Here is a new video for “Playtime” from @guest_bartender_deborah_toyota my new band with the incredibly talented and mystical @im____constipated . I really, really loved the process of making this record with her. Pre-order the “Music for Babies” vinyl via @mysterycircles . Link in bio!
Floating in some cosmic void days later-it’s impossible to put into words to describe this year’s Hell in a Handbag , so I won’t. Thank you to everyone that came and supported , thank you to all the performers , and thank you to the best crew I could ever dream of : Miranda , Cesar , TJ , Eden , Carlos , Eliana, Nathaniel and the entire @Apocateca crew. Please email any photos and videos to [email protected]. We got something cooking for our archives.
