@deadpeoplepark acoustic live set now available on @thevoidzoo YouTube channel. This is a vulnerable set recorded by @smittenterror at factory coffee on Frank St. 12/21/25 Though this set was an impromptu and by necessity, it felt intimate, raw and worth sharing. Lots of goofing w the crowd and sweet moments in this video. Thanks you Tyler Josephine Berg for capturing it! (From the Void Zine 6 Drop @factorycoffee on Frank St.) Link in bio!

A refreshed poster for zine 7 submissions! Wanted to offer a little more time to send in work and update the date for the zine release show. Still looking for photography and visual art for zine 7. if you have submitted before feel free to submit again! If we are strangers, friends, acquaintances and ya want to be involved with zine 7 or the void in general please message me! I absolutely love the process of making these zines and working so closely with local art in a very hands on way. (I collage all the submissions by hand!) Seeing the work yall put in is amazing and warms my heart. I love Kalamazoo and want to keep putting in the work to promote this beautiful scene we’re in through archival work and documentation. That being said
