I am staying in Brooklyn but I think I saw this one on instagram and thought it was interesting. I really like fantasy of a broken heart, maruja sound cool and I really want to check out shallowater, they put out one of my favorite albums last year, i think they will be a standout for people that go
Amazing lineup!! Just checked and I already saved Maruja to check out so we’re aligned there. The Montréal scene is pushing out some sick artists, hopefully we’ll get them to come through bk soon too 🤞🏽

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
Come hang with some PI.FYI folks at Franklin Park in Crown Heights in Brooklyn on 7/19 @ 6:30. riotgrrrl and slowdazzle will be there too! Link is the Partiful invited!
