In 2019 I lived in Portland, Oregon for a summer and was a guitarist and keyboardist for a band that could be best described as pure angst. The frontman turned out to be a total monster, we wrote basically the same song for an EP, we put out a single music video, I got electrocuted doing a show at a now closed venue, but it was an experience you should enjoy at least once!

🎸i just went to my first punk show in my city, since a friend of mine’s band was playing and he invited me. it was at 8pm at a coffee shop, and i felt very out of place at first among these people who are so much more incredibly cool than me. then, the music started, and i realized that i was headbanging just like everyone else. girls asked me to hold their things when they went to mosh, and i helped people up off the floor when they fell in the pit. it was a very unifying experience and i met lots of real weirdos (which i love). highly recommend

i was seeing the legendary midwest emo act Capn Jazz live at The Warsaw last night and told my friend "when they play the Take On Me cover, put me up"
the encore rolls around and they play it- next thing i know im crowd surfing while screaming every word.
i get thrown over the barrier and suddenly im standing next to Tim Kinsella who then forces me to sing the next chorus on the stage in front of everyone
adrenaline took over and next thing i knew i was shouting the chorus. voices cracks and all
never be too cool to crowd surf, mosh in the pit, and lose yourself in the music

It was mere months before "Nevermind" would change the entire pop universe, sweeping away the hair bands, the bullshit, the last vestigial remnants of the 80s that came before like so many tumbleweeds.
THE SETLIST OMG: Aneurysm, Breed, Love Buzz, In Bloom, Stay Away, Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, On a Plain, Sliver, I think Polly was the encore if I remember right (it was a long time ago).Â
Satyricon was a shitty, dumpy, dark little club (the CBGB of Portland basically) with smoke crusted ceilings and a permanent bad smell, I think it might have held 400 sweaty bodies, max? The venue handed out free bottles of champagne to celebrate new year and during the opening sets, a bunch of bottles had been thrown against the wall and broke -- Krist Novoselic came out onstage, swept away the glass, and played barefoot as he always did.Â
The year punk broke. It went mainstream. All my favorite noise/sounds were now headed to MTV and the radio and our little lives changed forever that night. (Supposedly Kurt met Courtney there so his did too, ha).

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
