Ok this isn’t really fashion-related, but I just thought I’d let you know to watch out, West Coast. I’m all up in your shit.
I’m in Seattle now, hitching a tourbus ride with Role Mach, Karaocake, and OK Vancouver OK. They played their first show of the tour last night (at a house venue called Dancylvania), ’twas the first one I’d ever seen, and I was so impressed with Role Mach that I insisted they let me join the band. They’re pretty unique and tough to describe (classical, lyrical freakfolk?), but if you like Devendra Banhart, The Boredoms, Nick Drake, Beat Happening, Beirut, or the Fiery Furnaces, you’ll love em. Karaocake and OK Vancouver OK are really amazing as well. Catch us here:
