Wow, new stuff from KSE gives me metal goosebumps. I’ve been a huge fan of these guys all the way back to their first album in 2000. Their live shows are always amazing.

The last time I saw them, Adam D came out and said, “Wow, Minneapolis, this is an amazing new venue and we are here to take a huge sonic shit on it” Hahaha. Amazing dudes, to boot.

Stoked for the entire album and amazing tour with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul. It kicks off on March 5 in Nashville and runs through April 12 in Portland, Maine.

Love,
Dr Mike

If you...

Wind.Salt.And your favorite nerd getting rag-dolled just enough to make the session spicy. South Padre went full send this week and somehow…your boy pulled off the double-double. Hit the Big Air Leaderboard and the Distance Leaderboard — two days in a row. 16 foot jump height (Big Air USA) + 67.5 km (Distance Global/North America).Two doubles. Two days. Two mildly terrified but very stoked quads. And yes — I even snuck into the global list, sand still in my teeth and my kite looking like it...

Hola from S Padre TX— where the wind is howling like a metal concert in a wind tunnel and your favorite nerd is about to get yanked into low-Earth orbit by a very caffeinated kite.

And as I’m rigging my gear for another round of “let’s see if Mike survives...
