We can't quite wrap our heads around this, either, but it's true: Camera Obscura's set at Schellraiser's Humboldt Hideaway on May 30 is the only appearance that they've planned in the Western U.S. next spring.

Did we mention that IVY's set at Schellraiser's Humboldt Hideaway is one of just four shows the band has planned to date in 2026? Of course we did – about 50,000 times so far – but we still can't get over the mind-blowing fact that this is happening next year.

Indie music lovers, take note! Camera Obscura, Swervedriver and IVY are coming to the small town of Wells, Nevada, next May to headline Schellraiser's Humboldt Hideaway, a micro-scale, rural music festival that also features White Denim, Hotline TNT, and many more of our favorite bands.

Our campground, as of this morning. I think we were a wee bit premature in wishing everyone a happy spring.

Happy spring, everyone! This winter was one of the drier ones in recent memory. But the snowmelt from the High Schells is still rushing down Duck Creek and into these ponds and wetlands just west of our campground. Fortunately for us, the stretch of road that leads to our property hasn't flooded ...

Ladytron at Schellraiser 2024! The fact that we hosted one of our all-time favorite bands in our very remote home base of McGill NV still blows our minds to this day! [Photo by This Is Reno] @thisisreno.bsky.social @bobconrad.bsky.social #ladytron
