From Ryan Young:
"Hard to believe, but 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of me playing music under the title Off With Their Heads (or
OWTH). What started as a gag experiment in a Minneapolis basement grew into countless lineups taking part in
international adventures big and small. The DIY party project used as a means to get away from real life problems
wound up evolving into a traveling therapy session for many people struggling with their own mental demons. I've
released records on small and giant labels alike. I've booked my own shows and have been on agency rosters. You
name it, I've probably been there. When the pandemic took this away from all of us, it gave some much needed
time to question what it actually is that I like about playing music as I get older. I realized it's a part of me in every
way. I LIKE booking my own shows. I LIKE planning my own tours. I LIKE putting out my own records. I LIKE
making all my own merch. I LIKE being connected to the people that appreciate my music. Somewhere along the
way, I feel like I forgot all of these things. I allowed my own demons to take the wheel and convince me that I didn't
enjoy these things. Well I am happy to finally be able to confidently say that I love what I do.
In the spirit of this, I have decided to get back to how it started. Long time drummer and friend Kyle Manning and I
will be embarking on a 2 piece tour dubbed "The Wandering Duo". This involved both of us getting out of our
comfort zone and playing some of these songs with new arrangements, some traditionally, some beloved covers,
some stories and even some new songs. We will return to zero crew members. We will sell our own merch. We
have repressed all of our old records to take along. We have arranged shows in towns we have either never played
or haven't been to in years. We are searching for the vibe and energy that hooked us all on this in the first place.
That is the sole purpose of the first 3 months of 2023."
