I’m not sure to what extent anyone cares about music content on here that doesn’t come with a social/political message, but I’m gonna post more. And my band @fcommanders.bsky.social makes music written by a woman about human relationships & dynamics that covers those topics anyway. Also we rip. So

The Enemy I Know Chorus 1 - STOP RECORDING WITH A CLICK TRACK YOU COWARDS! One of my FAVORITE things about this track & @fcommanders.bsky.social strict no click policy is the chorus drops 3-4 BPM from the verse!

Someone sent me this pic last night after they opened their merch order - so lovely to see it all in one place! Today is Bandcamp Friday; if you don’t have some/all/any of these items, order them and I’ll send you a similarly cheerful package!

This was fun! When I perform LOSING MY COURAGE live these days, it’s just me singing the lead a cappella. Fun to revisit the harmonies (or something thereabouts) from the album version! Also realized that I’ve grown accustomed to pushing & pulling with the time instead of being on any sort of grid.

Last night I put two bowls of water outside in my yard here in Nashville, will do so for the rest of the summer when I’m not on tour. For the birds, for the land animals, for whomever. Keeping it in the shade. It’s hot out there, help all beings stay alive!

I am an utter failure on this app. I can’t ever seem to remember to post here, or even come hang out & scroll the feed, even though some of my smartest pals & comrades say this is their fave platform. It might have come into my social media life too late & I can’t add one more thing. Anyway, hi!

My album ADULT CHILD has been in the world for one year today! So incredibly glad to have made and released it. This morning I was reflecting on how I felt this time last year (crazed, elated, exhausted, amped to play the local release show that night, panicked no one would come - the usual),

Recently told someone that I tend to say the most painful / true thing in the bridge, and that’s definitely the case in BIRTHDAYS & BULLSHIT, the loudest track on ADULT CHILD. Loud with grief, though; not anger. People confuse the two. 1/3

As a drummer it’s important to always make the most of an instrumental bridge, especially when it’s in 15! Love that wrote this, and relish any chance to play 4 against 3 on a ride bell against 16ths on the kick drum. Among Monsters is one of our coolest songs @buickaudra.bsky.social ever wrote!

Felt like singing this one! Springtime seems to bring me back to my solo work. My ADULT CHILD album was written, recorded, and released across various Spring seasons. Here’s the second verse of FIRSTBORN with a harmony that isn’t on the album, but I was in the mood for it this time around!

Hey friends! This time last year, when I was just starting to release work from my ADULT CHILD album, I had an essay published in Atwood Magazine as part of their Women's History Month Series. 1/4

New pedal! Ballou sent me this GCI Crimson Cock pedal for my birthday so I’m checking it out with my live rigs for @fcommanders.bsky.social! When activated, it seems to boost and brighten the mids, and when set to BUGAWK mode, there’s a noticeable beef / crisis that happens - which of course I love.
