HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our wonderful, musical, hilarious, energetic, amazing NATALIE! 🥳🎂 today is her day! think of her, listen to some DreamStates, go bowling, and wish our lovely catbird a very happy day! that's the best way to celebrate~ 🎶🥰

IT’S DREAMSTATES DAY! 8 years ago today, we released our first half of our first album, “Parts One & Two”. The song “Limbo” is still a regular in our live show sets, and we thank everyone who’s been on this colorful journey with us! Here’s to the next 8 years! #TransMusic #MusicianSky

Happy 12 years out of the closet to MEEEEE!!!! ~Natalie :)

My buds over at @dreamstates.bsky.social are dope as hell. Genre-flexible grooves nestled largely at the intersection of disco and indie rock

Hey loves, we could really use some positivity over here...if our music has ever moved you, could you let us know by interacting with this post? Maybe share a song you like? So much negativity around trans folks rn, I'd love to know we're making some kind of difference, even if it's small. thx :)

moves like a cat, sings like a bird, and is 100% wife material 💜🎶 for Natalie over at @dreamstates.bsky.social #furryart #digitalart

"The Bringer" is from our 5th studio album, "Comets"! This track was, like nearly all songs on this album, written circa 2006 while I was in LA, with no lyrics, just a melody. I saw this album as a chance to "tie up loose ends" in my song vault, lol :) dreamstatesband.bandcamp.com/track/the-br...

oh yeah!!! almost forgot to post these — I got photos from the @wolfears.net set at AC!!! including a nice shot of my wife (Natalie from @dreamstates.bsky.social) on drums! what an AMAZING show, you seriously had to be there to get the full experience. words cannot describe. 🤩

I want to make a different kind of #trans #artshare. This will probably just flop unseen, but can I get a thread of trans MUSICIANS to drop links to your favorite album/music video/song? I'll follow-back and share as much as I can.

"Earth To Skye" is our only full-length instrumental piece! Featuring trombonist BJ Bishop and the best bass solo I've ever recorded, this is a recreation of a song I made when I lived in LA. It sat in my "unfinished songs" collection for over 10 years! Enjoy!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m9j...

an oldie but a goodie! this song is a work of poetry about remaking yourself 💖 @listigeplaylists.bsky.social @blueskyplaylist.bsky.social #musiciansky #transmusic open.spotify.com/track/6Mm8Tl...

today is bandcamp friday - buy our music! :D dreamstatesband.bandcamp.com

Tonight's song is our double-time cover of "Madness" by Muse! We took the groove from George Michael's "Faith" and threw it in a blender with one of my favorite Muse songs, and this was the result! I really love how the guitar solo is done on a bass guitar! Enjoy! :) open.spotify.com/track/7wGWFJ...

Okay so everything sucks rn. But this band of merry transes has no intention of stopping making music or shouting for trans rights and fuck trump. Album #10 will be coming this year, and the support group I run in Akron is growing every week so if you're local hmu for info. <3uguys.

Thank you for this. The episode, but also this incredible 10 second clip that I will use exclusively to annoy transphobes every chance I get

Today's song is "Silhouette"! The penultimate song from our 2nd album, this rocker was one of our first songs reviewed by Rock The Pigeon! open.spotify.com/track/2Es5Qv... @listigeplaylists.bsky.social @blueskyplaylist.bsky.social #TransMusic #OriginalMusicTracks #musiciansky #music

Trans rights are human rights!! Pass it on! 🏳️‍⚧️💕

This was the last original song I wrote before I came out as trans. The lyrics got reimagined a little, but the track stayed almost note-for-note as it was in the demo. I always loved this tune, especially the final chorus. Enjoy!! music.youtube.com/watch?v=jWoQ...

🏳️‍⚧️ Huge step forward: The first trans suicide hotline is now available in the U.S. and Canada. Hopefully a sign support is growing and change is happening. Please share for our trans loved ones in crisis. 💗💙🤍💙💗 translifeline.org/hotline/ #TransRights #LGBTQSupport #MentalHealthMatters #TransPride

Happy Holidays! 🎄❄️ We don't have any Christmas songs, but you can hear our very own Natalie playing bass and singing with Church of Starry Wisdom on this Yule tune from an album of all-Akron bands! open.spotify.com/track/7tO9g4... @listigeplaylists.bsky.social #MusicSky #music
