Single Mothers broke up in 2009, 2011, 2015 and have been playing shows ever since. Founded by Drew Thomson in 2008 Single Mothers only relied on only one main principle: it wouldn’t have any members. For the most part - they have stayed true to that, and only that. Spanning a discography of genera morphing LP’s and a myriad of EP’s the only constant is that none of it sounds the same. Each album has different members, different song writers, different ideas. For a while there were even two versions of the band going at the same time, with completely different people. Through all this Thomson left the band and moved to Swastika, Ontario to be a gold prospector. Single Mothers continued without him.While Thomson was searching for gold in Northern Ontario Single Mothers released their first S/T EP, which they recorded before he left, with Jeremy Bolm’s (Touché Amoré) Secret Voice Records. The band with no members played a sting of shows with different singers before Thomson returned. That EP sent the band touring with Title Fight, Quick Sand, Touché Amore, The Bronx and many others.
The first LP Negative Qualities was recorded twice, produced by Joby Ford (The Bronx) and came out in 2014 - 10 years ago, on XL Records imprint Hot Charity to critical acclaim and led to festival appearances like Pitchfork Fest, Redding & Leeds, Primavera Sound, Riot Fest and many others. Then, as Single Mothers were picking up speed, they fell apart and started over.
Now, 10 years later - in celebration of the record that tried to K*ll them, they’re back to play it in full. “These are the best songs from the worst years of my life.” Thomson recounts, “and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Everytime I've witnessed Lakeland's Dagger, they've been punishing and in your face, sweat, heat, broken strings, their singer/screamer Megan crashing through the crowd or surfing above them, not a set to be missed for sure.

The combination of Dave Decker and Richie Lawler is one of Florida legend. Every band this duo has been a part of has been one to experience and has been a huge component of the Florida music underground whether it's been Clairmel, VSJR, Too Many Daves, Sandspur City, etc. The latest incarnation is Big Sad. The first album was a bit of a sleeper hit, Decker finding a rebirth of sorts, but they've grown and gained more present, fueled by a sense of 'young 'til i die' mentality and Decker's experience documenting the fucked up social injustices local and nationally. Honored to have them providing support for this intimate engagement and sharing their art with y'all.
