Kicking it with Pixiepunk, Part 1!

About this episode

The episode features an interview with Pixiepunk members Lynzi and TJ discussing their music and origins.

I’ve been a fan of the band Pixiepunk for a while now, so getting to talk with members Lynzi and TJ is something I’ve been looking forward to. We had such a great time and talke for so long that we decided to make this a two-parter! So in this episode, it’s all about the music, as we dive into their (at the time) newest release “Roses,” and the interesting origin behind it. We talk about their song “I Don’t Fit In,” their response to the request to write a bio…instead, they wrote a song! We also go into the band’s origin, keeping active during the pandemic, and how they create that unique Pixiepunk song. Be sure to check out https://pixiepunk.world for more details, buy some merch, and follow their socials! Wrapping up this episode is the single “Roses.”
