What is a "Puppet Slam?" Think of it as a curated selection of short form puppet performances of all kinds: From polished short pieces to works-in-progress, this slam offers a chance to see seasoned puppeteers and new voices alike, all performing in the spirit of experimentation! It's also an opportunity… for YOU to perform???? Yes. Yes it is. There will be time at the end reserved for a very limited sign up sheet the night of the show! No puppetry experience necessary- really. Just be prepared to wiggle an object and get up there!

Menne’s songs are filled with clever melodies and honeyed, homespun rock arrangements that showcase their taut songwriting. They manage to collapse a maze of gnarled emotions into clear, direct, and inviting pathways, often using humor as an access point to something more profound. On lead single “Kill Me,” for instance, Menne turns the sarcastic eye-roll of the phrase “kill me now” into a heartfelt plea for love, while the acerbic refrain of the title track reshapes a faintly ominous admission into a mantra that seems to embrace all of life’s whims: “I’m a freak accident / head-on collision just waiting to happen.” Embedded in the act of calling themself a “freak” is the underlying feeling of not belonging, which Menne calls “a big theme in the writing. I felt kind of like an outsider in my own family for a little bit. I’d ask myself, why do I feel so weird in all of these situations? And I think it’s because I’m trans, and I didn’t know it then.” This sense of physical and emotional displacement resounds across the album as Menne seeks to be fully seen.
