YOU AREN'T MY MOTHER

About Me

(super rad poster by Laura Brothers )

Ben Kupstas (formerly/presently of this sheep those sheep , fin fast fun , yer sweet chimneys ), Nicole Bogatitus (formerly of the cyberian dezzart outfit), and André Paul (aka eager meek ) make up the core of what is you aren't my mother.

Ben and Nicole live in Fort Greene, Brooklyn (by way of Williamsburg, by way of Bushwick, by way of Ithaca, by way of Chicago, by way of a hyphenated town in Pennsylvania, by way of farmland-now-mini-malls in rural Illinois). There amongst the brownstones they yell and dance and love and fight and sing and make other noises. André, now residing in Harlem, rounds out the trio (or more accurately, adds the third point).
