“Indie Sleaze” is a term invented by Spotify playlist editors and 100% did not exist until this new gaggle of Class of ‘21 post-grads started making bad ripoffs after watching Meet me in the Bathroom.

I’ve said this before and I’ll keep saying it: Robert’s Western World is the apex bar. No other bar even comes close. I once saw Randy Travis in there at 1am on a Wednesday drunkenly dancing with every woman in the place. It’s where dreams are made of.

This is a shakedown. It’s predatory. FYI Wolf Trap is a 501 (3C) that averages $25M per year in revenue and has a CEO drawing a $500k annual salary while fleecing artists and their fans.

Dave was a fixture at all of Sylvan Esso’s shows in California going back to the smallest club gigs. He’d often sit at front of house & smile ear to ear. He loved music, the synths he helped make and cherished the people who used them. May we all carry his light & love 💔
