About this Event

Multi-instrumentalist and native New Yorker, Austin Koenigstein, known professionally (and since childhood) as Smushie is cranking out beautiful chaotic dream pop. His volcanic live show illustrates and soundtracks a torrent of his self-produced material. Rich in both humor and urgency, Smushie’s songs leap into confrontation, touching on class divides, loss of innocence, bad-faith clowns, surreal landscapes, and the nuclear potential of a good time. His shows are – above all – fun. In 2023, Smushie released his debut album, Doofus Casanova, quickly following it up with two EPs and a collaborative LP. His sophomore solo full-length record is slated for release in early 2025.
