some activities and an early December Phantom Erratic

[Neil Young, Cloaca]

Ugh. It's been a rough week. My usual motivation has taken a pretty nasty hit under such a climate of anxiety. ...and especially hard to see so many of my friends, especially the ones who are not white-cis-hetero dudes like me, trying to take care of themselves and their families in the wake of the insecure-rich-white-nationalist-rapist-in-chief's rise to power and their attempted normalization. I don't have much else to say other than I'm burning with many of you in anger and sadness. I'm gonna continue to be a weirdo artist and do my best to use whatever I got to defend and be in solidarity with those of us who are under-attack. Our resistance will come in many beautiful and confounding forms, crucial to stretching paralyzed minds and pushing our butts into action. Please friends, don't stop!

First and foremost, another Phantom Erratic has appeared for early December. I'll spit out another reminder once the new month hits, but I wanted you to get this on your calendars:

Phantom Erratic #11

Sunday DEC 4. 8pm -11:30pm $10 
@ Jane Doe Jr. (above John Doe Jr. Records and Books) Greenfield, MA

Azpackt 
Pod Blotz 
Craow 
Boy Harsher

Azpackt featuring the wild elektroacoustic acrobatics of Sack Nippleman and Neroli Garblianno from the base of Vesuvius in Campanialand, Italy. 
Pod Blotz is Suzy Poling, Los Angeles' finest crafter of shattered light and sound refractions and otherworldly crystalline audiovisuals.

Craow is some spooky industrial throbbing emanating from a collapsed factory in Providence. 
Boy Harsher is our own homegrown synth driven dark electro sputter duo. 

It'll be a killer night of weirdo electronic music/sounds with artists from far away who rarely if ever make it out to these parts. Please bring your friends!
