Original 2022 Sad Snack lineup! 💕

I released In Defense of Ska 5 years ago today. It lead to me doing my In Defense of Ska podcast for 4.5 years. I got glowing press in Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, Washington Post, GQ, Esquire, Stereogum and AV Club. Hell, I even got interviewed by Tim Heidecker on his show Office Hours Live

BEEN PRETTY DEAD OVER HERE. COME SEE US ON TOUR. YA DIG?

THAT is a thing of beauty! 😍 We are incredibly excited to host Alice Bag Band for their first-ever performance in Salem! Get your tickets now - we always sell out in advance: www.migfestsalem.com

Oh shoot, why its Bandcamp Friday again. Time to stock up on Sad Snack CD’s to leave in ska haters’ CD players 😈 sadsnack.bandcamp.com/album/single...

For the first time ever, you can put Sad Snack’s entire singles catalogue in your CD case next to Korn and what used to be Powerman 5000, but has since eroded into Queen’s Greatest Hits as a side effect of sitting in your minivan disc sleeve for too long. 🤷‍♀️

“Hi, yes. We bought the wrong ‘Eat It’ album. Uh huh. Right. We thought it was the Weird Al one too.“

Being Me is out now!!! It's a queer house anthem about being who you really are and the sad, pathetic people that try to bring you down for it. Cover art by Josh PM www.instagram.com/joshpm/ Released on Ünity Club Records links.astralocale.com/ucr

Happy Trans Day of Visbility! Most of our lineup is Nonbinary and we wrote DANG IT, BOBBY! about being AMAB and gender expansive with the toxic panopticon of masculinity breathing down our necks. “Be a real man”? Hell no, discover more about the unending spectrum of gender and smash the patriarchy.

Day ? Of tasting the Saddest Snacks for you, internet. TIC TAC “Naughty or Nice: Lump of Coal” Sour Cherry 🍒

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Sad Snack donated our Grammy to Kars-4-Kids.

I didn’t end up getting my RN and working cardiac cath lab, which had been my idea; a different path opened for me. But I’m still in solidarity with this awesome union I’d belong to in the alternate timeline version of me
