GUNK Party & Dua Lipa
6/14 is our baby's launch party + a song someone can't get out of their head...
“Be the One” by Dua Lipa
by Ruby Anderson
Early Tuesday scramble. Scream into Atlantic Barclays. Two delicates cover ears. Watch backpacked electron exchange through double doors. Failed morning meditation at first sight of hazardous tissue crumpled on seat. Instead run through scenario about What if I suggest in slightly different tone, or withhold tone completely? And of course: ever-present possibility of stove demonstrating free will unto flammable objects atop. Ask self, where is your breath? Chest, stomach, Franklin Avenue. Decided no compulsive listen today, but hand does motion towards pocket, in bardo between thought and action. Oh baby come on let me get to know you. Mix of Dua Lipa’s layered voice and 1.5 speed self talk. Just another chance, so that I can show stop jolt stop into Bergen street station, violin announces fate through intercom. Doors edge towards close, retract at shape of hypothetical body. Need for catchy tune like remembering cigarettes, like having empty pack and fuck you lighter tucked inside. Wide eyed man, appearing to have many prospects, sits beside. Thinking maybe I will just put headphones on for coverage from chat. But movement triggers nervous system which extends from brain to green and black iphone application. Narration is, maybe I will just look at some colors. Simultaneously ask, does feeling make thought or does thought make feeling? First asked by someone who is not Wilhelm Wundt, but gives same vague sense of tenth grade. Internal world still watered down Psych 101 and no escape. Find myself searching in bar for answer. I won’t let you down and run. No I won’t let you down and run. Click empty space and there drops history, h. pruz, Sad Workout Pump Up Mix, and then greatest song of history, her head tilted in confident suspicion, jet black hair wet from circumstance unknown. Cause I could be the one. Say relapse begins long before you do next drug. Towardness takes shape in thinking, then it’s acting the pathway of blunt rubber hammer on patellar tendon. Pop.

i’m the lead singer of NY-based garage rock band drawing inspiration from Alien Boy, Pavement, & Mannequin Pussy. We took some time off to work on our debut album coming out this July and are trying to find new bands [female fronted, DIY & queer bands would be so cool] to play shows around the NYC/BK area this summer. We want to connect with bands that are building local bills for July and the rest of the summer because we’re super interested in connecting and building more community! IG: @pseudobliss
!!Affordable music video production!!
Need a cheap, professional-looking music video?
I'm a local director with lots of film connections and hands-on experience. I'm building my music video reel and I'd love to collaborate with local musicians. Let's meet over coffee and talk about the perfect visual for your music. hbiewen@gmail.com
Is your band (or solo act) looking to connect with other bands or performers to put together a bill for an upcoming show? Do you have a sick piece of gear you want to give to a good home? send GUNK a little intro to you & your music (if applicable & no links, sorry) including an email address for a reply and we’ll publish the listings! We also love a good missed connection ;)
