It's that time again: Aberdeen Junebug season. We've got a new album out in the universe and we wanted the good people of Aberdeen to join us in the celebration of Stan,Vol. 1, available now at all the regular digital retailers and streaming services. As Anthony said tonight, it's an album release with no physical album. All digital, baby. 'Cause we're hip to the times, yo.

We started the night with some familiar favorites from previous releases, but then headed right into the story of Stan in its entirety. "The story of life, love, and junk food," as Anthony remarked tonight.

After an extended jam on Veronica, and Dustin remarked on how much is cost us to license the song from Junebug, we veered from the album track list to pay tribute to David Bowie, who is greatly loved by us all.

Media darlings.

We got back on track with The Date, which Anthony pointed out included some "under the shirt" action happening in the crowd. As it should be. He asked if the dude wanted to clone the lady. Boom. Natural segueway.

After a solid first set, andafinereception to the "new" tunes, we took a break to towel off. Because, after all, as Anthony and Dustin reminded everyone, that sweat comes from love. And our love isn't disgusting. Guaranteed.*

*Not a guarantee. Love sweat may actually be disgusting.

To begin Round Two, we paid tribute to the mighty Tom Petty whom we lost recently. . He was an influence on us all, and he will be missed.

The second set consisted of good ol' favorites that got the booties shakin'. Anthony mentioned that a certain mother of his requested a certain song about a certain person who worked at a certain fast food joint. Whether she was referring to Bad Mamma Jamma or not, that's what we played. She danced. I think it was good. Dustin mentioned that we play this song sometimes, but it never gets the reaction it does when we play it in Aberdeen. Some dude yelled out, "It's because we all work at Wendy's!" Touché.

Anthony revealed tonight that the moon originated right here outside Aberdeen at Mina Lake.We then paid tribute to our moon overlord by playing Moon Over the Water.

They called for an encore. But Dustin wasn't sure, due to the sweat in his eyes. He asked for an eye massage, but no one answered the call. Regardless, we closed out the night with a stirring rendition of that old Aberdeen favorite, Downtown Liquor Store.

Aberdeen didn't disappoint, once again. After the show we had some hugs and beers with many friends, new and old. We LOVE playing here. Lamar has a good thing going with Slackers. We can't wait to see you all again.

It's always fun to play at Twin Cities Pride. It's definitely a highlight for us every time we do it. There's always so much love in the air, and we are proud to be allies to our friends and family who identify as members of this community. Not to mention, the stage crew is always super friendly and good at what they do.

Today's set was pretty straightforward, short, and sweet, consisting mostly of material from the upcoming album Stan. But the theme was mostly about love and togetherness. It's so nice to play in Loring Park, and it was a beautiful day too. Happy Pride, Twin Cities!
