Please welcome a new artist into the Neurot family: Janaka Stucky!
Janaka Stucky is a poet, performer, and author of two poetry collections published by Third Man Books & Records. Janaka’s poems are at once incantatory, mystic, and epigrammatic. His esoteric & occult influences, combined with a mesmeric approach to performance, create an almost ecstatic presence on stage. Of his live shows, VICE writes, “Janaka Stucky performs poetry readings like he's part fire-and-brimstone preacher, part doom-metal frontman … For him, lighting incense, dropping acid, and creating some of the most ecstatic lines of verse you’ve ever read is just another day at the office.”
We’ll be releasing a live album of Janaka performing in Seattle with cellist, and long-time Neurot friend, Lori Goldston. To celebrate the release of this record, and a 2023 tour sponsored by Atlas Obscura, we’re partnering with Janaka on a Kickstarter campaign. The record will happen no matter what, but this Kickstarter is an opportunity for us to celebrate its release in a very special way by creating all sorts of exclusive items like art prints, colored vinyl, digital downloads, ritual candles, and special VIP access to a new round of live performances around the country that Janaka is planning with Atlas Obscura in 2023!
