Though I’ve enjoyed the surprise explosion of @anginedepoitrine , I’ve often thought that they’d benefit from a charismatic and dynamic singer. The team at @margaritavillenyc has risen to the challenge. Thank you @jimmybuffett for the inspiration always! 🍹🌴🌊
Out today! WaSaBi Trio’s debut album on @577records . Uncle Walter @walterthompson.soundpainting has been an important musical corruptor and collaborator with me for decades, but this album marks the first time going into the studio together. With support from @illybeats on drums, unconventional and inventive as always. /album/wasabi-trio or link in bio! 🎧✨🎉
WaSaBi Trio takes a trip to Brooklyn’s Ocean Parkway for the sweetly surreal “Outer Ballad.” With @walterthompson.soundpainting on piano, @illybeats on drums, and @prettymuchsamday on electric mandola/fx. Vid shot by Sam with video processing by @marblelobe 🫠
Full vid on YouTube and Bandcamp. Album drops very soon via @577records : /album/wasabi-trio
LA BANDA CHUSKA + our resident tape DJs @cassettejockeys (aka Erica Mancini and Sam Gøødy) at Cassette on Friday, April 3rd! Tickets on Dice and in band bio. 7:30 Doors! Vamosssss!!!
Rehearsals for HAMLET / THE FURIES are officially underway 🎭
Here’s @nolanjkennedy stepping into Hamlet - with original score by @prettymuchsamday
Directed by Jim Niesen, this production traces a striking arc — from the intimate unraveling of Denmark to the founding of a civic court in Argos. We’re approaching these plays not as distant classics, but as living inquiries that echo powerfully in our own moment.
Previews begin April 10.
🎟️ Tickets in bio.

Studio vid from the WaSaBi Trio sessions. Album dropping March 27th on @577records ! @walterthompson.soundpainting and @prettymuchsamday duo has been active since Sam was old enough to pick up an instrument, but we couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator on this record than the exploratory, but always propulsive @illybeats on drums and bamboo. Pre-order up at 577records.bandcamp.com 🎧🪐🎉
Helped produce this fundraiser album for the Rhythm in the Kitchen Festival. Featuring a wide spectrum of NY experimental music nuggets recorded live at the festival over the years. Enjoy! Donations appreciated as we gear up for another festival in April! Album art by @bad_conditions . 🪐
