#2021 October daily art challenge

[encantober-official]

#encantober

Encantober is an Encanto fandom event with themes for each day of the month of October (link to theme list in a copy/pasteable format Here), inspired by the concept of Inktober. Encantober is open to any and all content, including art, drabbles, one-shots, and more.

Fanworks can be shared via the #Encantober tag on tumblr and/or posted as part of the AO3 collection HERE.

Rules:

Works must be a part of the Encanto (2021) fandom. OCs, AUs, and crossovers are permitted.

Works must adhere to one of the Encantober themes.

Series of Encantober works are welcome.

No incest.

QA:

Q: Can I link prompts together? Or multiple prompts into one work? A: Linking works together to create a story series is a wonderfully creative idea! However, combining multiple prompts into one work defeats the purpose of the daily prompt challenge. Each work (or chapter in a series) should focus on one prompt.

Q: Do I have to participate every day? A: You do not have to participate every day. This is meant to be fun, so please don’t stress yourself out. 

Q: Do I need to publish my work on the specific day listed? A: No. We ask that you not publish before the specific day you're filling, but we will reblog late entries.

Q: Why aren’t my posts being reblogged? A: Either you posted it out of order (we will reblog late prompts, but not early ones!), forgot to tag #Encantober, or the admin team just missed it! We’re doing the best we can across timezones <3 

Browse:

Use the links below to find the works for each prompt in our archive!

1 Sunset, 2 Siblings, 3 Reunion, 4 Mystery, 5 Cold, 6 Heart, 7 Storm, 8 Question, 9 Time, 10 Help, 11 Liminal, 12 Nerves, 13 Fear, 14 Safety, 15 Midnight, 16 Grief, 17 Home, 18 Sleep, 19 Clock, 20 Vision, 21 Age, 22 Reflection, 23 Roots, 24 Memory, 25 Quiet, 26 Lost, 27 Grave, 28 Moon, 29 Mask, 30 Blood, 31 Sunrise

The Suptober23 Check-In!

As you may have noticed, today (October 15th) marks the last consecutive day of our prompt list for 2023, and that means no more daily reminders. But that doesn't mean it's all over--and I'm not just talking about that day 31 prompt either! If you're anything like me, you've still got a few days to catch up on (including today's haha oops!) Or, maybe you wanted to join, but you missed the start and thought you couldn't. Jump on in and post those things! Use the rest of the month to get them done! And don't forget to add them to the Ao3 Collection. Also, hey, keep on using that #suptober23 tag so we can find your stuff!

If you managed to knock this challenge out of the park and complete all 15 prompts already, this doesn't mean you have to stop creating. If you're still hungry for more, I'm betting you can find some prompts on old suptober lists, or from friends, or, hey, you could even jump onto the #inktober prompt list if you wanted! The sky is the limit, and you've unlocked God Mode. Congrats to you, my friend. I am envious of your time management skills.

I want to give a massive shout out and thank you to all of you who have worked so hard these last two weeks to bring us such a treasure trove of new art and stories. Thank you for the time you spent creating, and thank you to all the people who've been so kind and encouraging to each other throughout the event. Suptober only is what it is because of all of you. And it is pretty incredible, if you ask me.

Now, how about a few resources? Prompt Lists

BALITANG HANEP: Filipino Brony YouTuber releases animated parody music video of 'Somepony That I Used to Know' (updated as FINAL!!!)

(Prepared by Craig Ichabod Williams / Herkleton Oaks Elementary School news intern of Cartoon Network News)

(art photo from Makaryo via Twitter Banner)

MAKATI, MANILA -- A Filipino YouTuber named "Makaryo" created a popular animated parody music video featuring Princess Twilight Sparkle of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is a current broadcast president of the Equestrian Broadcasters Association (EBA) and a former Radyo Bandera Patrol news reporter, Station Manager and President of both OneNETtv Channel and OneNETnews. Mordecai from the Regular Show is also featured in the music video, in a crossover ship with Princess Twilight. The parody is based on a hit song 'Somebody That I Used to Know' by Gotye and Kimbra.

The creator "Makaryo", is known for making animated fan parody music videos of the same cartoon show. He is from the Philippines and created his YouTube channel back in mid-December 2015. The video features Princess Twilight Sparkle and Mordecai, who are depicted as each other's love interests in a realistic setting in a fast-paced timelapsed color painting while singing along with the fan parody animated music video.

