A Packed Room at Pianos

We had an incredible night on the Lower East Side at Pianos on Friday. Thanks to everyone who came out and packed the room!

An I Have a Dream Pop Festival night

The show was part of the I Have a Dream Pop Festival, and we got to share the stage with Diary, Day & Dream and headliners The Veldt.

It was a unique lineup, and The Veldt’s stage presence was something else. They’re really inspiring, and I’ve loved getting to know everyone on the bill.

Back in New York

I’m really thrilled to have a good reason to come back to New York City, share our songs and be part of a night like this.

This was our third Darksoft show in New York City, and it’s refreshing to see more and more faces in the crowd every time we come out.

Thank you

A huge thank you to organizer Dave, aka Telepathic Windows, and to Dig Dug Dig Productions for putting this together and for investing in the shoegaze and dream pop community. We hope to be part of this event series going forward.

A big shoutout to my band, Jacob, Justin and Matt, and to the amazing partners who came along for the trip. I’m glad we made a thing out of it.

And thanks to Elizabeth, Carolyne and Phantom Wave for capturing footage of us live. The live shots in this post are stills from their videos.

See you again sometime, New York.
