and a half, but it’s steadily catching up to songs like Aphrodite and She’s a Rat, which have been out for years.
So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening and thank you for supporting us. Numbers don’t equate to dollar signs for us- they equate to real people who actually care and/or relate to what we have to say through our music. So again, truly, thank you all so much.
We’ve released an acoustic video of Country Gay on our YouTube channel (which you should totally subscribe to), and will be releasing an acoustic recording onto streaming platforms around mid-July.
In other news, we’re doing our first Live Radio Show!!!!
It’ll be on KXCI 91.3FM, Monday night from 9-10pm. Personally, I’ve been wanting Tonight’s Sunshine on the KXCI Locals Only show for years, so I was ecstatic when they asked.
We’ll do a few short, live sets with interviews in between, and you can tune in on the actual radio, their website and listen to it live, or if you happen to miss it- it’ll be up on their website’s Locals Only page for two weeks.
It’ll be super fun and if you do happen to tune in, take a video and tag us! We’d love to see some fan reactions. ☺️
Alright Space Cadets, I’m clocking off for today. Stay safe and remember to wear goggles and cover up tattoos at protests.
Love,
Firekid
