That’s us! 3 bands!

Last night I left work just in time to catch the last few acts at FreakFest. It was incredible.

#HomemadeMusic I got it. This one’s about breaking intergenerational cycles of abuse.

Good morning to all you writers of songs! Since last we spoke summer here has ended, inspiring today's theme: Post a song you've written about an end; to a relationship, an era, a pint—that's up to you. All I ask is that you mark it #HomeMadeMusic and quote this post. 😘 #musiciansky #musicsky

Izak + Ypsilanti? We just can’t stay away from each other. 😍 💞You got a chance to catch us at Ziggy’s on Friday, September 25 with new friends Frog Island Power Boat and old friend Mallory Wayt!

Happy birthday to the love of my life, @izak-detroit.bsky.social! Can’t wait to play awesome music and celebrate with you later!

Protect trans kids.

Fresh blog post!! Come see what we’ve been up to.

I bow low in apology for the tardiness of this month’s blog post.

Save on electricity by ditching your hair dryer and just windmilling until it’s dry after you shower

I really love the music community here on Bluesky! You’re all amazing, thanks for being our friends!

The Arboretum in Saline MI, August 28th featuring Nick Toburen and the Kick It Six.

For my birthday this year, Friday, September 11th, I want everyone to hang out with us at Detroit’s beloved Brewery Faisan, and give them a good show before they close down for good in October. No one will be turned away for lack of funds—I just want a fun party. Hope to see you there!

Always an amazing time at the Dreamland! Can’t wait to get back there and see some Ypsi pals

Hey Ypsi, heads up! Catch us at the Dreamland Theater August 29th.

Oshit, The Sad Hour just released a new music video. Go see @duchess-orlock.bsky.social be an absolute badass! youtu.be/1EqK7Ta1JZM?...

This band has never had a Facebook (I deleted mine back in ‘18), and we deleted our Instagram account last February. Last year we played 25 shows, and this year we’re on track to beating that record. So if you’re worried about leaving Meta and not getting booked, I’m here to say I believe in you.

Our supporters and friends are the best! We love all of them!

Izak.@izak-detroit.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We have some truly loyal fans who consistently support our art and we are just so depthlessly grateful

If you live in Michigan: go out and vote today in the midterm primaries if you are able! A win for Abdul El-Sayed is a defeat for AIPAC. If you aren’t registered to vote, check online to see if your polling place allows same-day registration.

Fresh blog post! Check out what we’ve been up to this month

Izak.@izak-detroit.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This month’s blog post is super (two days!) late, sorry. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll grow, you’ll have read a blog post. It’s got everything, including advice for new musicians about booking shows and stuff.

I had such a fun time dancing to the tunes of @izak-detroit.bsky.social tonight!! The crowd was great, the music was phenomenal, honestly my only qualm is that I forgot to eat dinner beforehand so I couldn't stay for the whole event🙃 But I'll just say, if you weren't there, YOU MISSED OUT💯

Do you live out near Paw Paw? Do you know someone who lives out near Paw Paw? Then send ‘em our way August 15th for a killer show! You can buy tickets in advance here: www.etix.com/ticket/p/831...

Double standards

Some unbiased independent journalism for y’all.

Oh! Did I MENTION that we’ll have a #burlesque dancer during one of our songs at the Ziggy’s show in Ypsilanti? That’s right; you can catch @amarettoscauldron.bsky.social up onstage with us July 31st—and make damn sure you bring plenty of dollah-dollah-bills to throw around like confetti.

SEE YA TONIGHT

Is this the best flyer @markbolohan.bsky.social has ever made for a show of ours? Quite possibly. Either way, you’ll wanna make it up to #Flint, MI, to see us and @swampratsmusic.bsky.social get ROWDY rowdy at Tenacity Brewing next Saturday! #folkpunk

Awwww shit, we’re gettin’ the super group together! It’s been about a year since we played a show with both @swampratsmusic.bsky.social and @yellatgod.bsky.social on the bill, but now we’ve also got @rentstrike.bsky.social up in the mix. Ypsi, do not sleep on this. #folkpunk

JK Rowling has used her wealth to stoke the fires of a worldwide pogrom against trans people to where she's silenced a Holocaust scholar after JK engaged in Holocaust denial & now done the same to Amnesty International for their warning about trans eradication, but keep buying your Harry Potter crap

Hey. If you fuck off immediately after your set and don’t stick around to watch the other bands, I DON’T respect you.
