slugfest (queer diy antifolk fest in central nc) is still accepting applications for about two more weeks!

10/19/26 benefit for ABC No Rio at The P.I.T.

Oh and some stuff coming up fast. Catch me in toronto, kitchener, or hamilton soon?

I have moved to San Francisco and work at Rainbow Grocery. One of the largest worker owned co-ops you ever did see in your whole ass life. We started filming local music after-hours a few months ago, and the sets are just now starting to get released. I'm pretty excited about the whole ordeal, and thought I'd share with y'all freaks. There's some great weird local stuff stuff, and it's just getting started. I don't really play Pipe Bomb songs anymore, but if that's what you would rather hear, me & Teddy are playing for free at the Clarion Alley Project in SF on Oct 25 at 12:30pm, and we are gonna sling a few oldies 'n moldy's just for shits AND giggles. Y'all take care.

Do you know how much courage it takes to post an incredibly unflattering thumbnail of oneself on a subreddit like this? A lot. A whole lot of courage. And bravery. Courage, Bravery, and Understanding.

Their new vid to this song Murder on My Cell Phone is wild, totally worth looking up 🌟

Hiii looking for more folk punk !!

Particularly it often pisses me off how much people write about romance/sex because i'm aroace. Like i'm fine with music about those topics, but stuff about family, friendship, or whatever else is way cooler

Right now i like sister wife sex strike, apes of the state, local news legend, mothers day rogers, and ramshackle glory. A bit of AJJ and days n daze too

I STRONGLY prefer trans writers and vocalists or fem vocalists. Cis men piss me off a bit

Thanks

At Shug’s in Salisbury, NC, both acts were amazing and were super cool. Also got to play with our local friends The Malorties Shorties great new band. Hope you all get to catch a great show soon!

I doubt there’s much overlap between grandson and folk punk fans but this felt like it would fit nicely in the middle

Hey! Like the titles says I was wondering if anyone knows of some decent open mic places that would be receptive to folk punk? I know of some in the area and played a few years ago but the audience tends to be older and the vibe is usually more “calm-singer-songwriter” type stuff and my upbeat sloppy stuff usually is met with kinda confused and polite little claps (I admit it’s possible I just suck haha). But anyway if anyone knows of a cool place where folk punk would be well received in the Detroit area let me know!

Did anyone who ordered the Friends in Real Life vinyl series get the New Practices LP? I got all the singles but I don't see that the LP itself shipped yet.

I emailed also but haven't heard back yet so I'm checking in with anyone else.

Well aware of the label's...capacities so I'm perfectly fine with a delay just want to make sure that I didn't end up getting missed or some other issue.
