[DID NOT ATTEND: March 1, 2023] Thick / Jigsaw Youth / Puppy Angst
I’ve been a fan of New York band Thick for a few years (since I head about them on NPR). I’ve been wanting to see them live for a while. I had a chance in 2021, but that show was scheduled against something else I wanted to do.
So, here they were coming to Milkboy. I had been to Milkboy once before–although apparently not the main Milkboy venue I just learned. I know Milkboy is a pretty small place, so I figured this would be a great way to see this riveting band.
And then, I got really sick yesterday. I’m assuming it was the norovirus. And, wow, although I was feeling better by show timem there was no way I felt like doing anything. So I had to miss Thick yet again. I hope they come back again or maybe play NJ?
Jigsaw Youth is a punk band from Staten Island. I listened to a few songs and liked some. I preferred their newer stuff to their older songs. I’m sure they would have kicked ass.
Puppy Angst is from Philly and was created by Alyssa Milman (they/them) who I saw play bass with Kississippi (and thought they were great). Puppy Angst is a moody indie dream pop quartet that Milman formed alongside Eric Naroden (drums), Dan Leinweber (guitar, vocals), and John Heywood (bass). [These would be the only men in the show, too].
Now that I realize who Puppy Angst is, I’m even more bummed that I couldn’t make this show.
