Philly Jays

Nah, this ain't it. We're out. We hardly tweet, but when we do, we'll be doing it on Bluesky instead - bsky.app/profile/philly…. Maybe we'll be inclined to do it more when there's not so many Nazis around. See ya.

We are SO DAMN EXCITED that our debut album Hope Is For Hopers is available on viny for the first time ever! Possibly not quite as excited as the most excellent Nas from @SuitcaseRecords is, but really, who could be? Get your copy via the link in our bio before they sell out!

@jonnoseidler Haha indeed. Was it when the truck broke down trying to turn around in that tiny laneway?

@phillyjays Yep!

On this day 15 years ago, we decided (somewhat stupidly) to launch our album Hope Is For Hopers by playing SEVEN shows in one day - six of them on the back of a truck all around Sydney and the last one on the rooftop at the Abercrombie Hotel. Was anyone at any of the shows?

Happy National Philly Jays Day!!!

@jacobkye Hearing your own music played back can be a bit strange, but that one is the exception. Genuinely love it, even if that's probably conceited.

@phillyjays The Good News 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is THE official 15th Anniversary of us releasing Hope Is For Hopers out into the world. What was your favourite song? Or is it too hard, like trying to choose your favourite child?

@flowerlandfilms Practice. Make sure you know EVERY lyric to EVERY song. Practice some more. Learn every guitar lick. Be prepared to take over the show. Copy Berkfinger's mannerisms. This is your time.

@phillyjays I already got mine, what do I do now?!

So this is really happening! It's the 15th Anniversary tour of Hope Is For Hopers!!! We're going to be playing the whole album in full as well as a bunch of other songs you'll love too.

Can you believe it's been 15 years since we took our first press shot in Berkfinger's kitchen (hard to believe, but we actually weren't really in the desert)? I think it's time we all celebrated. I mean, I don't want to party, but ...

Does anyone else get unreasonably angry when you unwrap a new album to discover it's spread over 2 LPs? Flipping the vinyl THREE TIMES destroys the whole mood of an album. It sucks so hard.
