Gland on SPIN
New Orleans' freshest punk babes GLAND premiered their debut LP "Neurotica" on SPIN at the end of last month. My photo from our shoot in April was featured! The album is available via Community Records, streaming on Spotify, and across all realms of the Internet. Tune in and catch them on their tour in June!












Heaven's Gate
It feels pretty incredible knowing that we've been throwing shows at the house for over a solid year now. I've been thinking back on everyone who has rolled through New Orleans, slept on our couches, played in our living room, and created an incredible experience in this space we have to share.
This photoset is from two of our most recent shows. The Monday before SXSW was one of my proudest nights of bringing bands together - thank you so much to Heaters, Shah Jahan, Kim Logan, and, last but not least, it was a true honor to host Thee MVPs' first show in the States.
The last half of the photoset is of Behavior - a band out of LA, featuring Bedros and Evan, members you may recognize from Wand. This set blew my mind, and I recommend catching them on their last few tour dates if you can.
SXSW follow up!
I did some photo coverage for She Shreds the Wednesday of SXSW at Hotel Vegas and they're up now on the website, featuring Bleached, Tacocat, the Abjects, UME, BOYTOY, La Luz, and more!

Topshop asked me and a couple other industry queens about our SXSW experiences and featured my photos! I got to blab about how much I adore Tacocat and got my Shah Jahan boys featured! ~ head over to insideout.topshop.com! ✨
SXSW 2016
SXSW was just yesterday, wasn't it?
That's what it feels like over here! I've been editing photos over the past week, compiling everything together, and here it is, in its entirety, before you! Six days of nonstop insanity, tacos for every meal, attending shows some 15 hours out of the day, endless Lonestar beers, and somehow finding some time to sleep. I was spoiled with a queen sized bunk bed to return to each night so it wasn't too hard to find my way back "home."
Over the week, I saw 52 different bands, watched (and shot) something like 65 sets - that I could count - and made more friends in a week than I ever think is possible. SXSW remains my favorite week of the year. So, relive it with me, flip through these photos as often as you please! Share them with your friends! Now that I'm going to sleep peacefully for a couple days, I'd love to hear your comments 'n feedback!
personal rundown:
best stumble-upon: DZ Deathrays pit party
favorite set: No Parents inside American Apparel
haven't stopped listening to since: Tacocat, Bleached, Shah Jahan
best stage attire: tie between Guantanamo Baywatch in bathrobes or the Garden as jesters
best taco: 'Migas' from booth at Hotel Vegas (these kept me alive)
cheapest beer: East Austin house parties
music highlight: ~private~ sets from Thelma & the Sleaze and No Parents at Sahara Lounge
non-music highlight: film screening of Goodnight Brooklyn (about Death By Audio)
Zines may or may not be in the making... if you're into that, shoot me a line!
UNTIL NEXT YEAR!
xoxo,

My photo of Chad Ubovich of the Meatbodies is featured in the March issue of Liveguide.NL - in the Netherlands! They were kind enough to mail me a stack of the physical issues that are currently sitting atop my turntable. The photo is also featured on their homepage, and the spread is available online! Only thing is, got a friend who can translate Dutch? :)
