This Could Have Been an Email
We present our new song This Could Have Been an Email as our own love letter, a plea for connection in the aloof era of e-correspondence and the telecommute, a song that humanizes the myriad mundane and fleeting moments from nine to five.
Mark Erdody Benefit – Middle East, Cambridge
We’ll be performing at the upcoming benefit show for Mark Erdody at the Middle East in Cambridge on Saturday, June 8th.
Mark was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in November and he has been undergoing Chemotherapy every other week since then. Mark has been a staple in the Boston Rock scene since the late ’80’s and having a rock show benefit just makes sense. The afternoon show will be Rock bands and the evening show will be solo performances by some of Mark’s musical heroes playing a few songs from their back catalog. There may be a few surprise performers that the event planners are working on.
Tickets available at THIS LINK.
As always, keep an eye on our socials or our Upcoming Shows page for new announcements.
Floating Holiday
Here’s a clip from our latest practice space video: Floating Holiday. If a room full of gorillas were given floating holidays, would they type out Macbeth on a beach?
May your floating holidays be ever buoyant.
Selectric Funeral
Today we present to you “Selectric Funeral”: our entry for this year’s Tiny Desk Contest and our first piece to include an electric typewriter.
We’re hoping we won’t get the Bob Dylan treatment, but why don’t Judas have a listen and draw your own conclusions?

Left Blank
The boss had us reinvent the wheel, so we thought we’d kick the tire.
Here’s a new one we’re submitting to NPR Music for this year’s Tiny Desk Contest. It’s called “Left Blank.”
Seeing as we *only* play desk concerts, we think we’ve got a good shot.

Delegation: The Remixes
New Music Announcement!
Starting Tuesday September 14th and concluding on November 30th, we released a song a week from our new album “Delegation,” a collection of remixes of your favorite all-typewriter band from your favorite non-all-typewriter musicians. Guests include: Blood Wine or Honey, Sexparty, U People, Bob Nastanovich from Pavement, Brian Dewan, ZIZZA, Full of Hell, Jake Zavracky, among others.
We are delighted to collaborate with these talented and diverse artists. The opportunity to recontextualize our music has not only deepened our love of these tracks, but expanded our own vision for future music. We are honored to share these tracks with you, and look forward to your support this fiscal quarter and beyond.
From the boardroom to the mailroom,
-BTO
