Please come to this. Semiautomatic Ground Environment is my solo project, by the way, and I’ll be playing a set that night—my first time performing solo in about eight years. As you might have guessed, I also have a song on the compilation.
My other band (Bad Credit No Credit) will also be playing, and there ought to be a ton or two of great people there. First 300 attendees get a free...
