Sad Eyed Beatniks has been played on NTS shows including Carla Dal Forno, with Free Composition Number 6 first played on 15 February 2022.

Hailing from San Francisco, California, Kevin Percy Linn is Sad Eyed Beatniks, a lo-fi twee/pop/folk rock/post-punk/synthpop multi-instrumentalist virtuoso and the should-be poster boy for do-it-yourself, not only playing every instrument himself and recording, mixing, and mastering himself, but releasing all of Sad Eyed Beatniks projects on his own label, Paisley Shirt Records.
