Inherent Bummer LIVE

“If I had always slept properly, I'd never have written a line.”—Céline 

Have you been getting out? Making memories? Mixing it up? Sweating on people? Getting in late? Maybe waking up with your shoes still on? Experiencing? I feel like not enough of us are answering yes to this.

A lot is said about contemporary life — in fact, I think maybe a little too much is said about it, on too many platforms, in cheap fragments that fester into bad energy — but the main thing they say about this generation is that it’s stunted by phones and technology and it isn’t getting out and having experiences. And there are reasons… “work from home,” Covid, social media, technological advancements, Zoom, no attention span, blah blah blah…but instead of complaining or falling into the void of doom scroll, we’ve decided to just bring the experience to you.

This allows me the opportunity to introduce Inherent Bummer LIVE — a new series of in-person music and surf video events coming to a town near you and kicking off tonight in San Clemente, California.

We’ll be doing a premiere screening of Inherent Bummer TV — a channel surfing propaganda experience you have to see live, followed by a screening of two of the best surf vids to come out this month — Ryan Callinan’s “Beneath a Pear Tree” and “Allen Hazardous Waste Collection Center” starring Kolohe Andino and Taj Lindblad. All that will be followed by ripping punk/rock live performances by MEMO PST and RØBBER. What happens after that is up to you. See you tonight.—Travis Ferré
