As for news/updates:
- My band Overheard has a show at Tubby’s in Kingston, NY this Friday (Jan. 31st), supporting and celebrating the release of Open Head’s second album, What Is Success? You can buy tickets here and buy their new rekkid here!
- If you’re in NYC, keep the night of Saturday March 8th open for me. 😘
- Next month I am going to Puerto Rico for the first time since childhood and I’m sure I’ll have a lot to say about it.
- FKA twig’s new record EUSEXUA is perfect and I strongly recommend checking it out.
- I visited MASS MoCA for the first time this past weekend, loved it, and took a whole roll of film that I’ll be getting developed soon.
A piece of writing and some updates is kinda how this newsletter is gonna look. There might be a bandcamp track, a new playlist I made on Apple Music, or some photos I’m really proud of thrown in from time to time. Hope you stick around.
You can keep in touch with me on bluesky or via my website.
See you in two weeks!
- Will