In a fanfiction story called Earthworm Zim - Chapter 14: Part 2, Princess Twilight had been reportedly heart broken for a while in most reasons after being loved to someone else, known as the cheating point. One of her friends named Mordecai helped her heal and they eventually fell in love. This fanfiction story continues well smoothly.

(amateur art photo via BlueDog444)

As we all learned that the "BlueDog444" is not actually the originator. Because of a viralistic meme in 2020, internet artists began parodying and/or redrawing the amateur classic art, eventually leading to the creation of the 'Redraw MordeTwi Challenge'. It was first posted an amateur drawing of Mordecai and Princess Twilight wishing to arrive on the airplane.

The shipping couple "MordeTwi" originated from a fan artist and fanfiction author named "CartunesLover16" on a website called DeviantArt in the United States of America (U.S.A.). They shared their artwork and stories in late October 2011, which led to the creation of this shipping name. The said pairing has become quite popular in the crossover fandom on both shows in different cable networks in America. Equestria Daily, a website that tracks Brony fandom and news surrounding the show reports – that the said animated music video is inspiring for generations. The original artwork went viral and thus attracted a lot of attention. They even appeared on many TV shows, images and music videos as their relationship became famous among the fanbase.

To sum it all up, Makaryo's animated music video for "MordeTwi" has received widespread acclaim for its creativity and quality animation. This has also contributed to the growing popularity of MordeTwi's over the pairing.

A big SPECIAL THANKS to collector1observer via Tumblr for the story clarification, as edited out in portion of its paragraphs.

INKMalia

I (godofallthings) declare TODAY is the start of Season of Slayers.

For the past 3 years, we have participated in Inktober with DISMALIA by writing and inking scenarios in response to the prompts from the notorious daily art challenge every October.

Beginning in October 2021, we created traditional comic-style illustrations with pen on paper for this challenge to further explore concepts, themes and ideas for DISMALIA.

(Variation of the logo for our challenge designed by godofallthings)

After this brief introduction, I will be sharing our entries from 2021 as separate posts, complete with lore from each scenario.

If you enjoy our content - please follow and like our posts. Your support means a great deal to us. Thank you.

My favourite pieces from Cringetober this year.

Vent about art struggles and mental health below break.

Man, this October kicked my ass. I've been doing all sorts of October challenges every year since 2017 and usually half of the year's best art comes from them. For 2021 and 2022 I did a promptless artober/drawtober challenge just to get me back into drawing and painting after burnout and it's worked wonders to get the creative juices flowing.

This year was different though. Massive stress and negative life events have been kicking my ass since May and I had 1-2 months of no drawing in July and August because of moving houses. I've felt like I lost my art ability in that time (not that I was that great to begin with lol) and I hit a slump, with a feeling of regression.

I had high hopes for October though. The daily drawing spurt usually helps with those slumps and I get many sparks of happiness and inspiration. I felt like the art burnout was far enough behind me, that I could challenge myself with a fun prompt list and just enjoy doodling silly stuff.

Instead, I just struggled. Everything felt bad since day 1 (I tried making a new drawing then, but after 2 hours of struggling and just not being able to draw what I wanted, I posted a drawing I completed 2 days earlier that happened to fit the prompt. It was cheating, but at the same time not, because I had made it in one day).

I just felt frustrated, like I couldn't draw or paint at all and those art muscles just wouldn't wake up. And that feeling hit me in the face again and again 31 times. I'm still not sure, what was different this year... Am I not fully aware of the toll this year has had on me and this was just a symptom? Is my dead beat job fucking me up so bad? Was my new and very different sketchbook contributing to the feel and look of making art? Was doing prompts adding too much challenge for me after all? Did the fact that I didn't get as much external validation, affect the feel of everything? (I had 600+ followers on Twitter and this was my first year not posting there, but to new platforms instead so there was wayyyyyy less likes and such. I know you shouldn't care about that but external validation feeds my nonexistent self esteem too well). Did I have too much internal mental pressure to only make amazing shit, because I'm on new platforms where I should build an audience?

I don't know. We'll see how I think and feel about all this as time goes by. We'll see if I'll do promptless stuff next year instead or not even do a challenge at all.

My mental health overall is in shambles and the feeling of isolation, hopelessness, anxiety and dread gnaw up on me every day more and more. I don't know when I'll pick up the pen next, but when I do, I hope I have found a chill and easy way to loosen up and build back that deteriorated skill.

[saveraedae]

Why is the october challenge not every day?

Ok, so the first year that the TMS October Challenge EVER happened, it technically was every day. (Though it still had a few make up days, which used to be called "make up / redo days" throughout it.)

I made it for me personally, but I posted the prompt list in the (at the time owned by me) TMS Discord server and other people wanted to participate as well.

...That shit was HARD. To have to come up with a full drawing on the spot every single day really burnt some people out. So every following year, I experimented with how I could slice the prompts up in a way to where me and other people wouldn't end up seeing the challenge as a burden, and still have fun.

I don't remember the exact prompt lists from the past years since pretty much all the content from there is lost due to raids, but I think 2019 and 2020 was every 3 days with no make up days, and 2021 was the start of them lasting every 2 days with one make up day a week. (I could be wrong though, i don't have the calendars to look back on.)

TLDR: It's not everyday because daily art prompts like that are nearly impossible to complete whilst still having fun.

London, San Marino, Toronto - October 2023

Just back from fabulous art viewing experiences abroad and in Toronto. Stopovers included: Frieze London, Frieze Masters and the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in London as well as the Philip Guston exhibit at the Tate Modern; La Galleria Nazionale in the Republic of San Marino; and Art Toronto in Hogtown. The whole, for the most part, was enjoyed in the context of a three week stay in Italy where the hilltop medieval village of Petritoli, located in Le Marche, served as home base, and offered spectacular vistas of land, sea and mountains, all longstanding muses throughout history. Without looking too hard, traces of Ellsworth Kelly’s curves, Jasper Johns’ crosshatches and Frank Stella’s grids could all be seen in the roofscapes and landscapes, providing a breathtaking backdrop to daily activities, whether art related or other.

London

The transition from bucolic and sunny Petritoli to chaotic and rainy London was drastic but exhilarating. Frieze Week in mid-October is the global launching pad for the all-important fall season in the art world. With summer days in the rear-view mirror, an intense focus radiated from the London art scene with the convergence of exhibit openings, important contemporary and modern auctions, and preeminent art fairs. While the weightiness of a challenged economy and ongoing wars was perhaps most evident in the squishy auction results, elsewhere, the mood and excitement were upbeat as fair venues and exhibits were flooded by art fans and aficionados.

Frieze London and Frieze Masters art fairs ran concurrently under the stars, so to speak, in separate tents in the wonderful greenspace of Regent’s Park. Frieze London’s defining focus is on living artists and contemporary art. This year’s edition, the 20th, included over 160 participating galleries with a strong contingent of 40 or so international exhibitors. Noteworthy was the caliber of presenting galleries and works on display. While remaining very faithful to the contemporary focus, large well-established mega galleries were ever so present along with their roster of anointed stars, perhaps at the expense of the more experimental flair historically more synonymous with Frieze. A walking distance away through a maze of outdoor sculptures, Frieze Masters hosted over 130 galleries that showcased an eclectic mix of art works ranging from archaeological finds dating to thousands of years BC to 20th century masterpieces. Fair highlights included:  Tabboo!’s “Desert Moon”, 2021, acrylic on canvas (60 x 50 in.); Simone Leigh’s “Untitled”, 2022, stoneware, 25.75 x 11.75 x 16.5 in.); and Anna Mark’s “R 1002”, 1968, synthetic resin, sand, pigment on canvas, mounted on wooden frame (20 x 20.25 in.).

Elsewhere in the city at Somerset House, the 11th edition of 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair was in full swing with a line-up of over 60 galleries showcasing more than 170 artists. There, the excitement of discovery and seeing new things being done by emerging talents was palpable. Highlights included: Godwin Champs Namuyimba’s “Fathering spirit”, 2023, acrylic on canvas (90.5 x 78.75 in.); Emmie Nume’s “When we use to”, 2021, mixed media on paper (55.5 x 41.75 in.); and a pair of works by Theresa-Anne Mackintosh, “Walking with my body conscious” and “Comfortably dazed”, 2023, oil and acrylic on canvas (each, 34.25 x 39.5 in.).

