In this episode, we share the story of playing the iconic Knitting Factory in Hollywood—easily one of the nicest venues we ever stepped foot in. Great sound, real green room, good food... it actually felt like we belonged on a real tour.
While we were there, we met Mark Wolfson from Playtone Records (yes, the label from That Thing You Do), who showed genuine interest in what we were doing. He even gave us his card and set up a follow-up showcase. Around the same time, we also played for Drive-Thru Records in a rented rehearsal space… which didn’t go quite as well.
It was a moment where everything felt possible—and we learned just how wild, unpredictable, and exhausting the chase for a record deal could really be.
