Santa Dharma

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Happy Halloween from Thing & Wednesday

Hey Tokyo folks! I'm running a promotion in November for Tokyo residents: try yoga or barre for free (if you've never been to my studio)! DM me to book your lesson. If you are a regular...

@santadharma.bsky.social costumes slowly coming together, but won't reveal. Come down and check it out! Great lineup of musicians & our friend Dreya with incredible music selection. Halloween fun w/o the crowds & chaos. Super cheap if you dress up 😊 If you've never been to MoguMogu...

And technically we're kinda playing 10/19 at California Bliss Dept. although @lanasolyluna.bsky.social will do a solo set (Sushi Neko Roll), and Dhamo will play with Mike from Snickerdoodle (as Swimming Pools).

A clip from our last gig at the Den!

Hey Tokyo! Our next gig is a Halloween party at MoguMogu on 10/26. Hope you all can come...wear a costume!

I think I finally decided what I'll try to be for Halloween. Hoping I can find the pieces I need in time! Will post pics if I can pull it off or come to the @santadharma.bsky.social gig on 10/26 at MoguMogu (Asagaya). It's going to be a couple's one. (Again, IF we can pull it off. 😅)

Tomorrow = 9/28 😂

Next gig tomorrow in Koenji at the Den. We're on from 19:00. Hope you can join us!

Hey Tokyo! We're playing in Shinjuku tomorrow if you're looking for live (experimental) music.

Tokyo folks, please come hang with us! Informally it's a party for Tomo's birthday too!

Reminder! Excited about this gig not only because of the lineup but also because it'll be a celebration for Tomo's birthday. Hope you can make it!

Hey all! We're organizing a gig for Tomo's birthday at MoguMogu in Asagaya. If you're free, come hang with us. Great bands playing with us.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Hard to see on here, but @lanasolyluna.bsky.social is playing the Omnichord. 😊

Hey Tokyo! Our next gig is this Sunday at 7th floor in Shibuya. Hope you can come down...it's a fun lineup and a great spot.

We only rate dogs. This is Chewbacca having a spa day. He's trying to relax. Please give him some privacy. 13/10

2 shows coming up this weekend if you're up for some psych pop fun! 2 very different venues & vibes, so come to both if you're really up for some psych pop fun 😅😂

psst today at 7th floor! It's an early gig, so come around noon and hang with us!

Hey Tokyo! Our May gigs:

5/3 @ 7th floor, Shibuya
5/30 @ Oriental Force, Koenji
5/31 @ Gamuso, Asagaya

See you soon! 💕

Realized I didn't post this here if anyone wants to come! Happy to organize this show for Waterflower, who is touring from Latvia. Come see music made w/ mushrooms & plants. I'll also do a solo set w/ a Portachord (predecessor to the Omnichord).

People ask us to play and then give us 10 minutes to set up, which is ok if we can come early & put a table off to the side, but if not, it's just impossible & we end up doing a really simplified version of our setup. It's nice to hold space for folks like us to take our time & enjoy the process.

This Saturday we're resurrecting an event we took a loooong break from: Bedroom Psychedelia. We aren't against making music w/ computers, but we personally make dawless electronic music & wanted to make an event for folks Tokyo folks who need time to set up midi 🍝 Looking for acts for vol. 4 too!

Once upon a time, we dreamed of doing a US gig tour together, but these days that's almost last on our list.

Where should we go instead?

omg we just recently binged this and loved it!!! Such a timely series, fun creation of a retro future feeling, and really great voice acting.

We're playing as The Dhamo Suzukis! A bit more of an ambient, improvisational side to our music. Come hang w/ us & celebrate 1 year of California Bliss Dept.

Tomorrow night! Excited to play with all of these lovely folks. Come down to Asagaya for some experimental psychedelic pop! 💕

ps this clip is from Ruby Room 2 weeks ago and taken by a member of one of the bands who will play with us on 4/5 (The Portal) They're awesome because basically the only rule of Bedroom Psychedelia is no computers in the setup & they're reworking their setup just for this event. Don't miss it.
