The Juicecast Ep. 19 - DarbyTrash from FORMING and Lexicon Devils
Matthew and Brileigh sit down with DarbyTrash from FORMING. FORMING is a metaverse concert series hosted by Lexicon Devils. Each monthly event features a curated lineup of web3 musicians with pre-recorded performances (including juicy skits from Darby and other contributors) at a virtual party in the Juicebox Voxels parcel. In this episode, Darby tells us about how FORMING got started, his roots as a punk musician, and the parallels between punk culture and decentralized communities.
