Fear Not the Fire

Greetings, fellow humans! Insert "finally remembered our password" jokes here 🤓. In the mad dash to finish our album last year and start promoting it, we sort of completely forgot to do anything with this platform. I don't know how many of you keep tabs on Oh Geeez, Not Again music on Tumblr, but if that's you - we're glad you're here and we hope you're doing ok. 🙂 Wanted to catch you up to speed on the big events of our expedition since last June.

1. Our album MAPMAKER is out now! 🗺️

Telling the story of leaving the comforts of home for the limitless dangers and possibilities of the forest. MAPMAKER is a coming of age story that at some point all of us must face.

Along the way, you’ll find joy, defeat, fear, acceptance, and maybe even defy the odds and get the happy ending you’ve always dreamed of. But the only way to find out is to start. To leave behind the familiar and face the unknown. 

Pack your boots and jacket, and put a song in your heart. Your expedition departs now 🌲

Listen to MAPMAKER on all platforms here:

2. We played our first headlining show!!

To celebrate the release of MAPMAKER, we were honored to take the stage at Anodyne Coffee for our first-ever headlining show! It was an amazing night, and we were grateful to share the moment with so many of our friends!

We captured the moment in our latest music video. Catch the video for "Mapmaker" - the album's title track - right here:

3. Our year-end Livestream from Park Street

To close out 2024, we had the opportunity to go live on YouTube from Port Washington's Park Street studios. It was an honor to spend the afternoon with the fine folks at Park Street and virtually send out the year of MAPMAKER with friends from around the world!

Tune in to the full stream here:

4. WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!!! 🚐

We're so excited to announce that we'll be taking the Oh Geeez, Not Again expedition to more folks than ever before this year! Our first mini BLAZE A TRAIL tour kicks off on April 1, and we hope that we'll get to see YOU there! While this is a small start, we hope that it will lead to bigger things down the road. It is our goal to bring our expedition to the whole world some day!

Tickets and current information are listed here on our all-new website. Info will be updated as final ticket links become available! Hope to see you on the road:

Finally, as 2025 looks to be a year of upheaval around the world, we hope that our music can be a space of inspiration for you wherever you are on your journey. We're so fortunate to have such a diverse and creative group of friends and followers who we've met through our music, and the whole message of MAPMAKER is finding a way to hold onto your dreams and passions in a world that wants to strike them down. Whatever it is that you're getting up for every day, I hope that it sustains you through the times of doubt and fear. And whenever the monsters should find you, we hope you hear the words of "Conifer":

Fear not the fire, the glowing eyes They deal delusion, they seek divides But should they trap you, the trees will give you rest

I hope that our music can be one of those sheltering trees for you. We make these songs for all of you, and if they inspire you to keep creating, believing, or simply existing, then that's the greatest honor to us.

Safe travels, - Sean 🧡

I lied. Put your clothes back on. I haven’t seen my wife in twelve years and I need to find a way to evade Poseidon, so if you could just un-pig my men-

My friend just introduced me to Epic the Musical and it's a problem cause I'm obsessed now. I don't know how I've never heard of this before it's so good. And there's fan animatics and they slap super hard???

[butchcaseyjones]

do YOU like epic: the musical?

did you watch epic materialize as a project, and hope to experience it again someday? were you late to the party, and wished that you could've been there since the beginning?

musician grace yurchuk on tiktok (also found on instagram and youtube) is in the process of making a julius caesar musical!!!! it's based on the shakespeare play, but supplemented with historical facts. a concept album is in development, after which she plans to get the musical onto the stage!

take a look at one of her songs:

some fun facts about the musical:

it's being written for a cast of female voices!

although it's only halfway written, there is already some fanart and animatics out there, and they're excellent!

grace is super interactive with the fanbase :)

brutus and cassius have gay energy. as they should.

HERE are the different places you can find her:

Why is Tumblr, the IDES OF MARCH site, the one place we CELBRATE BRUTUS STAB STAB STABING HIS FRIEND, is not talking about the TikTok woman who is planning a Julius César musical adapting the Shakespeare play with a tiny bit of historical realism (is not historical just more than Shakespeare). The songs are sooo good and so clever. Someone give her the Epic treatment asap because she does want to actually cast people and make this a full concept album and we need it.

Here is a link to her page.

Older sisters with intense female rage when they hear

“CLOWNS ARENT FUNNY POP POP POP”

[chupenguin]

I know there's no plans to stage Warriors but please i need to see it i need a light or somethin staged in a circular platform hadestown style??? they talking in the dark and following each other??? sawn in shadows, mercy a little more in the light until they meet in the middle??

[soapcan18]

Bro my surprise when I listened to Warriors for the first time and a full-blown METAL SONG started playing was off the charts. Kim Dracula’s vocals as Luther are INSANE. They perfectly portrayed the lunatic-high-on-victory vibe Luther has. I also love Cropsy being his little backup.

[fornaxvoid]

Recorded between 2020 and 2023, finalized in 2024, 'Music for Dystopian Concrete Buildings: The Future of Void Corp.' is a concept album project crafted exclusively with pre-year-2000 hardware synthesizers as an homage to dystopian 1990s ambient game soundtracks.

Types of concept albums:

some guy just absolutely goes crazy loses it

immortality is awful

death (that's it. the concept is death.)

the most complicated and convoluted plotline about life and love and death and war and science and religion and folk mythology and time and politics and existentialism and hope and mental illness and personal responsibility and a dictatorial regime and ai and art and philosophy and the human soul and the apocalypse and the lyrics are all metaphorical and vague and there's like so much expanded lore that can only be found in the notes of a limited edition release in Slovakia from 10 years ago and scattered across 5 different interviews from the digital branch of a french music magazine and try as you might you'll never understand it at all but there's some guy on a niche music review forum that pieced it all together in 2012

[poolboyatthegiovannimansion]

[fearlessechoes]

So i just watched Quadrophenia yesterday and guys… Jimmy looks like the love child of Keith Moon and Pete Townshend in my opinion

Do you guys see my vision?

I also made this meme… is this anything?