Also in London, a captivating Philip Guston retrospective was being held at the Tate Modern. Spanning a 50-year career, the comprehensive survey included everything from the artist’s more classical early works to pieces depicting his fiery brand of abstraction and, most prominently, paintings and drawings featuring his iconic comic-like figures and imagery that captured the anxious and turbulent world around him. The whole made for an intense and sometimes unsettling experience. While the museum walls were bursting with large scale masterworks that chronicled the Guston story, it was a small self-portrait that was most memorable - “Untitled”, 1968, acrylic on board. Barely noticeable behind the artist’s gaze painted in the foreground were the remnants of an earlier work of a hooded figure. The effect hauntingly captured Guston’s lifelong nightmarish preoccupation with racism.

San Marino

The next art stop was an unplanned pleasant surprise that surfaced during a day trip to San Marino. Located on the northeastern side of the Apennine Mountains and surrounded by Italy, San Marino is the fifth smallest country in the world, and it boasts a historic center high up on Monte Titano at approximately 2500 feet above sea level that features three medieval towers dating back to the 11th century. There was almost a Vegas-like surrealness to the place with throngs of tourists making the pilgrimage to take in the spectacular views and medieval setting. Nestled in one of the few quiet corners of the historic city and a bit isolated from the many churches, palazzos and eateries was La Galleria Nazionale di San Marino, the country’s center of modern and contemporary art.Housed in the renovated Logge dei Volontari, the museum is dedicated to showcasing its collection of post war art which was amassed from international art biennials held in San Marino beginning in the mid-50s. It was totally surprising to come across fantastic works by lesser-known American artists, including: James Brown’s “Opera Contro Natura”, 2003, mixed media and collage on folded linen (59 x 98.75 in.); and David Row’s “B.N.I.”, 1992, oil on canvas (in three parts, overall, 66 x 85.75 in.).

Toronto

Returning back from the old world with only one viewing day left at Art Toronto, the opportunity was seized to cap off the art adventure with a visit to Canada’s premiere contemporary and modern art fair. While the corridors were filled with rumblings of challenging times, the viewing experience was fantastic. Over 100 galleries took to the floor of the Toronto Metro Convention Center and offered up works from over 1000 artists. As a bonus, the launching of Jack Bush’s catalogue raisonné drew out many of his works that were scattered throughout the fair, including two favorites: “Untitled”, 1962, gouache on paper (35.25 x 23 in.); and “Red, Orange, Green”, 1965, serigraph, edition 67 of 100 (25.5 x 20 in.). Other fair highlights included: Emma Kohlmann’s “Tulip”, 2023, oil on linen with cherry frame (14.25 x 12.25 x 1.25); Catherine Desroches’ “Déliason du corps contre le ciel”, 2023, bronze, pine, plywood, lost wax casting dust, foundry kiln ashes, graphite powder, charcoal on newsprint and on panel (84 x 49 in.); Marcel Barbeau’s “Iris”, 1962, acrylic on canvas (76.4 x 51.2 in.); and Jean-Paul Riopelle’s “Sans titre (1958.006P)”, 1958, oil on paper (25.5 x 19.75 in.).

Meanwhile, the sports scene in North America was frenetic with activity as all major sports leagues were in some state of play. In Dinoland, emotions were cautiously optimistic following a perfect pre-season and a home opener win. After that celebratory moment, however, reality set in for rookie Head Coach Darko Rajaković. Three losses later, the new system was being questioned, and all the ghosts of last year’s disappointing season were surfacing. A win against a star-laden Bucks team provided some glimmer of hope, but that too was soon quashed with a thumping courtesy of ex-Dino Head Honcho Nick Nurse and his 76ers. Can a Fredless team be so different? It’s got to be the system. It’s early, I know, but it doesn’t bode well. Up next, Wemby-mania in the Lone Star State. Ugh.

For more information on any of the artists or works mentioned, the fairs, exhibits, Petritoli and Coach Darko’s system, “Just Google It”.

There you have it sportsfans,

OOTD November 2022 Week 2

The second week of outfits from my yearly outfit of the day challenge! This is my fourth year and every year I try to do it the following month from the year before. I've done August (2019), September (2021), and October (2020) so far! Crushed my record last year of getting through 12 days! I'm up to 15 at this point!  I've had a lot of feelings this week about my fatness and relationship to my body and how fashion factors into that. It's been an interesting art project to work on! I'm posting every day on twitter, tumblr, and instagram if you want to keep up daily!

