CHICAGO! This Friday, the Kilbourn Park 2026 Summer Concert Series kicks off for FREE from 6-8pm! Smut will headline (think The Sundays with a pop-punk twist) and Hollow Bastion are opening (twangy indie rock like Florry or Ratboys) Expect a very chill vibe: picnic blankets, leashed dogs, byob!

as expected, Damen bus from the Rosalía concert chock full of mantillas and priest collars

so cool that a trillionaire exists and i am struggling to pay for dental and medical care (i have insurance through my day job!!!!). i just want to be able to afford my tiny little life and be an artist and invest in the city i have lived in for 17 years, jesus

i’m at the bar at Lula. i’m reading a book by one of the founders of The Toast. i’m drinking amaro and crushing a vegan crudite. the sofia coppola marie antoinette soundtrack is playing. i’m fifteen, i’m 23, i’m 34; time is a laminated pastry, dirty bathwater, confetti

here are my personal favorite records of 2025 (pt 1): 1. Emily Jane Powers - Earnest Jamming Partners 2. Sunny War - Armageddon in a Summer Dress 3. Cross Record - Crush Me 4. Nona Invie - Self-Soothing 5. Lido Pimienta - La Belleza 6. Pictoria Vark - Nothing Sticks

it rules that every day now is just watching everything in your life get more expensive and worse and then also constantly being told that nothing is more expensive or worse

I just realized that I have been writing songs and playing shows for 10 years.

spent eleven hours at O’Hare yesterday and did not get to where I was going. a theme of late! perhaps the universe will cut me a break soon but I doubt it 🙃

rolling back into Chicago after an eleven hour drive / tour listening to WBEZ and boy did the vibes shift horribly

bleak fucking outlook for our stupid species

Playing NYC tonight with Kitba in the Village! Full band, early show, come see us if you’re around: www.eventbrite.com/e/half-gring...

gathered in Albuquerque this weekend to celebrate one my dearest friends, Evan, who died after a year and a half of living with an aggressive cancer. holy cow I love him so much, he taught me how to make art bravely and was such a champion of my music. i will try my best for you sweet boy 💗
