Brontez Purnell, writer and musician
Description
Brontez Purnell is a writer, musician, critic, model, zinemaker, dancer, choreographer, and quite literally, more.
An Oakland punk by way of Alabama, Brontez has just published his fifth book, 10 Bridges I've Burnt. I'm an enormous admirer of Brontez's writing, and am thrilled to chat about his queer tracks.
In this conversation, we discuss music by Carol Hahn, Emily's Sassy Lime, and his own musical collaboration with a special friend from his past.
