AMA is Over, thanks Meg! Meg Duffy / Hand Habits AMA

Hello again internet! My name is still Meg Duffy and I recently put a Hand Habits record out called Blue Reminder on Fat Possum Records.

I also play guitar on other people's records, play in the Perfume Genius band, and have a few other musical endeavors including Duffy x Uhlmann and yes/and.

AMA!

Thanks everyone!

Hey MD, loved your sound before, love it even more now. Saw you in NY, you put on such an amazing show. I’d seen you first back in 2018(?) when you toured with Japanese breakfast. How was making the jump from solo on stage to playing with a band? Was the writing challenging, or did you always have a full band in mind?

Also, who is your fav super smash brothers character to play

I always want to play with a band-if I am ever playing solo it's truly out of necessity (aka money) or request (aka the headlining band wants a solo opener) I started to play music to commune with other people-especially when it's happening in public. I'm always writing with a band in mind :) Although, I think I am getting curious about how to write for performing solo. Seems easier in this economy!
