We’re releasing a single on June 6th. The reason this is so important is because all sales of the single on Bandcamp for the first 24 hours post-release, as well as our cut of the door and all merch sold that night, will be donated to the Transgender Law Center. Please pass this on. It means a lot.

Double single release show!

My face is writing checks that are surely going to bounce so maybe ask for proof of rock’n roll in cash next time?

A woman is featured in a poster that reads ‘the revamp clothing swap festival’ with a picture of her giving the horns, her face is scrunched up as if to be very aggressively saying ‘yeah’ over her chest tattoos are the words ‘musical guest - Johnnie Always’ below that is ‘your closet, wallet and world will thank you! - September 13th @ Detroit shipping co. - fashion community sustainability and below it are two dozen logos for supporting partners

A woman is ‘throwing up the horns’ with trans colored nails. The picture is taken in a mirror with the nails facing the camera in a blue and pink alternating pattern. The woman has two bracelets on her left hand

Compiling a tracklist for an album: “yes, 10.5 songs that exist and 1.5 that need pulled into existence sounds good”

@npr.org was REALLY specific on who did the videography on your #tinydesk entrance forms. I probably should have listed Lil Mama just to be safe

A black and white tuxedo cat is sitting on a woman’s arm as she edits a video with a track ball mouse. The image is just of a cat, an arm and the laptop on the table in the room. The laptop is silver, the woman is not.