#encantober

Encantober is an Encanto fandom event with themes for each day of the month of October (link to theme list in a copy/pasteable format Here), inspired by the concept of Inktober. Encantober is open to any and all content, including art, drabbles, one-shots, and more. Content can be shared via the #Encantober tag on tumblr and/or posted here as part of the AO3 collection HERE.

Rules:

Works must be a part of the Encanto (2021) fandom.

Works must adhere to one of the Encantober themes.

Series of Encantober works are welcome.

No incest.

QA:

Q: Can I link prompts together? Or multiple prompts into one work? A: Linking works together to create a story series is a wonderfully creative idea! However, combining multiple prompts into one work defeats the purpose of the daily prompt challenge. You don’t have to create a work for each day unless you want to. You can pick however many prompts and post the completed works on the specific days.

Q: Do I have to participate every day? A: You do not have to participate every day. This is meant to be fun, so please don’t stress yourself out. 

Q: Why are milk and otters on this list? A: Pure self indulgence! Both are fandom jokes that have mutated over time. There was a milk day held on July 25th of this year we thought we should honor and there have been a few drabbles and art pieces made surrounding Bruno and otters (water rats). Fun Fact: Otters are native to Colombia! 

Q: Why aren’t my posts being reblogged?

A: Either you posted it out of order (we will reblog late prompts, but not early ones!) or the admin team just missed it! We’re doing the best we can across timezones <3

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day (green tea.) Welcome to the weekend!

Wow! Here we are again: Friday! Where did that week go? No, seriously, where did that week go?

First of all, many thanks to everyone that got involved with Throwback Thursday on my page. Yesterday’s word was CULTURE and the responses were – as you’d expect - cultural. Everybody that’s connected to me on social media, the ‘culture’ that we belong to is probably different to most people on this earth. We are unique and that’s why we get on. We are multi-cultural. We accept, we enjoy, we embrace and we love each other, no matter the race, creed, colour or sexual orientation. We mix, we collaborate, we socialise, we fuse, we create new forms of art. We don’t just partake in culture, we are culture.

Although it ended in 2021, we’ve only just finished watching ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’. For the last few months, it’s been our go-to show while eating lunch or dinner. Why did it end? The changing public attitude towards the police. It was difficult for the ‘Nine-Nine’ cast to keep up the charade that police people could be sensitive, humane and law-abiding. For black people, it’s always a daily struggle (365 days of every year) but, since George Floyd, everyone and everything has been under a microscope a.k.a. the camera phone. (The black mum being arrested in front of her traumatised kid for alleged ‘fare evasion’, for instance!) My Twitter feed is FULL of American news stories (that you won’t see in the UK) about officers of the law going to prison for assorted crimes.

Yep, The T-Shirt King got rid of some T-shirts yesterday. The local recycling plant took custody of almost 30 T-shirts. Yes, I’ve got that many! They had to go! Many of them, I had worn to death! Brand new ones incoming!

In amongst all the prepping, teaching, marking, moderating, meetings and course-designing (comes up for air), in coming weeks, we’ve got lots to look forward to. It’s the Margate Soul Festival THIS weekend. The Trouble and I are coming down to Margate for the day on Saturday and I’ll be doing my radio show live from Olbey’s Cafe. Please pop in for a selfie! Got a big, music industry networking event on August 10th, we’re going to see Dolly on August 12th, The Trouble is selling jewellery at a craft fair in Monk’s Park on August 15th, got a garden party on August 20th, we’ll be at Panorama on August 26th to see our nephew Elijah perform with Metronomes, then I’m looking forward to TWO gigs on Bank Holiday Sunday: The White Lion All-Dayer and ‘Let The Music Play’ at Cinnabar in Stevenage (REALLY looking forward to that day!) We’ve got a wedding in Jamaica in mid-September and, of course, we’ll be back and forth to Hove regularly to see Lady Wesker. I’ve got one beautiful friend that I’m trying to make an arrangement to see and I literally have no space in the diary until October!

Really hope you can join me tomorrow at 1.00 p.m. for ‘The A-Z Of Mi-Soul Music’: The Letter P (Pt. 3). Margate: here we come! Somebody needs to contact The Guiness Book Of World Records. I shall be attempting a fairly challenging record: Most Selfies Taken In One Live Radio Broadcast.

Have a fabulous and funky Friday! I love you all. You’re probably thinking, “You don’t even know me!” but, if people can hate for no reason, why can’t I love?

