Our next show will be at Maxwell’s in Hoboken on Thursday April 30th. We have been invited to play alongside LA-based powerpop legend Tommy Keene.

Wormburner has somehow been named Unsigned Band of the Week by High Times Magazine. Dude.
Bowery Ballroom with Camper Van Beethevon
Many thanks to everyone who braved the snowstorm and came out to catch us opening for Camper van Beethoven at the Bowery Ballroom. It was our biggest audience to-date, and it was a great honor sharing the stage with one of our all-time favorite bands. Wow.
Here’s a great review of the show, where the Wormburner sound is affectionately (???) described as “narrative-art-house-loud-rock’s-hyperactive-cousin.”

Many heartfelt thanks to everyone who piled in to The Mercury Lounge on Friday nite. The show sold out, and it was a joy to play for such an enthusiastic and festive crowd. This Christmas show is sure to be an annual event.

Home Sweet Hoboken
If you’ve been keeping up with the band, you know that we’ve recently spent quite a bit of time recording in Hoboken, New Jersey. You might even say that Hoboken is our new home base. So we’ve decided to play our next show at Hoboken’s own Maxwell’s, one of the nation’s premier intimate rock clubs. The show is on Friday September 19th, and we’re sharing the bill with the ever-prolific Lifeguard Nights in celebration of their latest record release. How we’ve never played Maxwell’s is a mystery to us, and we’re really looking forward to it. The club is easily accessible va PATH train and NJ Transit. We hope you’ll join us there.
