Oh shit yeah it is. Hi world, I'm Ian, sometimes also Yvette. I'm nonbinary and I have a bigger post about it on instagram.

Put out a new song about it on streaming and on bandcamp.

Call your senators first before checking it out because the house passed very anti-trans cuts to medicaid.

Playing a crapload of shows (for me at least) and taking a huge personal risk with this next EP.

I'm equal parts scared and thrilled by the prospects here. I might blow up my life and that's cool.

Also personal achievement in getting a skank pit to happen for the song Happy Place. This was rad. Do stupid shit to save the vibe.

Sometimes the show is getting its vibe merked by the snow, so you take it to the firepit and bring out a cover for the whole team to get involved.

Nothin heals like a bit of the Mountain Goats

Just a little note for my cool as heck non-meta involved fam

Waking up after 5 hours of sleep has me feeling like a squidward smear frame

Put a batch of acoustic demos on my bandcamp the other day out of sheer impulse. Nuking them in a week. If $7 is too much, feel free to nab it for free with one of the codes

Without downloading any new pics, where are you at mentally?
January 23, 2025 at 9:12 PM
But its not just about how I'm doing. I'm like sharing the room with acts that are routinely knocking my socks off. I have zero right getting to play with a band like @spudbugs.bsky.social (you shoulda seen that skank pit) but nevertheless we were on the same bill and it was special as hell

To expand upon this, I had like a bunch of magic moments last weekend. Some where I could hear a pin drop when I play, and others where I could get a good mosh going. Showing this to myself at this time last year woulda had me floored. I think I'm really doing something right

The number one movie on your tenth birthday is how 2025 will turn out for you

Oh lord no

Hey, if you're in or around Cortland NY, Bristol CT, Providence RI or New Bedford MA, you should consider one of these shindigs

New @wolfears.net single (full length of theirs on bandcamp) and all listed below

Playing shows next weekend 1/17 - 1/19 giving you sad indie folk punk for your weakened hearts. Come thru to Cortland, NY; Bristol, CT; or Johnston, RI as I have songs to share I think you'll really like.

Okami sequel announcement got me over the moon. Currently dealing with a fricked up car, having to rent another car to start moving stuff this weekend to get myself in my teen/ya home that felt like hell to live in and I'm wildly overwhelmed by my shows this weekend, but this makes me happy

Hey gang, belated bandcamp friday post, but point is trying to dig myself out of a trench between car stuff and moving stuff and I'd love to give people items in exchange. I got tapes, buttons, leftover tour merch, etc etc. would mean a lot to be one of your bandcamp friday buys

Just learned the flyer for the boston show didn't have a time on it. Consider this the actual show announcement.
December 3, 2024 at 9:21 PM
Hi bluesky friends I'm doing shit in the boston area weekend of the 13th.

My first record - the one that makes me cringe out of my skin sometimes - came out that weekend five years ago.

I've been part of a bunch of DIY spots that never got their proper goodbye. Come celebrate I guess

Baby's first being added to a botted playlist without my consent lmao 🙃
December 2, 2024 at 3:56 PM
Why rag on something when you can join the party and live like this?
November 27, 2024 at 8:03 PM
Lmao holy shit. I threw my new split single at @fullblownmeltdown.bsky.social when he called for bluesky musicians for his homies playlist and they just threw all my top streamed songs on there. Got jumpscared seeing the play count in spotify for artists. Love you bud
