She Wants Revenge close the inaugural Cloak & Dagger Festival on 10.21.17

So I just found out that She Wants Revenge broke up last year. I had no idea they were amongst the casualties of 2020 - not death per se (nor do I mean to belittle actual tragedy), but one amongst the many comforts that have either closed, concluded, or fallen by the wayside. Total bummer.It's …

HEALTH issues :: “ANTI-LIFE” + “ISN’T EVERYONE” + a flashback performance at Cloak & Dagger 2017

I thought of breaking this into individual posts. But it's just easier to lump them all together.
