Hi, I'm Brianna Carmel, a 25-year-old DIY musician. Here are the three musical projects I'm in:
@bloomingheads, a sadcore indie pop duo made up of myself and @dotknifehead. We've been active since 2018 and our debut single, "Axis Access," is now out on all streaming platforms.
I also sing and play tambourine in a chippunk (read as: chiptune folk punk) three-piece called @little-tiny-knife, also with @dotknifehead, but it's really their band, they play most of the instruments, write all the lyrics, and they've been at it since 2013; I only joined last year. The third piece is Jim, he plays stand-up bass and we share a birthday.
At the moment, we have one single on streaming services (with an EP coming soon):
I also have a solo project, I somewhat jokingly refer to myself as a DIY singer-songwriter with a folk punk soul. I've been writing songs on my own since I was about 16-years-old.
My most recent solo release is a demo that I recorded all by myself:
I'm also also a DIY show promoter in the Sacramento-area, under the moniker 916 Growth Gigs -- which is pretty much irrelevant to 99% of the internet, however, as of this year, 916GG sort of became a music collective as well. I had the idea to put together a bandcamp-exclusive compilation album of Paramore covers by queer DIY bands, and a few months later, it was real. You can listen to it here, and if you decide to buy the digital album, all the proceeds will be donated to the ACLU.
If you read this whole thing, you have my sincerest thanks.
