Dana Skully: “Dump The Bosses Off Your Back” Originally penned by John Brill in the 1919 edition of Songs Of The Workers, “Dump The Bosses” became one of Utah’s signature songs in his revival of the music of the IWW. #danaskully #utahphillips #industrialworkersoftheworld #iww

Almost forgot to post about this one at the end of the month with rippers @constantheadacheisaband @lootertheband @crickettheguy DM for the address :)

Last Year I did an event to honor my sweet friend who passed. I miss Matt all the time, sometimes the wind blows just right and I feel like they’re still here, or I’ll hear a laugh, or a smile, and they’re still around. My life centered around grief for so long, as friends and family seemed to check out randomly, and I was left to clean up the mess, and as anyone who’s ever done the work knows, a single mess sucks, but once they start to pile on, it begins to feel almost impossible. This birthed this concept, a single day to be able to honor the friends and family we’ve lost, be it our friend who has recently gone, or those were finally getting around to grieving in a meaningful way. Thank you to Healer for allowing me the opportunity to have this. Thank you to all the artists involved. Thank you to @karly.wav for the beautiful flier. Thank you to all of my friends I’ve ever cried on, who have comforted me over the years. The load is heavy, and the silence is sometimes deafening. And I’ve been frozen and torn apart by griefs teeth for years now. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one. @smeagol_trahald0 will be opening, the are one of my favorite people here. And it means a lot to finally have them opening a show for me. @homage.indy is one of the best math rock bands in the city. Some of the sweetest most genuine souls I’ve ever gotten the pleasure to talk to. Producing these amazing tunes consistently. @thlurmband rarely is a two piece powerviolence ever this good. DIY through and through, and hearts on their sleeves who have always believed in what they can do to better themselves and their community. @onegoodyearband is only here for one year. Composed of my sweetest friends from Chicago, and familiar faces here. Everytime I’ve gone to Chicago in the past few years I’ve run into one of them. And everytime it’s a treat. @danaskully317 Dana has been a long time friend, even having songs about mutual friend. Constantly impressed by their talent and their community efforts. The world would be a worse place if not for them and the comforts they give to others with their folk guitar soundscapes. Benefit for Rental aid for Students in Minnesota

I get back from tour in a little under 2 week and then we have this banger of a house show with @gregrekus and @lootertheband !!! Come cuddle my cats with me :)

Hello all, we’ve organized a benefit show to raise funds for rent relief for families affected by the current violent occupation in Minnesota. There will be: music, free food and a raffle for prizes, including art, jewelry, and a free piercing from metamorphosis so bring cash! Aside from the many reasons we should be supporting community in Minnesota, our friends in Minneapolis have been close collaborators and contributors to RATS Harm Reduction since the beginning. This is the very least we could do to stand in solidarity with them. 🖤 Friday, February 6th 2026. Dm for address. Doors at 5 music at 6. Suggested donation of $10-$20 NOTAFLOF.
