"Last fall we received word that 704 W High Street in Urbana might be sold soon. Shortly thereafter @americfootball, @polyvinylrecords, @chrisstrongphotography, @atibaphoto & @openhousecontemporary made a pact: we'd all buy the house together before developers could demolish it and build a condo.
Today, with sincere joy, we are excited to share that we have collectively purchased The American Football House in an effort to preserve its place and legacy within the community that built it.
Here's to keeping this landmark alive for many more years to come. 🏠"
honestly, that's a huge ass flex, hopefully i can visit before the summer ends, if i don't stay home
-
The what?
-
What a bizarre but interesting combination of things. Did Atiba take the photo for the album cover or something like that?
-
Who?
-
how the fuck do you guys not know who american football is

how the fuck do you guys not know who american football is

As a fan of the band, that’s pretty sick.
-
I'm more of a Joan of Arc/House of Tim Kinsella kind of guy.
-
how the fuck do you guys not know who american football is
took me a few google minutes to figure it was a music band, I dunno who the fuck they are, first time I know about them
-
Not gonna lie, this is actually pretty cool.
-

Google "american football".

The Polyvinyl owner skates. They did a collab board with Girl before. Not sure exactly how he knows Atiba
-
i'm a fan and this is cool however this belongs in the music section at best
-
i don't know about the cover, but looks like he directed this video (featuring prod): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaZUVZ2F_Dc
-
Glad he bought a house of the NFL
-
I looked this up a bit and care even less about it than I did before.
-

they had a connection prior to this, not sure how it came to be, my guess is he was their tour photographer for a time because i saw him taking photos at a show they played here, this was in like 2016

the house didn't make the music, it's more home ownership news, but slap doesn't have a real estate section

American Football House

Kinda cool that Maps has it titled as the American football house.
Edit: Zillow link. Would live here lol

Can someone explain in Fortnite terms?

Love this - my wife went to U of I and is in the never meant video they filmed in the house back in 09' or so - the love between Atiba and Mike is real, I share a studio space here in Chi with Bobby from Joan of Arc/Love of Everything/etc. and they're homies too. Skating got me into emo, for better or for worse so I'm here for it!
Somewhere there's an edit of me skating in a cardigan to 'honestly' in like 03' - lots of impossibles and wallies, I've always been ahead of my time. Typed between meetings, after a skate break and my afternoon adderal.
-
Also had no idea who/what american football is. How much does a house like that cost in the middle of Illinois? Like 400 bucks?
-
No one cares.
Delete.
-
Here in the U.S. we just call it The Soccer House.
-
i wore one of their hats for years before i realized it was a band logo and the band made music I dont really like.
good job or something?
-
people seem awfully motivated to exclaim that they don't care about this

Mikey Taylor’s wet dream.

Here to say I care a lot!
-
Going in halfsies on that house is probably chump change for Atiba. Now he'll get a very modest passive income as a landlord.
-
I don’t believe it; seems like a whole lot of cappin’ and all that jazz.

That's a good way to spend your money, hopefully they can do something great there. That album means a lot to me 🖤
-
i care, this rules
-

It's true we really don't care. No way I'm looking up american football because atiba bought their house. He kinda seems like the kinda guy to sit around and smell his own farts, and now he has another place to do it. Yay.
-

I've never been as motivated in my life to proclaim that I don't care about something as I am today about this.

Damn didn’t expect to see this many midwest emo fans on here. Both Kinsellas have done a lot of cool shit music wise but that AF album is legendary. Algernon Cadwallader is cool as shit too. Penpal is also a really good band that plays the style, also from IL
-
so they bought a sport thats actually a band but it actually a house? thats crazy

Super sick the house gets to stay a while longer. My roommates and I toured it in 2017 only to find the inside totally fucked with hella water damage and walls caving in :/. Maybe Atiba could fly in TJ to return the crib to it’s former glory 🙏
-
Really good news but who told who about the house demolition and how?

Saw Algernon live last fall it was wonderful. Glad to see they're playing shows again.
Also wanted to add that Atiba buying the AFB house sounds like a shitpost. Was not on my 2023 bingo card but I back it.
-
are they gonna flip it into a quaint midwestern starter home with modern amenities? or is it just an easy place to get pussy
-
let me know when its the house from pure guava

@overwaxed is bout it, wish i could grill with you dog
shout out to everyone who brought up algernon, just as important as american football to me except for riding my bike, drinking vodka and taking pictures of stars instead of adolescent makeouts
spent some very fun nights in philly at their warehouse! that was a really special time in music, I don't love a lot of 'revival' jams but they were legit. Next time listen to Ghosts and Vodka!
also re: music from the blind video, I best Mike could slay a cover of the knife song!

how the fuck do you guys not know who american football is
how the fuck do you guys not know who anal cunt is
-
this is really funny to me. it's been meme'd so much that that adds to the legacy of it. pretty weird.
i love the instrumentation of american football s.t #1, but emo vocals (of all kinds)... i don't understand how anyone can stand them. i tried! nope. i respect the scene building aspect of these people, though.
atiba was at my local skatepark helping the university of oregon kids shoot some ollies over a hip. pretty cool but couldn't use that section of the park. oh well.

Just listened to a couple of their songs. For anyone curious about the band, don’t bother. Aural torture like I can’t begin to explain.

I really wanna know what about them bothers you to the point where you gotta describe em like that. They’re basically just a depressing, catchy jazz band to me. Is it the singing? What songs did you listen to?

Drumming wise, yeah. They love to play around with 5/4 and different compound time signatures. Everything else is just typical midwest emo
-

Delete.
I care.
-
really siked that they were able to save the house. big fan of all Mike Kinsella's work, kinda crazy to me how him and Atiba are homies lolol, every time they comment on each other's instagrams or like post a photo with each other i trip out
-
how the fuck do you guys not know who american football is
just because you are a fan does not mean that they are well known or even any good for that matter. haha
-
yeah, that's cool.
-
Is this one of those early oughts bands that did the singing/screaming thing? There was so much singing and screaming back then.

Dont know the band or care to hear the music but the idea of people coming together to buy a property with some historical significance and prevent box condos from being built is pretty cool.
also fuck Mikey Taylor

i believe "jazz" did come from "jizz", meaning that kind of music was played in brothels. i learned that in my history of rock music class in 2006, and don't want to look up if that's true or not because i want to believe

I’m not gonna sit here and pontificate about what constitutes a jazz band. Go listen to Allan Holdsworth if you wanna be an elitist. The AF guy plays with a jazzy feel imo. Also LOL @ jizz rock
