Vincent Ciarlo
What's been going on in your world and circles lately?
A lot. Prepping for The Tooth's EP release show with our new bass player, prepping art concept ideas and recording my solo project YEW's third release with my partner Mekala, helping at The Sanctuary, and trying to figure out how to be an adult simultaneously.
Upcoming Release Show for The Tooth, January 28th at the Sanctuary

Other projects you see happening around that are cool?
My creative friends around me seem to be really making big moves and it's inspiring to witness. Mekala and The Sanctuary are coming up on a year of being open, Chat Pile is taking over the world, and other friends are on the verge of what seems like a breakthrough in their own personal pursuits that I'm stoked to see those things come to fruition.

Future thing you are looking forward to?
Seeing Lingua Ignota and Chat Pile on the same stage in Colorado this February, putting out YEW's next album 'III', and being able to sit still long enough to process what's happening around me better.
