Photography by Ava London Amongst herds of Laker fans, USC apologists, and evening rush hour workers in downtown Los Angeles, it was hard to discern if we were heading the right way to the Snow Strippers show. Our suspicions gave way to relief when we saw concertgoers adorned in fuzzy leg warmers, anime girl T-shirts,…
I was high and catatonic on a summer evening, flat on my back in a cramped and overpopulated apartment on the corner of Pico and Sepulveda. The windows of my bedroom were coated with an orange glow, from the farewell shouts of a sun that I had ignored for countless months. It was 2021 and…
Photo Credits Under Each Image Last weekend on October 13th, Still Woozy was joined by Gus Dapperton and PawPaw Rod for the LA stop on his Loveseat tour. A powerhouse trio like no other, the three artists took advantage of their one night at the Greek, each playing their hits, showcasing their individual pizzazz, and managing…
After chatting with Hello Mary earlier this week, I have been eagerly awaiting their takeover of the iconic Troubadour. The three-piece rock band embarked on their first headlining tour just a few days prior, right after a successful stint of shows with American Football and julie.

We met virtually for an interview ahead of their first headlining tour for their…

[Photos by Lily Stockton] Unsure of whether we routed our Uber to the correct location, Lily and I anxiously searched for signs of The Fonda Theatre. The flashing lights, bustling sidewalks, and street carts of Hollywood Boulevard washed by, disorienting our Texan selves. But in the corner of our eyes, we saw a river of…
Illuminated by stars and nestled in the Hollywood Hills lies the Greek Theatre, packed tonight with shades of blue and yellow. The venue is welcoming Faye Webster in performance of her latest record, Underdressed at the Symphony, which was released in March. In anticipation for her set, the stage is lined with racks of blue…
