Career

From 2011 to 2016, Gamsky was in the band Feed Me Jack,[7][8] which released four albums before disbanding in 2016, citing musical differences.[9][10] The following year Gamsky released a single, "Cooks", under the stage name Still Woozy,[11][12] stating that he choose the name because of his spaced-out nature.[4] As Still Woozy, Gamsky has released an EP and several singles,[13] the art for which was created by Ami Cooks, and four music videos, the first of which was released in 2017.[14][15] Gamsky prefers to release music as soon as possible and will sometimes release a song on the same day he has finished making it.[4]

A 2020 tour, which would have had 31 performances starting in May and ending in September, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

gollark: Muahahaha. Now I just need to implement "compress", and also any incremental compression whatsoever.
gollark: This was partly ironic. It is horrible and inconsistent. The rules vary and are not obvious. There is an unofficial standard but not everything supports it, most things add extra stuff on, and you need 3000 lines of parser code to support it.
gollark: It's so consistent, and there are obvious simple rules which let you know exactly what it'll look like, plus it can be easily published on the web and viewed at arbitrary screen sizes.
gollark: This is why I do all my documentation as Markdown.
gollark: Somehow designing the CLI is harder than writing the actual archiver code.
