live online concert as part of NHAMFest26

Brand new upcoming tracks, something from every album, the cassette era re-worked and tracks never before performed live, celebrating 35 years of the darker side of the disco.

I've been reflecting a lot over the past 6+ weeks building this show. Which makes sense given the theme and the reworking of quite old material. Working with my writing partner from the 90s on new album material to debut has been a vibe. It's no comfort that our artistic response to the world then was so fucking grim and macabre and that absolutely nothing has gotten better since. oof.

But there is something positive in the process of doing, building, and the fuel to keep fighting at least at the micro level. I'm not sure what the feeling is called but there have been a few moments at the mixing desk and on the practice stage where I felt a little ping of something that isn't just the usual pain or total dread. Odd. There is beauty in the darkness and all but fuck sake maybe an occasional ping of, I don't want to call it joy, but something like that is just fine. It's no joke when I invite you to lace up your boots and join me for a cathartic stomp. Let's shake up the neighbours and be positively angry TOGETHER!

stomp in solidarity.
