Junkbox Community: Music Stuff
So recently we've been pretty busy with music stuff & it's all been really exciting so we thought we'd fill y'all in...
It all started with our trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas.
We had loads of different shows planned from Official Welsh Showcases to DIY House Parties. And it was this house party that really kicked things off.
Curated by an incredible bunch of folk Tiny Sounds Collective, a DIY organizing, recording & publishing collective based in Austin, TX. The lineup really was something to shout about with bands from across the US, Australia & the UK (that's us 😉)
On the bill were Australian band Sly Withers (who we love) so we got the chance to hang with them for a while & not only is their music awesome but they're also bloody lovely people too!
As it happens they were heading to the UK for a few shows in May & asked us to join them for 2 of their headline dates. Kismet right there!
And there's another friend that's popped up recently who's totally intertwined in this whole butterfly effect.
Invisible Ed gets his worldwide debut on our new video for 'Atrophy'. Animated by our good friend Paul (Ed 'Ache) over countless hours, days & weeks, he also happens to be a huge Sly Withers fan (and educated us on the band) The video follows a day in the life of our friend Invisible Ed.
He's always been there... (as you can see from the ace pics at Arnold House by Reillys Bad Photos that are far from bad!)
So, it's been a pretty wild time of late, our hearts are full with new friends & old and a sense of community that will see off the darkest of days.
If you have a moment please check out all these wonderful humans doing awesome things...
