No SXSW for me this year. I just officially pulled out of the festival.
Human rights violations on the state level aside, I am very committed to being part of a music industry that actually cares about people who are at heightened risk for complications from Covid-19 and makes space for people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions to still do what they love safely. That’s not the current trend and it’s really fucking gross.
I’m lucky to be on a label that supports me here. I know that’s not the case for everyone right now.
OK, so…for all of you who tried to get into the sold-out Blow Pony show we played earlier this year, here’s your chance to get in on the magic! I will be back at Rotture with The Gentry for round 2 on Saturday, June 19th at Blow Pony’s annual Portland Gay Pride Party!!! We will be performing alongside Jer Ber Jones, Atole, and a slew of other amazing performers, bands and DJs who are going to play a part in making you have the best gay weekend ever.

More info (as well as the actual show poster) coming soon! In the meantime, watch what happened the last time I got loud with the boys in my band at Blow Pony:
As you guys may already know, Tom (Cars & Trains) and I will be bringing our show back East to perform at the 2009 CMJ Music Marathon and Film Festival!
Passes to the festival are pretty steep (like $500 or something), but admission to the show itself for folks without CMJ Badges is just $3.00, so come out and play! The Bowery Electric is right around the corner from the old CBGB’s location in the East Village!
Here’s what the bill looks like for the evening: (To listen to the bands on Myspace, click on their names!)
