It's here, it's official and it's gold. Ladies and Germs, I present you with MEGA. It's my new album and it's a hand-screened 10" vinyl record, CD, DVD, two stickers, and custom designed windsurfing board. The windsurfing board won't be released until 2025, but when it comes out, damn! Thank you to Curtis Knapp and all of Marriage records for making MEGA a physical product. Thank you to Matthew Chambers and E*Rock for their amazing designs, drawings and video work. DAMN! This thing is jam-packed with jam-a-roos and all kinds of stuff. I just watched the new and final version of the DVD and it's crazy. Matt Chambers is in charge of most of this thing and DAMN. Kid made some weird stuff. Thank you to Justin Lowe , Chris Hutchinson and Brendan Kennedy for additional video and animation for the DVD. I'm so excited for this release.
Here's a little movie of us putting all of the package together. I shot it yesterday at the Marriage Records HQ before the 6X release party last night at Nocturnal.

Last night we celebrated 6 new releases for Marriage Records including two new Thanksgiving releases. Each release also had a cake to go with it. My MEGA cake was even vegan!
Adrian played a really beautiful set with a makeshift choir made up of some audience members including Dave Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors. Oh yeah, check out his tour dates over at SRR. Here's Dave with Cabel Sasser of Panic. I love the combination of those two people. Awesome photo.
I took a couple photos of Adrian's show and a little movie to capture the choir:

Back to the cake.. with cake sometimes comes a mess.. then you have people all razzed and jazzed on the positivity of the show and friends.. then you get something called Chocolate-Fronts. Totally like gold, silver or platinum, but chocolate instead. Get it? Stuff is gross. Sorry about the swears. I had it, then I lost it.

Lastly we have another photo of Fox Lou Wallace Knapp. What a present and smart little dude. Fox, you are it, dude.
Truly,
Jona
ol' dave and ol' cabel have been photographed together before, if you will recall. They both were, of course, members of the acclaimed 5-person nerd rock group THE BADGERED KINGS. Jona, congratulations on your new arrival! I hope it brings you a bouncing bundle of joy!!!!!
