He also announced via social media that he will be filling in on drums for Waxahatchee’s tour beginning in February. In his Instagram post, he wrote: “i’ve known katie for a super long time and she rules. we played a lithuania/ps eliot/hop along/dangerous ponies super show back in 2010 in Richmond, VA so this all feels very full circle to me.”
