tl:dr version – Self is back, playing a full band Benefit Show and teasing fans with a new music sampler.
Long winded version – I am, admittedly, a huge Self fan. However, it’s been a very long time since Self fans had any substantial news. A song here or there has been released or an acoustic show with friends.. all great treats but not harkening back to the days of ole quite enough. So, when this Benefit show at Exit/In was announced I was shocked. A full band – Matt Mahaffey, Mac Burrus, Chris James, Jason Rawlings, guests – set to take the stage at least this one more time. Oh, AND they released this sampler of new material hinting that there may be something larger looming on the horizon. I suggest you get tickets before they sell out because I’m pretty sure they will sell out.
