Local shows like last night are a very special thing. The lineup and the crowd and the set lists felt so right and all the songs felt alive (yes, even "Is He Alive" 😂). Thank you everyone who came out last night and extra special thanks to those of you who came out from both near and far to see me support @painintheyeahs and @raleighlights. You are a big reason why I get asked to play shows at all 🖤 I appreciate the heck out of you and I hope it shows. Thank you Josh Howell for sharing some moments from my set and letting me use them 🖤 #757music #757artist #757nightlife #gothicrock #postpunk #postpunkrevival #darkwave #newwave

@angelmetro swag pleasently surprised me today when I got home from work 🖤 Good days get better for when dark days need bright lights. #angelmetro . . . . . . . . . #goth #art #artist #gothguy #gothboy #gothstagram #gothsofinstagram #darkwave #newwave #darkelectronic #synthpop #coldwave #darkpop #retrowave #electronicmusic #gothaf #gothmusic #gothgoth #gother #gothgothgoth #musicproduction

I'd been wanting to get a new guitar for playing live because I didn't like the feeling of bringing a several hundred dollar guitar on stage with me (I recently got a new laptop for performing live for the same reason). My stratocaster had been getting kind of beat up and I could feel the wear and tear on it. I wanted a cheap guitar that wouldn't set me back to replace in a big way if anything happened to it, so I needed to know that I could make it feel and sound like my stratocaster while being less than $150. Bonus points if it matched my #goth aesthetic better than my original guitar. Settled on this Squire bullet strat and am very happy with it so far! Just played for about two hours and made some very minor adjustments to the EQ on my FX chain to get it on a good spot. I'm absolutely in love with the textured look and the black tuners too 😍. Can't wait to play my next show with it on the 1st with @raleighlights and @painintheyeahs at Taphouse in Norfolk 🖤

*New Show Announcement* 📢💥🔥😍🔥

I've been a lot more active in promoting The Purge lately because that seemed to be where most of my momentum was and I have a string of releases and videos already lined up for the next year for the project. It's taken a lot of energy and planning to get that far with it but it's given me a lot of confidence and energy. But even with that confidence, I still have so many days where it feels like I have 100 times as many problems as I have energy to fix/answer them. When I heard Hindu Pez's song "Paralyzed By Depression" I felt it's simple, but relatable message sooooo much. I've been feeling that there's a lot of freedom in being transparent about your struggles and letting yourself be vulnerable. So I took the phrases, "I have a lot of problems" and "it's really difficult for me to happy" and I screamed them as hard and for as long as my breath would let me on this remix. Strangely enough, doing so made me feel a whole lot better. I guess my point is that it's better to let it out then to leave it in, and it should be okay to admit that it's really difficult to be happy sometimes. Maybe that's a step towards actually finding happiness? Anyway, check out my remix on the new Hindu Pez record 🖤 . . . . . . #nurblack #goth #industrial #gothindustrial #aggrotech #vocoder #gothmusic #gother #electronicmusic #darkelectronic #flstudio #ebm #techno #darktechno #darkness #synths #distortedvocals #techno #evil #void #electro #flstudio #gothgoth #gothgothgoth #gothaf

Ending 2018 watching Pokémon with Zeke. Last night felt like the new years celebration for me. Got to spend the night performing and dancing and surrounded by some of my favorite people. I suspected that it wouldn't stay there for long (and I was right; it dipped a lot throughout the day today), but I got to perform my latest single while it was #1 on the Bandcamp Goth charts. I get to say that it spent a few days there and that says a lot about the power of a great local scene and some of the awesome people I've gotten to know online. Word of mouth during Christmas week is really all it had going for it to make that pop happen and that's something I don't take for granted. So, anyway, Happy New Year to anyone reading this! I'm going to try and call it an early night, but keep being lovely and enjoy your evenings 🖤
