As anyone who’s been thru the relationship ringer enough times knows for any love coupling/thrupling/etc to reach its logical conclusion with “no hard feelings” being the sentiment shared by all parties involved with no lingering homicidal tendencies is actually a pretty good outcome and with this in mind the good people at the House of Feelings record label & life coaching (a.k.a. Haus of Feels) assembled a superlative bill of lonely hearts in the form of five musical acts performing live namely Our Lady Of Sorrows, Le Bang, Julia Pierce (solo project by Tits Dick Ass lead screamer), Shallowhalo, and November Girl with Sunflower Bean’s Julia Cumming on the decks at NYC’s legendary Knitting Factory a.k.a. Baker Falls last Friday on Feb. 9th and lucky for you we were there to bear witness and snap some pics…

…pics taken by The Deli’s longtime graphic designer & art director Kaz Yabe (pro tip: to view any of the individual photos full screen just do a right-click or equivalent and open the chosen pic in a new tab) back in the days when The Deli was a legit print publication (for the young among you there were once these things called “magazines” that were basically long papery blogs) who has recently resurfaced and bully for that so please enjoy this Anti-Valentine’s Party photo spread before even us remaining online scribes and photogs are all replaced by AI and robots in the form of glowing red dots singing “Daisy” as we attempt to deactivate them now that’s what we call romance!
