“
I’ve always been into the art world. I had always drawn until I found photography, since then I don’t draw. I mean, that which once filled me and made me happy was gone the moment I picked up a camera. I can say that my whole life revolves around photography.”

Capturing Moments
“Photography is capturing moments and saving them. It’s a way to express feelings. If two people were to look at a photograph they would both see and feel something different. It’s also nice to have a visual to look back on rather than just memories. I’m very nostalgic about things so I’m constantly always going through old photographs and sometimes I think if I didn’t have photos of things, especially when I was a child, I probably wouldn’t remember some things. So to sum it up, it means pretty much everything.”
Bad Wolf Magazine | 55
Anna Hatzakis Q: What got you into photography?
wonder if everyone would still think my photos were so beautiful if I was 37.
A: I grew up constantly drawing and
painting so finding photography was sort of inevitable. It kind of found me!
Q: You’re awfully young! 15, right? How long have you been taking photos?
A: I’ll be 16 in February! I bought
my first camera when I was in the 5th grade. I didn’t really take it seriously though until I was about 14. I decided I wanted to get better and I kept working at it every day.
Q: If you had to describe your photo-
graphs, and photography style in three words, what words would they be?
A: Oh gosh, this is so hard for me to
answer. My photographic style is just basically me. It’s the part of me that I don’t bring to parties. The sad side. I don’t think I could describe my work in three words!
Q: So after checking out your various
Q: Do you feel pressured at all, even in the slightest bit for being such a young photographer?
websites, I’m slightly wrapped up in confusion. What all do you do (aside from photography?) I saw a story book layout on one site of yours, and was wondering if you put that together?
A: Of course I do! Sometimes I worry
A: I made a lot of the html for my

personal website, but for my various blogs I usually work from modified

pre-made Tumblr and Blogger themes. Other than photography, I like to draw, write, paint, sew, bake--you name it! Art is the only thing I’m good at that I feel like I can really apply myself to.
Q: You definitely do not act 15, what matured you at such a young age?
A: I think that when you grow up wanting to
learn and you look for art in everything, it’s just natural for your emotions to mature faster than your peers. I’ve talked to a lot of other artistic people my age and they all sort of have a lot of precociousness in them. I think it’s a good thing. There are also teenagers who grow up in Hollywood who seem mature for their age, but it’s a different type of mature. It’s kind of a bad mature. They lose their innocence.
Q: Reading your webpages, you mentioned how
your mother hasn’t transitioned on to a digital camera yet haha. So do you only shoot with film?
A: That’s true! She tried once but didn’t know
how to use it. She could barely turn it on. I shoot with both film and digital, but I definitely prefer film. I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses, but film has a very special quality that digital doesn’t. It’s much more personal.
Q: Back on the topic of your photography direct-
ly, what inspires you to take photos? What inspires you when it comes to finding great locations to shoot your photos at?
A: Everything inspires me. Memories, dreams,
nightmares, emotions, silent films, music--I could go on forever! As for locations, really I just shoot within walking distance of my home. I like to go out and explore and see what has changed in my neighborhood. During the summer it’s very hot where I love, but during the winter it’s so pretty. I feel really lucky.
Q: Your photos are so mystical, and dream-like.
It’s absolutely outstanding. Is that your intention, or everything accidental?
A: I think it’s a little of both. I intentionally plan
my shoots for days when I think it will be cloudy or foggy. I like to wake up early in the morning because that’s where you can find the most majestic light. For the most part though, the sort of dreaminess to my photos is accidental. It’s like, as I mentioned before, the emotions I keep to myself. Cameras are amazing and I think they can pick up on things in ways that people can’t. Q: What advice would you give other photographers who are around your age who want to start 60 | Bad Wolf Magazine

pursuing a career in this?
would you chose and why?
A: Just be yourself. Do it for yourself. Don’t
A: Geez, this is another tough question!
get tangled up in trying to please everyone because that is the fastest way to get yourself in a rut.
Q: What are your plans for the future, when
it comes to growing older, and photography?
A: I would really like to take journalistic
portraits for a magazine, or maybe even sign on to a record label as an official band photographer. I just love taking pictures of people who do artistic things themselves. Musicians especially. They create magic.
Probably the Beatles. Or Lillian Gish. Or Marilyn Monroe! They all had so much beauty and such interesting lives. I think they changed the world in some ways. The Beatles changed the world in almost every way. I think it would be neat to have photographed the Lindbergh baby, pre-kidnapping, or maybe Edgar Allen Poe writing The Telltale Heart. Kurt Cobain right before he committed suicide would be something to photograph. And I’ve never seen a picture of Edward Gorey so I think he’d make a fun subject. There’s just too many people to pick from!
Q: Are there any photographers that inspire Q: If you could photograph anyone, who 62 | Bad Wolf Magazine
you, that make you want to better yourself?
A: Lots! Tim Walker, of course. Also Mario
Testino, Arthur Elgort and the late, great Richard Avedon. There are a bunch of people in my age range that inspire me too! Eleanor Hardwick, Mike Bailey Gates, Olivia Bolles-so many others, I can’t name them all in one breath.
Q: Out of your entire stream, what photos are your favorites? Why?
A: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/409643
5375_65d3836104_o.jpg I took this one at Disneyland on Halloween in 2009. People kept getting in front of the frame and I couldn’t really see but I ended up taking a few photos anyways. I was really surprised to see that they actually came out. I think that the people in the foreground actually add to the photograph. It’s a happy accident.
http://farm3.static.flickr. com/2500/4230032934_d85fc82ff5_o.jpg I had the idea for this one for months. I finally got my older sister, Lexi, and her friend to model for me and so we went to the woods after a week of rain. It was much muddier than we expected and I ended up walking around barefoot so my sister could borrow my shoes. This one feels like summer. http://farm5.static.flickr. com/4056/4461969794_d0cf054cbf_o.jpg I took this one through the car window while getting dropped off to babysit. A hot air balloon was landing and I grabbed my camera and took three pictures. One of them mysteriously went missing when I picked up the film. I couldn’t really see the people in the balloon, but I like to think that they looked happy.
http://farm5.static.flickr. com/4068/4346235012_ca5130ce48_o.jpg On the day I took this, I remember listening to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys for the first time and crying during Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder). I had to wade through waist-deep water to catch the self timer on my film camera at the right moment. I think this one is very painterly. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/464133464 5_44f60e58f3_o.jpg I shot this one of model Eartha Hubbell at Lake Poway. She was such a good model to work with and we got along swimmingly. The light leak is accidental, but I think it adds a layer of warmth. Another happy accident.
http://farm5.static.flickr. com/4095/4886894075_b59ccb9952_o.jpg I took this one of Joel wearing a flower wreathe I made him at summer camp. He didn’t know what to do so I ended up with this candid one of him talking to my friends. To me, this picture embodies everything I love about going to summer camp. http://farm5.static.flickr. com/4125/5195398568_ae48341066_o.jpg This is my bicycle on a really foggy Sunday morning. I help out in a children’s Sunday school class (my family lives behind a church) and I stopped to take this really spur-of-themoment. I was late because I stopped to take it, but I think that’s what photography is all about. Taking the time to record the little things that mean something to you. Bad Wolf Magazine | 63