Been listening to these lads since I discovered them last month. Their punk rock sound brings back memories of growing up by the beach and skating every summer. Here is my interview with Lickity Split

Can you tell us a little about Lickity Split? Members etc.

Lickity Split are a 4 piece punk rock band from little old Adelaide, South Australia. We first officially formed in 2020 after all 4 members (Connor Hudson, Jamie Selway, Reece Geaetz and Zak Stuart) all met studying music together at The University Of Adelaide. Obviously forming a band in 2020 presented some challenges but it also gave us time to really hone in on our live show. It also gave us the opportunity to record our first body of work. Our debut EP ‘Daily Dose’ was released in December 2020 and then we were off and running. Since then we’ve played many shows with amazing bands, released another EP, filmed a couple of music videos and just had a shit load of fun!

How did you come up with the band name?

Back in 2019 when we were still at Uni, this band was just an idea. Jamie and I (Connor) were in the very early stages of creating the band and I remember sitting in class and Jamie came straight up to me and said “I’ve got it.. let’s call ourselves Lickity Split.” I instantly loved it. Lickity Split means “as fast as possible” which suits our music pretty well I think. So we changed the ‘E’ to an ‘I’ and the name Lickity Split was born.

I apologise for just discovering you guys now. You released an ep titled “if symptoms persist in 2021. Have you got plans to release any new music soon?

We have got BIG plans for new music. We can’t disclose too much but let’s just say we’ve got a plethora of new material that we can’t wait to release. We’ve grown a lot as muso’s and songwriters since our first 2 EP’s so I think the songs are going to be even faster, louder and tighter than anything we’ve done before. Keep those eyes pealed because we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on this year!

“You don’t care” is on my current playlist. Great song. What is the story behind it? Who wrote the riff?

So the one and only Jamie Selway wrote ‘You Don’t Care’ back in 2018 for one of our uni recitals. The song has come a long way since then. It used to be a lot slower, much like many of our tracks. Once we started really jamming on it we realised that ‘You Don’t Care’ needed to be quicker. The song is actually about a one night that’s now lasted for 10 years.

Was is your career highlight?

That’s a hard question! We’ve had a few highlights since the birth of Lickity Split. I think selling out Lion Arts Factory for the ‘If Symptoms Persist’ launch would be up there. Getting played and preached on Triple J’s Short Fast Loud was pretty cool. We played the Space Jams festival in Robe during 2022. Also playing with The Terrys was pretty unreal. We do have more but those moments were pretty big for us.

What do you think of the Adelaide music scene?

We can’t speak highly enough for the Adelaide music scene. I don’t think words can really do it justice, you’ll just have to come to Adelaide and see for yourself. We’ve played with countless local bands in the last 2 years and we’re always blown away by the talent here.

What are\were some of your favourite venues to play?

There are many great venues in Adelaide so we’re going to miss a few but off the top of our head’s we’d have to say The Crown and Anchor, Jive, The Uni Bar, Lion Arts Factory and The Gov.

Any gigs/tours you would like to promote?

We don’t have any headline show’s booked in currently but we are performing in the Battle Of The Bands at The District Sky City on October 14th and would absolutely love as much support as possible! Other than that we are in the process of organising an interstate show early next year so definitely keep your ears and eyes out for that.

Who are some other adelaide bands we should have a look at?

Where do we even start?! There are so many incredible bands. We may as well start with some of our buddies in Lola, Looch, Nocturnal Animals, Down and Out, February Clouds, Lily Rose, The Lizards, Agapanther, Alright Psycho, Witch Hunt, Larsen, Jongo Bones and The Barefoot Bandits.. the list could go on honestly! Definitely get over to rAdelaide and go see some live bands. You won’t be disappointed.

What are your long and short term goals?

Well I think a big short term goal of ours is to do some interstate shows/a tour. We’ve been grinding gigs in Adelaide for almost 2 years now so we’d love to take our live show somewhere else and show the rest of Australia what we’re about! We’ve just released a podcast so another short term goal would be to grow the podcast into something bigger and see where it can go. In regards to a long term goal, we’ve always wanted to write an intro for a kids show.. we want to inspire that next generation of Aussie punks!! Nah in all seriousness though, we’d love to get to a point where we are known nation wide. We’ll just keep releasing music and playing shows and hopefully one day it will happen.

Finally, we can people find you? Socials etc?
