A note from Edrie:
The first RPM challenge started what would become the artistic direction that we’ve now spent 17 years traveling.
Walter and I met during the time of the 1st RPM challenge
February has always been a time of renewal and change for us. Our daughter Wednesday, now 7, was born in February. We’ve premiered plays, moved houses, lost jobs, got new jobs, been on tour, witnessed weddings, shoveled feet of snow, mourned losses; and yet, we’ve released an album every February every year of the challenge.
No matter what February has brought – we’ve made time to make music
Two years ago, the world was just hearing the beginnings of what will likely define the lived-experience for all of humanity for a generation. Our way of being in the world, of creating, of supporting ourselves, of fellowship changed drastically.
We still made music.
No more getting together in the same physical space to create.
We still made music.
No more hugs or high-fives or smoke-circles or bodies packed together exuding energy.
We still made music.
We’ve lost and gained so much this year and…
WE STILL MADE MUSIC!
Walter has continued BUNKER BUDS, a daily dystopian talk show dedicated to bringing joy in to the often bleak loneliness of quarantine. They have touched thousands of folks with hundreds of episodes dedicated to helping people see the good and the light of artistic fellowship.
Let Yourself Love Yourself.
PERMANENT FIRE is our 17th RPM offering. It’s a marker in time, a symbol of what we lost and also what we’ve gained. It points to our North Star, the time when we will all be together again, somewhere between starshine and clay.
PERMANENT FIRE is dedicated to the last 17 years of RPMs and to the people, places, and things that have made us who we are today.
Thank you RPM! Thank you for the space to create and for the reminder that no matter what obstacles the world tossed in our way, we made music.
Love & Tentacles,
Edrie, Walter, Wednesday & the rest of the Broken Toys

This album is dedicated to the over 900,000 Americans lost to COVID and our nearly countless world-wide counterparts who were also in its path.
It's especially dedicated to the close family we lost including:
