behind the story
There’s a good reason the models from our folk-revival, vintage-denim fashion shoot look like musicians straight out of the ‘70s. Male model Adrian Hunjet is a well-known Nanaimo musician, who plays guitar and organ, and sings vocals for the band Zilch alongside fellow musicians Ethan Olynyk on drums and Lawson Wallace on bass and guitar. The band plays a lively blend of rock and jazz, emphasizing improv, and are most often compared to Jimi Hendrix or the Doors. The location for our photo shoot was Adrian’s private recording studio; some of the clothing he wore came from his own vintage collection and, yes, the VW van is his main ride. The team at Boulevard loves celebrating local artists and this story presented an opportunity to add authenticity to our shoot, while highlighting homegrown talent. The Zilch debut single, “Walkin’ Through the Night” is set for release this spring. Find them at zilchband.com.
