we’ve contributed to a lot of projects on Genius, but our primary focus is the indie music scene in Melbourne, Australia. it’s a huge special interest for us. if there is a band or artist that’s missing on Genius, we plan to add their lyrics and information as quickly as possible.

please note that sometimes we do disappear for extended periods of time, but we always come back to contribute again!

we write poetry, fiction, lyrics, and some miscellaneous prose! here’s a live, updating list of where some of our writing has been published!

we also make music! here’s our bandcamp and soundcloud

we also take photographs like the one in our header (shot 25 march 2017, bloomington, indiana), though many of them have been lost to time.
