did not expect to catch a bunch of Italian punk bands from Como in the middle of England last night - but it was a dream. And a reminder of the fucking strange, beautiful nature of music, and the organic networks of community that blossom from picking up instruments and starting a band.
East Anglia has a p strong punk/hardcore/everything adjacent scene and a couple of old heads started a regular all-day gig - East Angrier. These heads had supported a band in Italy and they promised to return the favour.
So here they were, flooding the bar by early evening with sweat, angst, charm and frenetic bursts of Italian as they ordered pints of Guinness.

I was at my music organization's meeting yesterday and they brought up how the punk scene here is nonexistent. Just looking back and appreciating the bands keeping the scene alive back in my hometown! When I joined this org I had the vision of bringing these bands I befriended up to la because of the very fact there is no punk scene near me. Hoping this can come to fruition soon. I find there's so many talented artists everywhere, but sometimes their success is determined by access to resources.

๐ธ๐ฅ Thereโs something pretty wild about the fact that Ben Harding from Senseless Things was rocking a Three and a Half Minutes T-shirt on the front cover of Melody Maker.
We toured with them, supported them at The Square in Harlow and shared the same scrappy, do-it-yourself spirit, and honestly, they were a huge inspiration.
If you loved Senseless Things, or just lived for that era when punk was raw and alive, then check out my book โThree and a Half Minutes of Fameโ.

๐คMe and two other buds started talking about starting a punk band on Thursday, and now itโs Monday and we just had our first rehearsal/jam session and to say we are THE great American punk rock band is an understatement. I apologize for the disappointment when we actually release something.

๐งhappy sunday!
first consistent couple of days of rain in months maybe? it's running right off the bone dry fields and causing choas on the roads, but it smells like relief
