Me: *leading the team meeting so I get to create the ice breaker* It’s my birthday coming up and you have an endless amount of money. What’s the most creative present you’re going to get me?
Coworker: Manners.

PHANTOGRAM • TUMBLR IRL • BOULDER, CO • 10/13/16
Phantogram ( @phantogram) and photographer Ben Zank ( @benzank) closed out a memorable year of Tumblr IRL with an emotional performance at Boulder’s eTown Hall.
An old church converted to a performance space, the room added breadth to the band’s sound, and warmth to their voices. Ben Zank’s dark imagery, meanwhile, created a depth and introspection to a setlist packed with personal experience. As Josh Carter sang “Barking Dog,” which he wrote for bandmate Sarah Barthel’s late sister, the entire room could feel his emotion.
At the end of the show, each fan got to meet Ben and the band, who gave them an autographed photo book. Go here view all the photos while you stream Phantogram’s new album, Three.
Big thanks to Ice Breakers ( @icebreakersunicorn) for making this night possible and to eTown Hall for hosting us.

PHANTOGRAM • TUMBLR IRL
Phantogram have released their third album. It’s called, Three.
With songs that explore how we may find calm amongst chaos, the duo have aptly selected Ben Zank to collaborate on a special Tumblr IRL. As you listen to the album, scroll through the photography, which will be rolling out all week right here.
Oh, and there’s a whole thing in Boulder too, thanks to our friends at Ice Breakers Mints. The band have planned a super intimate, one-of-a-kind performance to pair with the visuals that Ben created.
Our first Tumblr IRL to hit the Mountain Time Zone, and we’re damn proud of it.

Glass Animals • Tumblr IRL • Los Angeles • 8/31/16
Bringing an album to life at a Tumblr IRL had yet to get THIS literal.
The characters pictured in the Glass Animals’s new album and videos added a whole new dimension, inviting fans to be Human Beings with them. With a background of 8 bit projections from the minds of Whoopi (@whoopthis) & Myk (@myk31), the band (@glassanimalsband) performed their new songs on stage in a world made from their imagination.
Graced with some oldies, and hit hard with new music that could only make them dance, those in attendance at The Village Studios in LA didn’t just get a show. They got to truly experience the album.
Listen to How to be a Human Beinghere, and check out all the art on Glass Animals’ Tumblr. OR get the damn thing on vinyl and impress your friends.
Big thanks to the band and their brains, to Whoopi & Myk and to Ice Breakers Mints (@icebreakersunicorn) for making this happen, to Vinyl Me Please (@vinylmeplease) for putting Tumblr IRL art on a record (!!!), to Yours Truly (@yourstrulysf) on production and to Spotify Sessions (@spotify) for enshrining it in their vault so we can all enjoy a show with as much energy and passion as you’ll ever see.
We’ll let you know when that’s available.
