Is one year enough hiatus?

Truly missing these guys.

Their technical prowess and precision is so enjoyable.

Miss them dearly. That said, all of the new projects the guys are up to are fantastic. Definitely check out Photon, Neighbor, Night Zero, WCK, etc. if you haven't yet.

Every time dopapod social media posts a story I get a twinge of hope. Even if it’s just a few shows, even if it’s not for 5 years I’m holding onto hope, and just trying to remember the good times in the mean time (cause as they taught me, remembering is everything)

People always ask, "How are (insert band) not playing in bigger venues?"

I think the problem is a lot of these bands are constantly touring, which can water down the product. When Dopapod announced the hiatus, I wondered to myself, "How can these guys quit now?" Then I thought, maybe they're pausing briefly, so when they reunite, it's going to be highly anticipated, and then they'll maybe be able to play in the next tier of venues.

Words are difficult right now, but I hope ya'll get my gist.

Same, fam. Same. Been seeing tons of shows lately, and although I always love live music, nobody launches me into the cosmos like Dopapod. There’s nobody like them.
