seriously, I havenāt done an introduction post yet??? letās remedy that -
Hi! iām J (he/him), a trans and gender-nonconforming musician, songwriter, and dj, based here in Baltimore.
You might know me as the guitarist from the queer noise-pop trio Manners Manners, with whom Iāve been going steady for a decade. Iāve been making ~guitar music~ as a solo artist and in bands for over 15 years now, with stints in The Selkies, Guided by Wire, Silence Kid, and a smattering of others.
Indie rock is the world I know best, and dance music is still something of a frontier for me. I approach djāing, humbly, as a largely untrained magpie collage artist. Being of service to a crowd in this role is uniquely rewarding, and presents history lessons and stimulating challenges to me at every turn. I donāt settle for creative endeavors that donāt scratch an intellectual itch, and this is no exception.
Iām risking being embarassingly sincere and serious here, so Iāll cut to the chase already: Iām throwing my first dance party, NEW DELUSION, next Saturday, December 14th, at the Club Car! Expect disco (old and nü), house, cunty techno, funk, indie sleaze, hi-nrg, hit āem, pop girlies, divas, Devo, freak wave, permanent wave, wave waveā¦will it cohere? Dive into my ephemera bin with me on the dance floor and find out <3
NU DELUSION no. 1
