Mal Blum
Dubbed “punk’s greatest hidden treasure” (Stereogum), Mal Blum writes cleverly crafted songs that are immediate, self-effacing, andviscerally relatable. Their latest project, Pity Boy (Don Giovanni), is an album that explores boundary setting and self-sabotage, and an exemplification of Mal's ability to interrogate the human condition with lyrical ingenuity.
A longtime fixture in New York, they’ve garnered a cult following as a frequent musical guest on The Chris Gethard Show. 2019 saw them on the road regularly with their band - headlining sold out shows across the US, and joining tours supporting Lucy Dacus and famed podcast, Welcome to Night Vale.
