Hey everyone! It's Chase Karacostas. Do you have Fourth of July plans? More importantly, do you have backup Fourth of July plans? That are indoors? All the rain this week makes me wonder what will happen tonight. 🌧️ 🎇

J’cuuzi releases their debut album, SLUDGEcontent, on July 25 with a release show at Mohawk the following night during Red River Cultural District’s Hot Summer Nights.
