10 years ago last night: Me and my pal (and then-bandmate) Barrett DJed the record release show for the Dead Leaf Echo/The Harrow split single, presented by Unraveled Artists at Sunnyvale in Brooklyn. Our friends Dead Leaf Echo and Bootblacks (who Barrett would join the following year) put on great performances and Nikki Battestilli did a cool dance choreographed to The Harrow’s “Dirty Minds.” This was the first time I DJed using my phone, andI had entirely too much fun; still happy with that playlist.

I lost a friend today, Gregg Foreman aka Mr. Pharmacist @mrpharmacist72
He reached out to me after I lost my longtime partner Sky/Scorpio @_scorpiorx . He did it because that’s who he was, someone who showed up for people in pain, quietly and without fanfare. He was always there to listen. He had been through his own fire and he used it to guide the way for others.
In the autumn of 2024, I brought him to Austin for LEVITATION @levitation and the 14th anniversary of NITE SCHOOL. Having him behind the decks was a masterclass in the "MOTH" aesthetic he lived by, and he was so excited to get a break from Los Angeles for a minute to the place he claimed was one of his favorite cities in the U.S.
Rest in power, Gregg. I'll miss your unique style and your silly humour. Thank you for the light and the music and your unforgettable kindness 💔
@_theveldt and @deadleafecho new music release party with @iceblynk 4-4-26 Baker Falls NY Tickets on Eventbrite The Veldt new single Black Girl on BandCamp /track/black-girl-single
This Saturday, April 4th at @bakerfalls Dead Leaf Echo will be celebrating the recent reissue of Truth. First released in 2010 on CD via German label 281 Records, the six-track EP marks the early beginnings of the Brooklyn shoegaze act. Mixed by John Fryer of This Mortal Coil, the songs reach heavenly heights. It is ethereal and reverb-soaked. LG Galleon’s vocals are front and center, often not the case in the genre. Now, @daydreamrecordsofficial has brought ‘Truth’ to vinyl for the first time, issuing it across four color variants (most of which are sold out). Fifteen years later, the release doesn’t feel like an artefact. It feels overdue.
Dead Leaf Echo plays with @_theveldt and @iceblynk - tickets are on sale now.