The Adventures of Eunice Avery By Delaney Verger Eunice Avery was not your typical girl. She had striking, dark eyes; enticing eyes, if one had ever seen them. Her hair was a luxurious mane of black that hung midway down her backside. Her lips were a full and pale pink, a perfect complement to her alabaster skin. She had a slim figure that matched her extraordinary appearance. But her looks were not all that set her apart from the typical female. She had a breathy, soft voice and a light tread that made made others take notice. She had grace and a kind of poise that made others eye her with envy. And while most people merely admired her for what showed on the outside, her brains and heart were not to be overlooked. In fact, what most set her apart from her peers was her love of books, any and all kinds. She could lose herself in the works of Shakespeare and Twain, Whitman and Irving; any type of book could capture her attention. A book of poetry, a novel, a short story, and occasionally even an encyclopedia would be able to strike her fancy. There was nothing more she liked to do than to lay down in a comfy chair and escape into another world. She loved to immerse herself in the adventures of different characters, loved to follow the journeys they took, to watch their lives unfold. Most of all, she loved to fantasize about herself as one of the characters in the myriad of books she read. She had always longed to be like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, like Winny as she ventured into the lives of the Tucks, to be the Elizabeth to her Mr. Darcy. Nothing fascinated her more than this. If she could only have one wish, it would to become one of the characters in the stories she read. If only her life was like the adventures she saw on the pages, then she would be happy. One day, as she was sitting quietly in the nook beneath the staircase, contently occupied with her latest literary endeavor, she heard a most peculiar noise. She paused in her reading, sitting up slightly to observe the noise once more. She listened for a few moments, and when nothing was heard, she shrugged and returned to her reading. No more than a few minutes had gone by when the noise intruded upon her reading once more. Curious as to what the noise was and where it was coming from, she emerged from the nook, intent on solving the mysterious dilemma. She hesitated, straining to hear the odd sound again. The noise, she now realized, sounded strangely like a faint knocking sound. Following the origin of it, which seemed to be the unused at-

CHANGE. MUSIC. THE SUN. Q: What is it about photography that keeps you so fascinated? Why did you choose photography?
A: I know this is what nearly every photographer answers when asked this question, but I think it’s incredible how a photo truly captures a moment in time and the emotions that go along with that moment. When I look back on the beginning of my 365, I’m able to clearly remember what I was thinking as I took each 86 | Bad Wolf Magazine
photo. Every individual photo brings to mind things that would have otherwise been forgotten - arguments with my sisters, trips to the grocery store, time spent doing homework... I think that’s what initially drew me to photography. Photographs are something permanent in a world that’s always changing.
Q: Are the majority of your photos planned or, or are they just spontaneous photos?
A: There’s sort of a mix. The
majority of my photos are just snapshots, and I think that’s wonderful, because they document the actual events in my life far better than planned photos. That said, I do enjoy the thought that goes into planning a shoot, and I want to get back into that, as it’s something I haven’t done in ages.
Q: What inspires you, or where do you find inspiration for the photos you take?
A: I am inspired by so many
things, but a few top the list: change, music, the sun, and the people I know. I am also hugely inspired by photos I see online, of course. To be honest, nearly everything I see turns into some form of inspiration.
Q: What camera(s) do you shoot
with? Any certain reasons why you chose that brand over others?
A: Canon all the way: I use a
Rebel XSi for digital, and a Rebel 2000 and an AE-1 for film. My Rebel 2000 was originally my mom’s camera years ago, so I’ve pretty much always known and trusted the brand. Now that I have a few lenses that I really like, I doubt I’ll ever use any other brand, although I have nothing against the other brands out there.
Q: Where do you live? The locations of your photos are abso-
lutely beautiful.
A: I live in Sonoma County,
which is in California’s wine country. The scenery here is unbelievable; there are big rolling hills at the horizon in every direction. My house is on two acres, we live down the street from a dairy farm, and there’s a vineyard across the street - hopefully, I’ll never run out of new locations to shoot.
Q: What is your favorite thing to photograph?
A: People, hands down, are my
favorite subjects. Photos are capable of capturing a split-second emotion crossing someone’s face, and I think it’s fascinating to analyze a person’s expression after taking their photo. That’s why I love taking candids.
Q: How would you describe
you as a photographer, and your
photography?
A: I truly have no idea how to
describe myself as a photographer. I guess I can say that my aim is to accurately capture my life and my attitude, and I hope my photos reflect that.
Q: You’re very young, did you
just recently get into photography? Or has it been something you’ve been into for a while? Bad Wolf Magazine | 87
88 | Bad Wolf Magazine
Bad Wolf Magazine | 89
90 | Bad Wolf Magazine
A: I’ve been into photography since I turned eleven and got a Canon
PowerShot for my birthday. Of course, I thought of myself as a “real photographer” when I took macros of flowers and honeybees... I suppose we all start somewhere. My interest in photography skyrocketed when I took a class in eighth grade. During that year, I bought my first SLR.
Q: Do you edit a lot of your photos, or are they usually straight out of the camera?
A: Next to none of my digital photos are SOOC; I really like editing. If nothing else, I nearly always increase clarity and contrast. I think editing (when done in moderation) is a great tool and can help the viewer really feel the image.
Q: What do you think sets you apart from other young photographers?
A: To me, photography isn’t about setting me apart from others; I
don’t like to think of it as a competition in that sense. I just concentrate on making images that I enjoy, and if others enjoy them as well, then that’s all the better.
I’m on flickr. Q: Do you travel a lot? The photos on your stream, seem all so different, I don’t think any are remotely the same when it comes to location!
A: Many of my photos are taken near where I live or in other parts of my town, but I am very fortunate that I get to travel a lot. In October, I took a three-week trip to Italy, which was the first time I’d been out of the country. Besides huge trips like that, I often go on roadtrips or short vacations with my family. Expanding your horizons is nothing short of life-changing - even if the places you go aren’t very far from home - and I’m grateful that I so often get the chance to do that.
Q: What do you think your greatest strengths and weaknesses are with photography?
A: I think my greatest strength in photography is that I can take a
really emotional portrait; my portraits are some of my favorite photos I’ve taken. My greatest weakness is that I rarely step out of my photographic comfort zone. That’s definitely something I need to do more often.
Q: Are there any photographers that you look up to? That admire you?
Q: Lastly, what is your favorite part about photography?
A: There are a few photographers whose work I really admire: Jessie
A: I pretty much covered this in the first question, but I’ll just add
Roth, Olivia Bee, and Jocelyn Catterson, to name a few. As for whether or not others admire me... I occasionally get comments and messages telling me that I am an inspiration, and that’s one of the most wonderful feelings ever. I find it incredibly humbling, and it reminds me why
that I love how a photographer can manipulate the scene in front of them. If I were to photograph a rally or demonstration, for example, I could make it look like there were ten people present or a thousand. The photographer is in near-total control of what the viewer ultimately sees, and I find that fascinating. Bad Wolf Magazine | 91

r ta s Q: How would you describe
yourself as a photographer, and your photography?
A: I work slow and uncon-
stant. I like shooting portraits and sometimes landscapes.. I love yellow. Love film. Preferably instant. Love portra, preferbly expired. All though it isn’t very apparent, I believe in editing and consider it one of my best strengths. This is probably one of the reasons why I am so slow and why I take so long to publish my work. Sometimes I don’t even bother to post anything because I haven’t edited it.. depends on my mood. Right now, I’m trying to update all this year’s work; I decided not to take anymore pictures until I’m done organazing. I get very sick of my laptop so it might take some time. I’m always hoping for better resources (models, film, scanner and such) so in the future I don’t have to edit as much. Though I’ve been taking photos since I was 17, I consider myself unskilled and
still learning. Just recently I’ve started taking myself a little more seriusly. I’m beginning to contemplate photography as something I might be doing for a long period of my life and even for living. I take too many breaks. I believe in letting it flow through you, not on going after it and catching nothing. Embracing happenings and all that... I mean, I puke on photographers who get all rolled up in making money and sort of rockstar wannabe/make belive bullcrap; abusing photography, contaminating the world with excess of imagery. I embrace photography as an art and as something dearly; something that I’m in love with. Therefore, I’d hate to feel as if it’s something I’m obliged to do. It’s like being hooked on a girl; don’t fuck her too much... you’ll get tired and bored eventually. Part of this reason explains why my process has been so slow and long. For me, it’s all about building a good foundation that prevents your home from collapsing. I hope

"It's like being

“ Bad Wolf Magazine | 105
106 | Bad Wolf Magazine
this explains me more as a person than a photographer.
Q: What goes through your mind, when you’re taking a photograph? The thought process of what you want to capture within that photo?
A: I look for moments and try to visualize them beforehand. I’m always calling out for those moments.
Sometimes I attempt to provoke them or just wait for them to happen. Sometimes they occur and sometimes they don’t. I’m also very perverted, so lots of times I’m thinking all kinds of nasty things. A lot of times I’m high, drunk or very hungover. So, my thought process is very, very slow and unacurate. And, even when im nervous about issues in the shoot; like not having a camera or film, etc. I try to stay positive and deep down I’m always very sure everything will turn out. I guess that’s what makes it flow.
A: How do you come up with the layout designs you chose for your photos? Some of them are layered out so intricately, it’s fascinating! A: Heh, que bien home! I’m glad you like them. I’m very insecure of that at times. I make books and stuff for school, for my finals... So, a lot those layouts come from there. I like keeping it clean and intriguing. Also, constructing a sort of narrative according to whatever story im trying tell. Wishing to have my own little publication one day. Q: Do you look for anything particular in models? Do you have friends who offer help, or do you go out and find models? A: Most of them are friends or people I’ve met on the street and sometimes on the internet. I show them my work, explain what I do and ask if maybe they´d be interested in letting me photograph them. Usually, we end up becoming friends. Lately I’ve been doing a lot of work and colaborations with student designers who are finishing up school. In those cases, I try to make them find and pay actual models... not professional models but at least models with experience and some sort of interesting appeal. Q: You have photos of males, and females. Do you prefer photographing one gender over the other? Any reasons why or why not? A: It depends on what comes up. I prefer them equally; although, I’ve been photographing girls more lately. I gues when it comes to nudes, I’d rather shoot girls. I’m more attracted to the female figure/aesthetics. Also, I’m warmer with female and that provokes better intimacy in the photographer, model connection. Not that I’ve photographed a lot of nudes, but enough to feel confident about that sort of situation. Also, it seems it’s a lot harder for me to get girls to let me photograph and publish them than guys. It’s the only reason why I never post nudes. It ends up being really inconsistent. Q: Where do you find your inspiration for the photos you take? A: Movies, memories/nostalgia, books, people, moments., feelings, other photographers, of course,
Flickr inspires me a lot, the people that I work with, my friends, my cameras, my smoking, my drinking, etc.
Q: What initially got you into photography?
Bad Wolf Magazine | 107
A: I started getting involeved with it
because of my first, serious girlfriend and the environment I was in at that particular moment. I didn’t start really liking it until college, when I learned some art history and other very useful crap; like the stories of Robert Frank, Robert Doisnau, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, D. Arbus, Nan Goldin and other great documental/portrait photographers.
Q: What’s your favorite thing to photograph?
A: My friends. Q: Out of your stream, or out of any
photo you’ve ever taken, what ones are your favorites, and why?
A: www.flickr.com/photos/wishfull-
ness/2038337283/. Not so much the photo but the memory. The memories it represents, probably the best and most truthful times of my life. When I still hadn’t joined the dark side.
Q: What is your favorite part of photog-
raphy, and photographing things/people?
A: Looking and talking, endlessly, about it. People, people, people are facinating! Check out In Treatment on HBO.
Q: Is there any celebrity, or celebrities that you’d like to photograph?
A: Yes, of course! Many. Right off the 108 | Bad Wolf Magazine
top of my head, Natalie Portman, Linda Cardellini, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz... naked.
Q: Any photographers you’d like to do collaborations with?
A: Maybe directors/cinematographers;
like I don’t know... W. Allen Kim Ki Duk, Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu, Martin de Thurath.
Q: What advice would you give to a
young photographer who wants to make it big?
A: Forget about it, bro. Q: Looking through your stream, it’s as
if you purposely try to pull out that feeling, that is being felt in the photograph. Meaning, your photos are very calming, and peaceful. Or they’re fun, and loud, and at a party. Do you intentionally try to pull across these emotions, or is it just luck?
A: Sometimes it’s very intentional.
Sometimes it’s definitely luck. Sometimes I was drunk when I took the photo and I realize its greatness, sober, the next day.
Q: Finally, has photography shaped who you are as a person? Do you plan on making a career out of this?
A: Yes! Just like a fire shapes a candle.
Haha, or just how spicy food makes your ass burn when you shit.

“When I was younger, I would look into the sun, and close my eyes just enough so that I could barely see through my eyelashes. I would see glistening shimmering circles and rainbows through the little holes between each lash. I always wished I could put little cameras behind my eyes to take pictures of the little magical dots. When I grew up I realized, instead of cameras behind my eyes, I could easily place a cam-

era in front of my eyes, and capture the same magic I did when I was younger. I always viewed the world behind a camera as a fantasy world, where anything is possible. Photography has always been my portal to this other world.

Madeline Irene’s Murky Water I’m in a pool of negativity and I can’t seem to lift myself out My feet are slipping, sliding, and tripping over the rotting floor beneath them My fingers reaching for the edge, only to be inches short The murky water grabbing my hair, knotting it, dragging it down I can see the surface, the edge, the top Its mocking, taunting, haunting me All I need is a something to grab onto.

Natalie Moonbeam Q: What got you into photography? A: Since I was a kid, I’ve always been inter-
ested in art and music more than anything else, so I guess I kind of just fell into it. I’m unreasonably shy and always have been and this, I feel, is my way of sharing; I feel uncomfortable expressing myself out loud through words, so I do it visually.
Q: Few questions within one: What cameras
film for so many different reasons- it’s raw and unpredictable and I feel like it captures a moment better.
Q: Do you do all of the editing in your photos? Or are they all straight out of camera?
A: All of my photographs are straight out of camera.
Q: How often do you take photos, or upload
A: I shoot mainly with a canon ae-1, though

self as a photographer, at all. I like preserving moments and memories and feelings in a visual form and that’s it. I don’t feel as if it’s my title, I just feel as if it’s what i do. I don’t write in a diary. This is how I document my life.
Q: Where do you find inspiration to take the photos you do?
A: Just everything, really. Staying up late and
black coffee and songs that are so good that they hurt; trains and dreams and rainstorms and ouija boards and being lonely and nature walks and being fifteen and not knowing what you’re doing or where you’re going but not really caring at all.

Q:What’s your favorite thing about photography, and taking photos? A: I like being the one who gets to decide which moment to capture. Q: Looking through your stream, it seems like you upload photos that are still frames of your life. Do you photograph raw life, or do you plan any shoots out? A: The photographs I take are pretty much all moments straight out of my life. Right now, capturing my friends and adventures and feelings are the most important to me. Q: On your stream, what are your personal favorites and why? A: I’m really interested in photo manipulation without using photoshop or editing my photographs digitally. I like experimenting with different techniques and I’ve gotten a lot of feedback about this photo from
people showing their interpretation or telling me how they’ve been inspired to alter their own prints by hand. Q: What do you feel are your strengths and weaknesses in photography? A: I’m motivated easily; I have an idea in my head ninety-nine percent of the time and am always excited about experimenting. As a weakness, I don’t feel very confident about my photos a lot of the time, and I’m usually really self concious of my work. Q: What advice would you give someone who was just planning on working with film, or photography in general? A: Don’t take pictures for anyone but yourself. If you don’t like what you’re shooting or don’t feel connected to it in some way, other people won’t either.
Q: What’s your favorite thing to photograph? A: People, for sure. I like taking pictures of people my age. I like capturing youth and innocence and recklessness and fun. Q: Without photography, where do you think you’d be in life? A: I’m not sure. Probably the same place I am right now, just a lot less happy. This is how I express myself. These are my thoughts and ideas and dreams. This is important to me. Q: Do you plan on doing this professionally? Or strictly as a hobby? A: At the moment, this is the only thing I can imagine myself doing whether I’m getting paid for it or not.

Grace Potter
Who
& The Nocturnals
knew t h a t combining blues, soul, and good old fashioned rock & roll would sound so good? If you turn on VH1’s Nocturnal State in the mornings, I’m sure you’d see Grace Potter & the Nocturnals music video for their new hit “Paris (Ooh La La.)” With front-woman, Grace Potter shaking her hips, and belting that voice of hers into the microphone in her burlesque dress, and the black and white, old fashioned theme going on in the video, it’s catching eyes,
and turning heads, and quite frankly, being played quite a bit. Grace Potter tells Spinner in an interview, “We are a rock ‘n’ roll band with a multiple personality disorder. We do broad sweeps across massive genres, but the binding sound is always my voice, our dual guitars, that analog sound and the classic rock tether that ties it together.” Grace Potter also defines her bands career and success, “We’re living it. The door started creaking open for us years ago, and we feel so blessed to now be getting through the door.”
Lissie i
magine putting Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Phish, and Grateful Dead together. Scary I’d say, but American folk rock artist, Lissie is just that, and doing a rather good job at it. Inspired by the previously listed artists, Lissie is taking the world by storm, and with just recently releasing her debut album in 2010, Catching a Tiger, Lissie’s starting to become a common name. Currently touring in Europe, Lissie’s been around for roughly, four years. Born and raised in Rock Island, Illinois,
Lissie’s taken a huge step towards her dream, which is working with music. Lissie wrote, or co-wrote every song on Catching a Tiger, and only she can describe her musically perfectly. “At one point, I thought of it as being folky, singer-songwriter, but because now I have a band and play electric, I guess I’d call it rock ‘n’ roll. I’d call it kind of sweet yet edgy, but that sounds dumb. I am playing rock ‘n’ roll but taking all the influences of all the music I’ve ever heard in my entire life, whether I consciously know that I’m doing it. I’d call it rock ‘n’ roll that’s got a good heart but is rough around the edges.” (SXSW Spinner interview.)
Sia At the age of 35, who knew that Australian soul and jazz singer/songwriter, Sia would capture so many hearts with her soothing, and yet powerful voice. With influences such as Sting, and Aretha Franklin, she’s making a name for herself, with them to thank. Most aren’t aware of who Sia is, but if you’ve seen the movie, Eclipse, you have. Her song “My Love” is featured in the movie. Sia has five studio albums, and three live albums. With her most recent studio album being re-
leased in 2010, We Are Born. If her outstanding voice doesn’t capture you, her song writing will. Sia helped write a few tracks off of Christina Aguilera’s newest album, Bionic. Including one of her hits, “You Lost Me.” Another song that most may know by Sia, is her emotional, heart tugging song, “Breathe Me,” which is about being, or feeling alone, and needing someone. Her songs have been featured in movies, and even on TV shows such as CSI, and Six Feet Under.
Eisley
E
veryone remembers the Jackson 5, right? A family joined together by the love of music, and the love of performing for
others? Well, the Dupree family from Tyler, Texas joined the bandwagon, forming Eisley. Formed in 1997, siblings, Chauntelle, Sherri, Stacy and Weston, and their cousin Garron Dupree wanted to create the indie rock band. Eisley has two studio albums, and seven EP’s released, with their most recent EP being the Fire Kite E.P. which was released in the fall of 2009. After a four year wait, Eisley will be releasing their third studio album, The Valley with Equal Vision Records on March 1st, of this year. Eisley announced in early 2009 that the band had left Warner Brothers, and then announced their signing with Equal Vision Records in late
2010. The new record showcases the girls’ talents when it comes to soothing voices, poise, and elegance. On the album is the song “Ambulance,” which is rumored to be written by Stacy, about Sherri’s divorce with New Found Glory’s guitarist, Chad Gilbert. The girls of Eisley have been featured as backing vocals on albums for bands such as: New Found Glory, Bright Eyes, Brighten, The Maine, and Say Anything, what a shock there … seems how Sherri Dupree-Bemis is married to Say Anything’s vocalist, Max Bemis! Eisley is currently touring with Rooney, and will plan on hitting off another tour for the spring/summer.
Until next time ...
