#support local music

[sashaforthewin]

A tip to the young folks out there: go watch local bands, small bands, bands you've never heard of before. You don't have to wait for some huge act to come through your town to hear live music. You can typically find bands playing for fairly inexpensive and you discover so many great musical acts you wouldn't have ever heard of otherwise. Sometimes they even end up hitting it big and in the future you can remember how you saw them in some small venue before they were famous.

#i often go see three bands i've never heard for less than $20 and end up with at least one new band i really like #music #live music #concerts #support local music

Went out to see live music tonight for the first time since the baby was born. I don't know if any show under these conditions would have been a great show but this was a GREAT show.

Imagine:

The venue is a music studio off an alleyway down a set of half-basement stairs, a single long and narrow room, good mood lighting, holds 30 people max, no chairs.

First act, a 31 year old accountant, plays piano and guitar over pre-recorded live drums and stares intently at his laptop between the songs waiting for the files to load; sings nasally about the dog shitting on the kitchen floor and thinking about his wife dying; uses loop pedals and shit

Second act is older, the lead singer is a middle school history teacher, there are two dads in the band, the new dad is an amazing drummer (not biased), the older dad tells the teenaged crowd "hey the show's up here guys, move up" in his dad voice and they all do it; they play melodic pop punk music with 2-3 tempo changes per song and start a mosh pit

Third act is four Mexican goth dudes, the bassist has a thousand yard stare, the music is bottom-heavy and locked into the beat, hypnotically repetitive, the guitars have a very particular tone, when they play a Cure cover you say "of course"

Final act, four of the absolutely nicest kids you ever knew in high school, just the nicest quietest kids who are probably all on the honor roll or at least in the art show. The lead singer is wearing a Sonic T-shirt, the guitarist looks adorable in overalls, the bassist is a cute girl in glasses. They play what can only be called "rock music" (mix of alternative, indie and metal) and they fucking rule.

No idea how good that video sounds but I didn't take any pictures for that band. I'll look for Bandcamp links later maybe.

Hey y’all! Your favorite trans, disabled, and kinda grumpy musician’s laptop seems to have finally given up the ghost, if anyone wants to donate toward getting me a new one so I can keep making music and writing and doing pretty much everything that I do other than taking silly little walks in the sun and annoying my neighbors

Venmo is JupiterZirkua

Also hey, ya don’t have to just donate! I’ve got soooooo much music available on Bandcamp that you can purchase too

if you can't be an obsessive freak about at least one local band that only people in your red-state hippie hometown and surrounding towns have ever seen, don't call yourself punk

Of course it’s the Power Rangers covers that do big numbers. Nine year old me would probably never believe 39 year old me would still be all about Power Rangers lol

John and Peter's in New Hope, PA yesterday. Take Today!, Amorphous Blob Orchestra and RJ's current band Pepe Silvia NJ.

Amorphous Blob Orchestra were cool, the drummer, guitarist and trombonist(!) all switched instruments and took a turn on the mic. Take Today all sang and their bassist is really good... They had a surprisingly good cover of the Paw Patrol theme they'd learned for a podcast... Of course Pepe Silvia NJ was the best band there tho. (Not biased).

Everyone's on Instagram, Spotify, Bandcamp, etc.
