    I booked Mischief Brew to play my friends' basement one time, and it was lovely.
    I've been in a few folk-punk bands, so I can't talk too much shit I guess. My experience in folk punk scenes has been overwhelmingly negative though - terrible drinking culture (like, rivaling any "drunk punx" I've ever met), fairweather politics, overwhelmingly white and male dominated, etc. I know this is true of many punk scenes, but I think many folk punk scenes are unusually bad.

    What was I even thinking in 2010?

    I'm the same (and I'm getting quite far along in the process, unfortunately).

    I saw Blackbird Raum a few weeks ago. Loved it. The atmosphere at folk punk shows is so great, high sense of comradeship.
