a couple of overdue tributes to Yaroslav and Cats on Mars: picture 1 (gallery below): this is Yaroslav. he invited me to Ukraine, organized the shows, met me at the train station in Kyiv in the early morning of the 2.7 attack, vacated his apartment for me, entrusted me with his cat, Juno, lent me […]
shadow-eric on a lone swing, just down the coast from beautiful Dirhami, Estonia, the day after the concert at Dirhami Kalakohvik. camera wedged in a tree. notebook still clutched, for reasons unknown. in Berlin, Germany now, missing too much about the past weeks, including many dear people and cats. more to share about Ukraine (your […]
rehearsing in Dirhami, Estonia, after travelling all day yesterday from Ukraine. overwhelmed with emotion. can’t write eloquently, just typing frantically as i tremble with too many unprocessed feelings, but needed to say something now. will share more soon about the past days, but before tonight’s show here wanted to say thank you to Odesa, and […]
last night’s ultra-cozy stage at Squat 17B, just after soundcheck. missing you, Kyiv. arrived in Odesa early this morning via an overnight train, on 11.3 minutes of “sleep”; was far too charged up from the concert, and also from having my heart stolen by 46 cats (i think this is the current total? my point […]

just beginning the midnight train ride (two hours delayed) from Kyiv-Passazhyrskiy railway station (pictured) to Kharkiv. lying in my little bunk snuggled up with a borrowed guitar (thank you Yaroslav), and looking forward to singing to you tomorrow (Saturday evening), Kharkiv, @druk.kharkiv . ❤️ (Бар “Симпосій”, Korolenka 3) details and ticket link for the Estonian concert (Dirhami) […]
