Les Fleurs du mal

I grew up in rural Oklahoma- to Louisville to New York to Louisville again. I am formerly of the bands Lucky Pineapple, Tyrone, Phantom Family Halo, and Bodyhammer, all from Louisville, and later with Shilpa Ray. I currently write/perform songs under the name Cat Casual. I haven't been that bad but I haven't been that good.

Thanks again to @planetofthet for letting me #dj that weird set the other night. Twas hella fun. When I’m there I like to sit at this particular table, with this lovely tribute to Andrew directly behind. If you aren’t aware, do yourself a favor and research #ultrapulverize - brilliant, innovative, funny, and timeless. I am so lucky that a band I was in, #luckypineapple , were allies and friends with such an amazing project, such fascinatingly talented, driven, and good people.

A shoutout to buddy @brentmathii - a dude that I am always happy to see (quite rarely though these days). A fine songwriter, I came across this Youtube video of his amazingly talented band- and for some reason- me playing with them. A real honor and a lotta fun. (I like playing guitar sometimes.)

#Repost @seidenfadens ・・・ This Thursday will be the start of @catcasual doing four different nights of all #vinyl #dj sets at four different venues, spinning a different style of music each night. @seidenfadens will be the weirdest night of all psyche, experimental, krautrock, space jazz, and other cosmic music regions. Starts at 8p. Free.
