I feel like this is a real long shot, but I want to see if Mastodon can help me connect with more fans of my absolute favorite band, since I can't find any groups dedicated to them anywhere else. There's a subreddit, but it's barely active. Their name is penny and Sparrow, and they're a couple of weird folk singer dudes from Texas who were once pretty Christian, but they've since deconstructed and now I'm not sure what they are. Their lyrics aren't as explicitly spiritual as they once were, in any case.

I saw them in concert in April of last year, and it was the best live music experience of my life so far. I almost started crying as soon as I heard the opening notes of their first song, which, incidentally, was Adeline, one of my favorite songs of theirs. It was everything I could have asked for from seeing them live and then some.

Anyway, I hate it when people ask for boosts on their posts, but I would love it if y'all could boost this so it might have a better chance of reaching people who love them if they're on here. It's very sad to love something so much and not know anyone else who loves it the same way. I want them to be more popular.

@greengaybles Public radio people might be of help. look up KPFT they got lots of folk & americana. someone may know
@greengaybles that was how I felt when I discovered the #Cardiacs none of my friends would come to gigs! 🥺

@ChuffMeister I was lucky that most of my friends were fans - except for @judealdridge, who is a silly person.

She may have mellowed, but I haven’t risked including a Cardiacs track in the Desert Island Disks playlists she gets us to make for her birthday parties, in case I get uninvited.

@ChuffMeister @nic - I can be a silly person and will allow a Cardiacs DID - just one mind xx
@judealdridge @ChuffMeister @nic if @nic is allowed to have Cardiacs on playlist, can I?
@maffknight @judealdridge Jude’s 60th is going to be Cardiatastic
@judealdridge @nic I think we should, technically, be able to include Cardiac covers. I’m thinking Napalm Death’s cover of To Go Off and Things.
@nic @maffknight I would like it on record that my 60th is some time off and lots of People - you two for starters - get to that milestone before me - I’d still be the youngest if it wasn’t for that pesky Jim!!
@greengaybles I only saw your toot because the first reply to it includes a hashtag which I follow - #cardiacs are one of my favourite bands so I follow the hastag. If there are other #PennyAndSparrow fans on here you’re more likely to find them this way than through your post getting random boosts. Good luck!
@nic I did consider using that hashtag, but honestly that felt like an even longer shot than making the post in the first place lol. I guess I should have added it anyway though just on the off chance that anyone else ever uses it.
@greengaybles Yeah, it does look a bit barren out there! I’m a long way from Texas, but I’ll give you a boost, just in case. 🤞
@greengaybles looks like their YouTube channel is pretty active. Might find people in the comments. https://youtu.be/NKvZhIkturE

@greengaybles
Don’t be embarrassed to ask for boosts.
On Mastodon, people are happy to help.
@greengaybles - we have seen them once when they opened for Delta Rae in Raleigh NC. We have not followed them however. Good luck finding fellow fans!
@kcrouth Thank you! I'm gonna need it lol. That sounds like a fantastic concert, I also really like Delta Rae.
