WHY? Is always amazing. Yoni & Josiah put on a hell of a show and were awesome to get to meet and chat with before. Always a pleasure to see them anytime they are in town! Plus, I love sons of Hermann Hall, a great small intimate venue!

Honestly there’s something truly unique about Why? Yoni and Josiah are truly immensely talented, the fact that a two piece were able to strip down their catalog while still capturing the essence of each song speaks volumes. They’re both very kind whenever I awkwardly approach them at the merch booth or venue. I’m thankful to be on the same planet as them at this moment in time. Why? Inspires me to want to be a better musician myself. Don’t sleep on this band or the extensive work of Yoni & Josiah.

About WHY?
"I'll go unknown by torpedo or Crohn's / Only those evil live to see their own likeness in stone." It's the kind of couplet you'd carve into a wall whilst savoring the irony at hand, but when Yoni Wolf spit the line ten years ago he was blissfully, broodily unaware that he and his band WHY? were creating a career-defining album—one so fan-adored that it would go out of print, and so influential that the art-pop heroine Lorde herself would lovingly steal the very lyric quoted above. When it dropped in 2008, Alopecia not only marked WHY?'s evolution from a sonically collaged mostly solo project to a live-recorded powerhouse band of badass multi-instrumentalists. It also minted a genre of one: wryly written, poignantly posed, simultaneously swaggering and heart-rending song-rap that jangles like folk, bursts like psych-rock, and sways like chamber pop. To this day, there is no other group in the known universe that sounds or feels like WHY? does on Alopecia. The album's 2018 reissue cheekily etches that aural likeness into our musical history.
