Only silence can restore the sense of place I had before. Only silence can repair my sense of self i lost somewhere.
Now or Never Now
Metric @ The Vogue Theatre, Indianapolis, IN on June 27th, 2024 — This evening at Broad Ripple’s The Vogue Theatre on Thursday night started out fairly chill with woman-led band Venus and the Flytraps. The California-based garage punk band started with a…
