Pancakes "Live A Little" now streaming.

Posted on July 31st, 2024

We are staying quietly busy over here at Tummy Rock. We’ve been digging through the past catalog and working on getting music up on streaming platforms, because we believe in these records and we want you to hear them. Next up on our reissue campaign is the 2014 keyboard driven pop record, “Live a Little,” by the band Pancakes. Pancakes was a band comprised of songwriters Mikki Bauerly and Kaylen Alan Krebsbach based out of Missoula, Montana. The band is interesting because

the duo come from very different musical backgrounds. Mikki had been fronting weird and aggressive no wave bands where Kaylen came from more of an indie rock background. Together the duo made a cohesive album that is fun, silly, and an incredibly beautiful batch of short humorous songs with a lot of heart.

The band ended at the same time the album came out and so the record never really found the audience I think it deserved and just became a quirky obscure gem on my Bandcamp collection. An extremely limited 10 cassettes and 25 CDs were ever printed. Nothing would make me happier if in the 10 years since the release of the album songs like “Real Pretend Boyfriend,” “Mutual Ex-Boyfriend,” “Party Goth” or even the wintery ballad “Too Cold (4 Snow)” see some kind of Tik Tok viral moment (hint hint kids). One can always hope right? Thank you Kaylen and Mikki for letting me continue to distribute this record these last 10 years. I love this album so much. “Live a Little” by the band Pancakes is streaming now. Link in bio.
