VIP Room
Welcome cherished friend and VIP! We're so honored that you're here...truly, it means the world to us to have fans that dig our music and want to hear more. So we're gonna do our best to make ya happy.
About once a week we'll be adding something new for ya - whether it's early access to a new song, an exclusive live video, a podcast episode, or a monthly coupon code - it'll show up right here. Right now - since you're in on the ground level - there's only a handful of exclusives, but this page will fill up quick with a new drop coming every week!
August 29: Here's an acoustic demo I sent to the guys to introduce them to our next single, Revolving Door. It's a super heartfelt song and I can't wait to show you the final version in September. Hope you enjoy the demo!
August 22: Hey friends! Just wanted to give you a heads up that we're dropping a new poster from our Palladium show, and the first 10 orders will be signed by the whole band! You're the first ones to know about it, so you've got first dibs :). Free free to use code SAVE10 for $10 off any poster (or tshirt) including this one. Love y'all!
August 15: Howdy howdy! We're back with another podcast episode covering three more songs on Fay. I got a little emotional talking about the song Lullaby...hope you don't mind that. It's a tough story to re-live, but I feel like it should be known. :) The other 2 songs we cover are Generations and Winter Persisting, one we've never played together, and the other we play at every show! Hope you enjoy the podcast!
August 9: Hey there! Here's another full set for ya! This one was rife with all sorts of technical difficulties. Not to mention we had to cut a bunch of songs because we had a hard stop at 10:00 to comply with city ordinances. But we still had a super good time as evidenced here!
August 1: I was hoping to hook y'all up with the full set of Stargazer, but unfortunately we didn't get any audio from it. It was a super crazy setup without any soundcheck and something got missed.

Our first podcast ever! Malingo's Musing's Episode 1:
In our first podcast, we talk through the first 2 tracks of Fay, Spring Rising and The Country Life. And then we delve into how Malingo formed as a 5-piece band.
Footage of our first show ever! Full set of McGowan Hall 1.27.23:
This is such a great memory, and you're one of the only people that can see the whole thing! We were super nervous and played through the set at BLAZING speed, but we made it through! Hope you enjoy this moment of Malingo history.
The very first Malingo album:
So all the way back in college, I wrote and recorded an album in my apartment under the name Malingo. This was 2008 - so before pre-Spotify and all that - and the only record of it (that I know of) are a handful of old CDs I have left. And now this unlisted YouTube video as well ;). I'm not gonna claim that you'll love it haha, but it at least gives a view into the sonic genesis of Malingo.
