"Join us for an evening of improvised electronic music, intense vocals, psychedelic folk, and storytelling from horror novelists, oracles, and beings who are very temporarily visiting from other dimensions. This will be scary. This will be funny. This will be the kind of Weird and Wonderfull that makes you feel good, makes you quake with excitement at WHAT MAY HAPPEN NEXT!
You didn’t know you needed to come here. Who were you before this? Do you even REMEMBER? Be stimulated, masticated, laid bare. Get your drink on. Get lost. Get entangled. Come to Haymaker to see some of the weirdest storytellers and legends of Northwest literary and electronic music scenes.
