private browsing

8 listings in 6 named rooms, over the last three years · one ahead · Dallas/Fort Worth

Texan born, LA raised, and Edinburgh pilled, private browsing is the all encompassing musical project of screenwriter and actor D. Brooks Hudgins. A veteran of the twenty-teens UK club scene, and currently a staple of the New York downtown and Myrtle-Wyckoff hideouts, private browsing balances expansive live band performances in character and costume with foggy and throbbing DJ sets.

Directly at odds with today's premature ejac corpo-algorithmic approach and non-confrontational sound, the new full length record "H.A.G.S.!!!" dips its fingers into the pudding with a childish delight, and thus relishes in the mess. “H.A.G.S.!!!” is where the eerie immaturity of the teenage imagination climbs on the shoulders of a jaded drum bus. Even at their most straightforward, the club tracks are haunted by both fun and dissonance, rejecting the Berghain techno typeface and disrupting the puritanical standards of UK chin-strokers and bicoastal label Bruces alike.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

Once each: Apollo Studio, The Sultan Room, Love's Club, The Red Pavilion and H0L0.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
