Is there an opener(s) for this tour? Venue/ticketmaster isn't clear about it. Thanks.

Just curious, thanks!

Do y’all remember which essay it was where he quoted the scene where Willy yells, “I am not a dime a dozen!” I’m trying really hard to remember I just can’t recall which one.

Sad I can't make it anymore, $46 for both or $23 for one. The show is at 9pm.

Happy new year, everyone! I've got two tickets to Sungazer at Outset on 1/24 that I unfortunately can't use anymore. Asking face value ($36 each) or $60 for both.

Ticket transfer is through Ticketmaster and payment can be made through Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal. DM me if you wanna get down and funky.

I've been looking everywhere online for one with no luck, would anyone know where to purchase a copy?

I remember seeing an Adam Neely video years ago that was titled something like "How To Practice (efficiently)" or something like that. Charles Cornell appears in the video, in person, to discuss that it's not just about practice, but also about how you practice, while holding/presenting a book that taught him how to do this. I can't find the original video because I don't know the title. Does anyone know which video this was?

And no, it was not "How to Practice Efficiently" by Charles Cornell. That's a satire

I have no one else to share this with, none of my friends know them. =((

It was amazing though. Adam Neely is such a showman, and the whole vibe of the group was so high energy and fun.

go see Sungazer

I saw in one of Q&As (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NckkwiYrjTw) that he "learned" ableton in like two weeks.

Has he ever given recommendations on how to start up and get learning?

Sungazer is one of my favorite bands, unfortunately I had to flight out earlier this week so I won't be able to use them. Anyone interested?

Got invited to a party last minute so I won’t be able to go. I’m giving these away for free so the first person to either comment or dm me will receive them!

Update tickets have been claimed!

Plus a new reaction i

Hey everyone, I just watched Adam Neely's most recent video on ... singing a phrase?, and while I usually enjoy his content, I have a few concerns about this one:

Why does everyone sing it like THAT?

First, I get that Adam is a bass player with a music theory background, but he’s talking about singing and songwriting here, and it feels like he's stepping outside of his area of expertise. He doesn’t seem to have formal knowledge about vocal training, lyric composition, or related topics like phonetics and linguistics, and that shows in the video.

For example, he keeps using the term "natural prosody" when the correct term is "consonant prosody." Prosody isn't just "natural" by default—it's something that's constructed, and that’s a pretty important distinction. Also, he doesn’t touch on how things like open and closed vowels impact how lyricists place notes in a song, which is a big part of the songwriting process.

Then there’s his take on pronunciation, which is more of a phonology topic, but it felt kind of shallow and incomplete. He also makes some questionable assumptions about what audiences expect from songs, completely ignoring the role of idioms in lyrics.

Oh, and the phrase "right off the bat"? It just felt off to me, especially because this is clearly a scripted, long-form video that he probably took days to write and research. The lack of references or expert input from people who are actually work on songwriting and lyrics was a letdown. It seemed like he was just capitalizing on the viral TikTok video that inspired the discussion in the first place, using it as a way to flex some basic music theory knowledge even though it wasn’t so relevant to this particular topic.

Honestly, it feels like this is part of a trend I’ve been noticing with his content lately, where he’s oversimplifying or stepping into areas he doesn’t have enough depth in. I just wanted to share my thoughts because I think it’s important to have well-rounded perspectives on music and art overall but only by having proper, well-informed sources, especially when talking about something as wide as singing and songwriting trends and theories.

Unfortunately can no longer attend since I will be traveling for work, no one I know likes this music so hoping someone here will be interested.
I've priced the tickets so you save a little bit of money compared to the official tickets through The Independent.

I won’t be able to attend. I would rather they go to someone who can. I can personally meet up with you and transfer the eventbrite tickets.

I paid $32 each after fees. I’ll let them go for $32 as well.

Concert is December 17th at Last Exit Live.

Just saw the ads and was thrilled that sungazer is coming to where I live finally. But I don’t have any friends around would go with me and it’s kinda hard to find someone listening to fusion or stuffs. So if there’s anyone planning on going maybe we can meet up there and I don’t have to look like a lonely music nerd who has no friends. 🥺
