Lift Your Head Up
No better way for two faerie creature musicians to celebrate than by playing a show! A spectacular show! Thank you so much to Astoria Music Collective!
9/7/19 – This was a show arranged by Hellgate Bridge Alliance. benefiting the Westway Inn Women’s shelter. Here you see some of the the Collective, playing each other’s songs, which were randomly chosen and assigned and then practiced in secret. Round 1- each act performed their original song… Round 2 – Each act surprised someone else with a cover of their song. A great cause. a beautiful day, and an amazing community. Check out Patrick Robert’s covering “We Are The Strange Ones” on our Youtube channel!
Special thanks to Miguel Hernandez, Patrick Merino, Andrew Lasky, Brandon Glasgow, Margaret Horning and our dear brother Ben Olson.

As a woman, it often feels as though your body is universal property. Everyone is free to comment on every part of it at any time, and women in our culture are taught from a young age that their appearance is their value. On top of that is the nonsense standards of what is deemed “good” and the massive contradictions of those nonsense standards, often upheld by the same people.
This song is dedicated to women everywhere who just want to go outside…
