100 Boyfriends w/ Brontez Purnell

On episode 16 of Date with the Night, I’m joined by writer,
musician, and dancer, Brontez Purnell. We discuss all things
Valentine’s Day, Gravy Train!!!, his self-titled punk band
Brontez Purnell (formerly The Younger Lovers), as well as his
latest book release 100 Boyfriends. Brontez talks about growing
up in Alabama, finding connection through online message boards,
and making the move to California and finding community within
the indie, punk, and electroclash music scenes. 


Brontez and I talk extensively about his writing style and
particular interest in flash fiction and poetry. We discuss some
of the themes and inspiration behind 100 Boyfriends, as well as
the ideas that will be explored in his upcoming works. We also
touch on his dance company, as well as his first solo dance piece
inspired by Sylvia Plath, which he is currently performing in
Manhattan.

recent book 100 Boyfriends. You can also listen to Gravy Train!!!
