"Innings began as a solo project for singer and guitarist DJ Gilmore, who tells me his band is so baseball-obsessed that they use baseball sayings or famous players as songwriting inspiration, saying the ideas “usually…comes back to more real life experiences that we can relate to.” It just so happens that Innings’ cassette release show at Sub-Mission December 11 will also include fellow baseball nuts Hafner. Keep your bats at home, but bring your references to Matt Stairs and the distance between basepads."
