Instagram Story Save

tw: musical theater.

Every few months I become obsessed with Sweeney Todd again. Positively fucked up how beautiful music can be. And then in the middle of all the dissonance and counterpoint, Sondheim can also just drop “Wait,” a totally straightforward hardly-more-than-2-chorder, but the melody is nakedly purely perfect in a way that all the 2-chord songs you hear from so many songwriters can rarely equal. (Well, the strings are doing some pretty complicated stuff i did not try to replicate on guitar…)

NEXT SHOW!

And it’s a good one!! @marjishemanski is one of the best songwriters I know and you should be anticipating her new release as much as I am. @elliemacphee I am not yet personally acquainted with but my research leads me to believe she will also be a formidable performer…!

FRIDAY MAY 15 YOUNG ETHELS MARK THE CALENDAR

Have applied to apartments recently so this song very much on the brain. The album version (that’s been out for about a year now) is damn good, if you haven’t heard.
Some chances to see me play in the coming weeks:
4/26 at LIC Bar w/ @smallchucks and @coldfakesmusic
5/1 at Freda w/ @landbandofficial
5/15 at Young Ethel’s w/ @marjishemanski and @elliemacphee
I am grateful that nice and talented people want me to play at their shows

Thanks to all who came out on Monday - next show of mine is as part of STUNLOCKED, a NEW group with @jo_ko995 and another secret musician who is too cool to use instagram. Only so many opportunities to see a band’s first ever show!

I finished this song yesterday, recorded myself playing it, and then immediately felt it was trash and should be thrown on the slush pile.

However I assume this experience is relatable so here I am posting it. I want to be more shameless.

How’s THIS for shameless: COME SEE ME PLAY NEXT MONDAY, THE 9TH, WITH A BAND, AT NIGHT CLUB 101.

On March 9 I am breaking my mutinous silence!!
I shall not bring disgrace upon Night Club 101.
New and very exciting configuration of Ewe Dew, plus 1 band I know for certain is very good, plus 1 band i have been told by a trustworthy source is very good!
Put it in your calendar. It’s the late show.

Reaction vid of my prized pig as I serenade it with “Radiator Hair.” In this song I rhyme “set” with “set.” I may decide to play this song this Friday night @loveless_coffees on a bill with @faceofancientgallery @sleephabits and the mysterious mononymous “Alexander,” curated by @goodenglishrecords. With Dweebs dead, WE ARE THE BELOVED COMMUNITY SPACE NOW. (There will be wine).

“Inviting Open Door”

“Apple-In-Eye”

If you hate this, good news, I’m not playing it or anything like it THIS MONDAY JULY 7 AT HART BAR, I’m playing, like, sinister prog rock or something with DRUMS

What the heck… I’m playing with a RHYTHM SECTION again.
“Ewe Dew the band”’s comeback happens this next midsummer Monday, sans fanfare. @quinnsometimes providing mathy freak folk, @pleasure.death conjuring noisegarage demons of a bygone decade, @ab__noxious doing i-don’t-know-what, debuting a new outfit I think.

- If you are looking to incorporate a new snack into your life, I have discovered that plain white miso spread onto a green apple is where it’s at.
- My new album is now streaming on all the usual evil platforms.
