What must a songwriter who likes writing depressing stuff do if they want gigs at parties? The type of music we make with The Pincushions: a selection of my songs set to guitars and disco drums. In 2020, my close friends Andres Arik, Marleen Elisabeth Must and myself met the powerhouse drummer Valentina Vekshina. We really clicked and have now been creating rock-band arrangements for my songs for the last 4 years, performing them where-ever and whenever possible.
