My new book about 80s new wave and post-punk music drops on December 1, 2025, and writing it meant having to attend a retro concert or two (or three, or more) “for research.”

Tough job, but someone has to do it.

Here’s a collection of not-that-great photos from my 2025 concert splurge.

It’s only October, right?
