Patreon Hangout - June!

We hope you've been having a great week! 

It's time to plan our POST TOUR LIVE HANGOUT!! This will only be available to top tier subscribers. But we are sharing this poll with everyone so we can get a better sense for the overall time preferences of everyone. 

It’ll be a time to talk about how the tour went, recap our favorite moments, and hear yours! And if you weren’t able to come, you’ll be able to hear all about it.

We will forward along some technical d...

The Bird Musical Themes

Martín here! This week I wanted to share with you some of the ways in which we used different musical themes in our song "The Bird".

It made a lot of sense to mix multiple themes into this song because it is such a pivotal moment in the story. Let us know in the comments if you identified all of these themes, or if you hear any other ones when listening back!

Once again, feel free throw in some video suggestions in the comments if you have any! I'm currently working on some of t...

Drum Faces 🤪

What's up everyone!? Augusto here sharing some funny drum faces from last tour.  With the Canada/USA Summer tour coming up I've recently started to practice the set list on my electronic drum kit. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my muscle memory is actually pretty good and some of the parts which took a while for me to catch before last tour (like The Falcon instrumental section 🥵) came relatively easy this time. 

It has been really fun to get back to playing th...

Sneak peek!

Hi everyone, Martín here!  

Thought I'd share a little snippet of a song we're working on. This song is turning out pretty nicely and we're so so sooo excited for you to hear the full thing. 

In this snippet you'll hear some isolated tracks that have some cello effects and harmonies that Augusto and I recorded, as well as some light acoustic guitar plucking. A really cool aspect of this song is how challenging it is to play in a lot of parts without sounding flashy, and...

Tracking New Demo Vocals

Hi all, Casey here!

Here’s a short clip of me recording some scratch vocals for a new demo we’ve been working on for a while. I’ve said it before, but I have to say it again: I’m reaaally REALLY excited about the new material we’ve been writing and I can’t wait to share more of it. If you catch us on our upcoming tour, you may or may not get to hear this song in full ;)

Hope everyone has been well, thanks for being here as always. ♥️

Pre-tour Shave! 💇‍♂️

Whats up everyone! Hope everyone is having a great start of their week! Since we announced our upcoming tour last week I thought it would be appropriate for me to share last years pre-tour shaving ritual in which Martin De Lima shaved my hair using our booking agents electric razor in the parking lot of the hotel we were staying in. I needed a fresh cut to embark on our hot journey through the mid west and we didn’t have time to stop by a barber. So Martin took command and shaved my sides t...

Life Update!

Martín here!

Just thought I’d give you folks a short personal update. Finally, after a lot of planning and searching, I’ve moved into a new place where I won’t have to be working in my kitchen (if you’ve seen some of our other videos on patreon you know what I mean 😂). I’m officially a resident of Los Angeles, and will be working from this cute little space from now on! It’s also the first time that I’ve had a separate space to work in that isn’t for any other purpo...

First North American Tour 2023 Disposables

Hey gang, it's Casey! I wanted to share a few cute disposable pictures that I took while we were on tour last summer. I just love the way that the grit of film is able to capture special moments like all of the ones we had on this tour. We saw so much beauty, color, vastness, and rawness in our travels from Chicago all the way down to New Orleans and beyond. Excited to keep sharing more stuff like this with you and to go on more tours where we visit even more places we've never been before. I...

Addled Eyes Drum Play-through 🤟🏻

Hey everyone! Hope all of your holidays were great and that you are starting this year in the best way. I whipped up a quick one take play-through of Addled Eyes on my E-kit as I start to get back to practicing tunes for the live shows! This is such a fun tune to play live because its so cheerful and poppy so I decided to follow through with some nice lighting FX. I added a few flares here and there to spice it up too. If you pay attention to the last round of the last chorus I do a nice metr...

The Bear Bass Playthrough!

Hey Everyone!

Here's my one-take bass play through of "The Bear"! I was experimenting further with different video-capture techniques, and this one didn't come out as well as I had hoped. SO I'm sorry again for the video quality! But I hope this acts as a helpful resource if you wish to learn this song. Also, I do teach bass lessons so please reach out if you want to learn more!

Have a great week & talk to you soon<3 

Pete & Ok Goodnight 

The Fox and the Bird Guitar intro tutorial

Hey patrons! Martín here. I've been traveling quite a bit the past couple of weeks, currently in Nashville, Tennessee 🤠. Since I'm staying with some family (and we're all quite loud, so recording voiceover would've been near impossible) I thought I'd make a quick no talking tutorial of the intro riff of The Fox and the Bird.

This introduction was in part inspired by Sigur Ros's song Gobbledigook. It influenced the choice in instrumentation, for which we used floor toms, a cowbell, a...

From Ok Goodnight: Happy Holidays and Thank You 🥳❤️

Howdy! Here’s a little picture of us with Jennings from when we were in Maryland on tour this past summer. As we take a day off to celebrate the holidays and the end of the year, we wanted to leave you with a special message from each of us.

Peter:

This year, Ok Goodnight was able to accomplish more things than we could have hoped for. Each one of those things involved YOU and it is a true privilege to be able to share in our music together. Whether it’s at a live show or thr...

A Most Wonderful Year

Hey patrons!

It’s Casey, coming at you with a little reflective post today. First of all, happy holidays. I hope each and every one of you has had a chance to kick back, relax and enjoy some (I’m sure much needed) downtime. I also hope that you’ve been able to reflect upon this past year with at least a small bit of ease and pride. Whether your year was tremendous, treacherous, or a little bit of both, you got through it. I personally had a very hectic year, but it was also one of...

3 Boyz Harmony

Wassup everybody!! The end of the year is getting closer and closer and we had to summon the last of our will and work power to record some beautiful 3 part harmony with the boys of the crew.

BTS Tour footage!

Hey patrons! Martín here. Lately we've all been super busy with some end of the year stuff and in my case, figuring out the logistics of moving to the west coast in the middle of December. There's a lot amazing things starting to happen (but we can't say much as of yet). 

In the meantime, I thought I could share a little behind the scenes of one of the hottest days of the tour. We had a day off in between shows and went to take a swim at a lake. It was one of those days where ever...

The Drought Melody Breakdown

Hey all! It's Casey again. I hope you all had a lovely holiday yesterday (if you celebrate) and got a chance to kick back and relax. This week I'm sharing another melody breakdown video, this one is for "The Drought." I hope you enjoy hearing about how I wrote this one and all my thoughts around how it sets the tone for the album.

Guitar experimentation for new tunes! 🎸👽

Hey everyone! Augusto here sharing some footage of us creating some weird guitar textures for some new material we’ve been working on. We’re basically sending the guitar signal through those little boxes Martin is manipulating which modulate the signal to create some interesting sounds.

The Fox and the Bird Bass Playthrough!!

Hey Everyone! 

Here's my one take play through of "The Fox and the Bird"!! This is exactly what I played on the record, and using my jazz bass.  

My apologies for the video quality - it was my first time recording a play through via OBS, and it will be my last!   

If any of you are bass players, I'd be happy to make another, more instructional video on some of the specifics. Let me know if that's something you'd be down for!
