acute.pop

After the success of GROG (out now via Audio Antihero / Tapewormies) and recent sellout shows in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York duo Frog (brothers Danny & Steve Bateman) will be touring the North Eastern United States next month.

They kick off the tour on March 14th, by playing in Pennsylvania for the first time when they go to Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia.

Heading back to New York for March 15th, Frog will headline New York’s legendary Knitting Factory in Manhattan.

On March 16th, they’ll return to Massachusetts for the first time since 2019, making their debut in Somerville at Warehouse Xi.

After a number of quiet years, Frog’s live schedule is beginning to pick up and they’re even teasing a fourth “TBA” date of the tour for March 23. With the band’s popularity continuing to grow over the last few years, these shows represent the first chance fans outside of New York will have had to see them live.

Details on all of Frog’s upcoming dates can be found on Linktree / Songkick.

[song] Do Nothing – Amoeba

acute.pop

Do Nothing are back with a brand new single titled “Amoeba”. It is released with the announcement of their long-awaited debut LP Snake Sideways, which is set for release on June 30.

Speaking of the new track lead vocalist Chris Bailey says: “As far as I remember ‘Amoeba’ is about my girlfriend leaving the house to go to work and be useful, and me laying on the sofa feeling dumb and watching annoying news on TV. It muses about how the media decides what we all care about on a two week rotation – sometimes it feels like we all get angry about something for a few weeks until the TV/internet decides it’s time for us to think about something else. It’s also about the fact that making music can often feel pretty unimportant; some folks are firefighters while I spend all my time massaging my own ego”.

A slightly neurotic and very well-executed number is out with the horror film-inspired music video (directed by Clump Collective) and follows the previously released song “Happy Feet” (which would also be included in the record). If all the above entertainment is not enough for you, Do Nothing went further and did their own album-themed version of the Snake game, designed by Yuck Studios. The top 3 spots on the leaderboard will win some cool prizes. Well, that’s how you promote a record.

The group has also announced a huge set of tour dates for September, October and November. There would be three shows in Italy:
