Here’s a little bit of what I got up to this last Saturday in Orlando with @damage-band.bsky.social

”It Just Won't Pass” from Saturday's @damage-band.bsky.social gig in Orlando. Thanks to Sandra Dee Carr for the video. 🙏

Come see @damage-band.bsky.social this Saturday at Will's Pub in Orlando Florida for tea and pastries ☕🥐

Q: how do you secure a heavy fragile irregularly-shaped 2-component synth in a roomy flight case meant for non-abnormal keyboards?

A: with ~5 late-night sessions of rearranging velcro pads & partitions; + enlisting the help of strategically placed socks & underwear. 🧦💪

See you soon Orlando! 🎹✈️

𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺, the 1986 debut LP by Damage (@damage-band.bsky.social), unavailable for decades, now available on Bandcamp.

“Fusing the raw energy of hardcore punk with the unrelenting pulse of analog synthesizers and live drums, Damage carved out a distinct sound that defied genre conventions.”

Excited to say I've joined the band Damage (@damage-band.bsky.social ), a live-synths live-drums hardcore punk act formed in the early ’80s.

They’ve reformed, enlisted me, are releasing a new LP, & we're gearing up for live gigs. 1st one's May 10 @ Will's Pub in Orlando. More to come.

Man I'd forgotten how much I loved writing rock music.

Good* day. Mailed out merch orders. Got a haircut. Joined a band. Wild.

Living through this shit, I almost wish I was born during the Dark Ages instead
