In celebration of my first year out of uni and into the "real world," I would be so excited to see some mates at this gig. Come watch me have traumatic uni assessment flashbacks as I attempt to create listenable sounds with my mouth hole. Will be doing new tunes, and old tunes, and old tunes that sound like new tunes.
