November 7th feat. special guests
@how_things_are_made

OPEN/EXPERIMENT nights at The Space Upstairs are sober-events that invite the audience to create a personalized experience by bringing their own artistic projects — writing, sketching, photography, painting, knitting, homework, vibes, etc — to engage in their own creativity during the event!

Doors 6:30pm. Music 7 to 11pm. $15. Come and go as you please.

Several error messages, a skull, the moon, and one (1) basketball also appear in the promotional materials. They are not performing.

Hopefully the algorithm will be cool. Sharing helps.

This is the Grip released one year ago today. Brain, Dave, Matt, and I set up shop after hours in a music class room at Pitt. Samantha and Ben did some brain-chemistry-altering overdubs across the country. Life affirming moments were captured and turned into the record you can listen to now and hopefully later. I’m so proud of what we were able to achieve. Here’s to many more.
