Travel writing is a tough gig. I’m at RockWater Resort where I’m staying in an oceanfront tenthouse suite, eating five-course meals, getting seaside massages, and doing a little horseback riding hugging. All so I can report back to you, friends. Stay tuned for my reviews. P.S. Just in case you want to escape Vancouver after [...]
And thanks to these photos, I’ve never not been to a !!! (Chk Chk Chk) concert I didn’t like. Vancouver-based photographer Braden Paul captured Sasquatch for The Anthology and guess which band he had a heckuva good time shooting? That’s right: my very favourite New York-based dance punk band. !!! (Chk Chk Chk) puts on the [...]
When Vancouver-based photographer Braden Paul shot Sasquatch for The Anthology, he didn’t just capture the artists. He also captured some of the most artistic (and stylish) festival-goers… You wouldn’t show up to a Gucci event in anything but Gucci, would you? Fringe? Freckles? Adorbs. PBR. Respect. Cat suit + fanny pack = vintage done right [...]
Last weekend, Vancouver photographer Braden Paul trekked to Eastern Washington to cover the 10th annual Sasquatch Festival for The Anthology. And boy, are his up-close-and-personal photos beautiful. After four days and countless bands in the world’s most beautiful venue (have you been to the Gorge?!) these are a few of the highlights… The electrifying (and glittery) Sleigh Bells. The beautiful, [...]
Coachella 2012 is a long way off (sad face) but just in case you’re going to be in Palm Springs before then, I thought I’d share what just might be the best vintage shopping in the desert. Resale Therapy looks like an unassuming shop in the corner of a Palm Springs strip mall, but it’s [...]
It’s a tough job trying to pinpoint the top five performances of Coachella 2011, but somebody’s got to do it. So after braving sun stroke, risking hearing loss and enduring a weekend of porta-potties, I can confidently list the top five performances of Coachella 2011. 5. Phantogram I sacrificed seeing the Strokes and Chromeo to [...]
As soon as Empire of the Sun took the outdoor stage at Coachella yesterday, things got weird. In the most entertaining way. The Australian group’s show seemed to be sent straight from a Mayan-influenced 1980s future. And the crowd loved it. So much so, they really should have played the main stage — you need [...]
Can you blame me? The sun, the music, the insanity — I’m exhausted already and day two hasn’t even begun yet. The highlight of the first day? !!! (Chk Chk Chk) hands down. They put on the best live show. Every. Single. Time. Even at 2:30 in the afternoon under the blazing desert sun, frontman Nic Offer hams [...]
You’re not going? Don’t fret. You can recreate the experience by putting on a hippie dress, sitting in a 100-degree sauna and listening to these seven bands: The Drums Nothing says “California” quite like surfer rock, even if the band happens to be from New York. Kele The Bloc Party lead singer’s solo project will [...]
Lise writes: You have such amazing style and fashion sense!! It is my first time going to Coachella this year. I’m super excited, but also lost as to what to pack. I figured you would definitely be able to help me out a little with this predicament. Eeeeeek! Coachella! The desert, the music — it is going [...]
