Live Vids

Touched base with a childhood friend who came in to the studio with us to capture this moment. Performing a song off of the Plague EP. This song is sort of the heart and soul of where the album is coming from, in picturing an I Am Legend landscape, only instead of facing leagues of the undead, there’s only dead bodies everywhere. Phobic is the main character in the story, and he’s faced with being the last living human being on the earth, who’s trying to find the will to keep living.

After twelve days at six locations this is the last song of the last date on the eXtreme Tour 2019, August 9 at My City Youth center in Hemet, CA. Harli from the Hollybells joins for this last impromptu improvised moment of aggression. Unrehearsed pure punk rock.

When Xwan got back in to live performance, he started out with a single solo performance at Make Music Day in Salem, OR. By the time Labor Day rolled around, however, he managed to rope Yehuda McKay back in for a set at XFestNW. There was a different drummer who was scheduled to join the line up, however in his absence, Xwan managed to enlist the help of Cameron Joyce of Separating the Seas to fill in, impromptu. This would be a defining moment for Good God Father as an act, as it initiated Xwan’s first steps back toward a more Christ centered and affiliated ethos in the industry as a definite action. But the festival itself, headed by Jeanie Sherman, would have such a strong impact because of the genuine nature of the people who make it up, both artists, and stuff. The words, “Your family” would heavily hit home for Xwan, and this performance would usher in a steady tradition of cooperation with the organization.

One of the last performances with Martyred Whitmans before Xwan would turn toward a solo position as a performer, and one of only a few performances captured with Tyler Steele on guitar. Unholy from the The Plague EP, later to be re-released under the Good God Father moniker with the [Chronicles]((https://music.apple.com/us/artist/good-god-father/1437101851) collection.
