Career[edit]

Gish started her career by uploading music on Bandcamp. Her first release was "don't call on me" in 2015, followed by "dummy parade" in 2016.[1] She also released a Christmas EP, "Merry Crisis".[3]

Following the moderate internet success of No Dogs Allowed, Gish briefly toured with singer-songwriter Mitski in 2018.[3] In March 2019, she performed at South by Southwest and was featured on NPR Music's Austin 100.[8] She was listed as one of Stereogum's Best New Artists of 2018.[9] In 2019, she released a cover of "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne as part of a split single in Cavetown's Animal Kingdom series.[10]

In 2023, Gish released two new songs, "Filming School" and "MFSOTSOTR", through the Sub Pop Singles Club.[11] The same year, she toured with The Beths in North America.[12][13] She also went on to tour with Jeff Rosenstock later in the fall of 2023.[14]
