I played my first show yesterday at an open mic night with my friend zoe on guitar! It went wonderfully, i got the crowd dancing even!
I played 4 original folkpunk songs I wrote, afterward my friends said they thought it was a local news legend cover initially and they can hear the AJJ and folkpunk in my singing style!
A homeless guy who was definitely on drugs played the drums for us using his hand to hit them for a bit which just adds to the folkpunk music honestly. He was eventually removed from stage by another guy while I was playing because he kept running around and yelling on the stage. You can see him lying on the ground behind the drums in the second pic.
Me and zoe are going to be making a folkpunk project and work on finding more people, practicing, and try book some places eventually. Zoes currently in a band thats performing stuff in our local area all the time so im very optimistic that we have an in for booking since she knows how!
Im going to upload the set on youtube so look forward to that!
Badnerves is a newer PopPunk/ Hyperpop band from London. The fourpiece band makes highly energetic music.
I can speake from experienece, taht their concerts do not lack any of that energy live ! At first I was afraid, that the singer wouldn`t sound anywhere near the same as on the album, but, to my suprise, he sounded exactly the same !
Yesterday I attended the Travis Scott tour accompanied by and exciting and upcoming artist, Teezo Touchdown. Teezo's internet presence since the beginning as been a polarizing sense of creativity, as he started showing up more in the media as the kid with over 15 pounds of construction nails in his hair (daily!). His music is raw, sung straight from the heart. He has a passion that is clear as day in his songs, a passion that is gonna make him big one day. While his music may not be for everyone, the message he speaks through his music connects him straight to his fans.
My favorite song he performed was SWEET, a declaration of love and devotion in a laid back and calming tone. His punk persona still shares a light of sensitivity, as he creatively performs into a mic covered in a bouquet of flowers. Seen on instagram, his mock press conferences still conveys what we are to expect from Teezo, as he shares that every single show he devotes to getting better.
Through both Tyler's CMIYGL tour and now Scott's "CIRCUS MAXIMUS" tour, Teezo is gaining the support of the big leads, and his features are notable attribute to his discography. The performance of MODERN JAM with Travis Scott is one that is loud, that gets you on your feet, and one that resides within me and holds so much meaning.
While Travis continues to prove that his visual performances are unmatched, and its own category of show, I feel that Teezo was the crucial highlight of the show in my perspective. The incredible passion shown behind his chants and crown interaction is one that is inspiring to me. A persona like Teezo's is a rare one to see in today's world, and I hope to be at the front row of his own show one day.
Finally! The long awaited chapter 8 of Zippy & Pals! Sorry that it took so long to get finished, busy with school and such. I hope that the next one won't be so much trouble!
Hey everyone! I opened up an Etsy shop! I'll be selling assets for streaming and videos! It will definitely help me extend my variety on my art and I'm really happy to get started on this.

I had to add "Twitch" to the end of the Etsy name because MangoManArt was taken on there.
