Welcome to Thursty Thursday, an update bulletin on all things Addie. The name is in omage to the wonderful Thursday nights I spent drinking with the women's ultimate frisbee team my freshman year of college. Yes, I left the team after a year and yes, I left college after two years, but, as everyone knows...
You can take the girl away from thursty thursdays... but you cannot take the thursty thursdays away from the girl.
I am the girl, today is Thursday, and I hope you are thursty because bottoms up baby!
UPCOMING SHOW
I will be performing 30 minutes of music with Mitch on Saturday at El Cid at 8pm! I'm opening for Geordie Kieffer so the night will be absolutely bat shit. Also Mitch will no only be playing with me, but he will also be playing with Geordie. So... this is gonna be a big night for the Mitch Heads out there.
I'm planning on performing some NEW, NEVER BEFORE HEARD SONGS, so uhhhh yeah I am very very excited.
MERCH EXPERIMENTATION
It always feel a little odd to promote yourself, but especially so when the world is feeding you crazy horrors right to your phone. Do I post about every awful thing? Do I absolutely never post any awful thing? Do I post anything? Ever? Should I go to the mountains and chuck my phone into the abyss?
After careful consideration I have decided on a less drastic answer.
I will be selling a brand new collage print and all the proceeds will go to this GoFundMe for 14 families affected by the LA ICE raids.
I'm stoked. It feels really good on my nervous system to make art (positive feeling) that helps donate money (positive feeling) because of a horrible occurance (negative feeling.) With all of them together, the positive wins! Another day away from the mountain and the abyss!
I'm also going to be selling prints of my collages from my 30 day challenge. Do you have any favorites you'd like to see available?
Merch for experimenting so far:
- burned CDs of my ALBUM!
- shirts and socks and underwear I tie dyed
- signed (and written/doodled on) collage prints
MESSY MUSIC
Lastly and honestly, most excitingly, I am putting a finger on something that has been calling to me for a while now.
I think it's easier than ever to make things that are "good" so therefore... good is not interesting to me. Good is boring and safe and conservative. Good is neutral. Good is death. Good must be avoided at all costs.
I want bad. I want mistakes and fuck ups and total fuckery. I want joy for joy sake, everything else be damned!
So... I will be releasing a super rough demo cut of an 11 minute track that holds three new songs that Mitch and I stumbled and pummeled through last night.
We would talk for an hour, smoke a spliff bowl, cry about something beautiful, start jamming, and then all of a sudden we're hitting record and letting whatever happens happen.
We started at 6pm and we're calling it quits at 12:30am.
I don't know what will happen EXACTLY, but these days I'm just trying to move faster than I can doubt myself. Apparently that means I have to move like fucking lightning. So. Here we go!
I WILL BE UPLOADING TO BLACK BOX MOMENTARILY. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR INBOX.
It's called "wednesday june 25th" and it will be released on saturday june 28th on bandcamp for everyone to listen to. :)
