Open Toe Season and the Polish to Go With It

Posted on by Kate Foster

Summer’s here, and open toe shoes are out on the sidewalks again, which means one thing for me: time to frantically buff all of the winter scales off of my feet and choose my first toenail polish of the season. But there are so many sassy shoe trends on the horizon, and picking a cohesive shade can be tough. I dug through the newest shoe and nail trends to bring you your newest look – from the ankle down, that is.

Earthy Gladiators + Subtle Shimmer

This season’s gladiator is dramatic and to the knee, so don’t let your polish compete. Choose a nude with a teensy bit of shimmer so things don’t get dull down there.

(Via Spiga sandal and Butter London Nail Lacquer in Boho Rock)

Black Mules + Deep Shimmery Blue

Blue polish this spring has hints of green that make the shade entirely dimensional. It’ll kick your mules up a notch, but keep the look entirely moody.

(Maison Martin Margiela mules and Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer in Sally)

Color Blocked Low Heel Sandals + Latte

Latte is THE nude right now, and the perfect partner for thick-strapped, low heel sandals in a multitude of tones. No foot ache and less noticeable chipping? Count me in.

(Kenzo sandal and OPI Nail Lacquer in Barefoot in Barcelona)

Dark Strappy Sandals + Classic Red

The strappy sandal is currently a little goth, with snakeskin elements and the style of a bootie. Avoid going too Vampira by sticking with a classic cherry red on your tootsies.

(Gucci bootie and Essie Nail Lacquer in Hip-Anema)

Metallic Pumps + Clean White

Ahh, Calvin Klein would be proud. This look is all about clean minimalism – we’re talking everyday pumps in bold silver with oh-so-easy white toenails.

SXSW 2014: Drenge x Vinyl Mag

Posted on by Samantha Gilder

Drenge, a post-grunge brotherly duo from England, sat down with us during the week of SXSW to talk about things like music, American culture, and their obsession with Game of Thrones (that’s the second one this year— we can’t stop talking about it!). If you’ve ever held conversations with a couple of English lads, you understand where I’m coming from when I say there’s nothing more endearing than an authentic English accent. Check out what the guys had to say to Vinyl Mag below (and try to read it in proper English vernacular if you’re feeling really wild)

Vinyl Mag: When did you guys get into town? Have you played any shows yet?

Eoin Loveless: We got in late last night and played a show this morning at Red 7.

VM: Have you played South by Southwest before, or is this your first year?

EL: No, this is our first time.

VM: So, what are you excited for or hoping to take from this week?

EL: Well, the main reason we’re in town is to go to the Game of Thrones exhibition – really excited about that. All we really want is to find a way to be asked to do a song for the fifth series of Game of Thrones.

VM: Are there any completely American/Texan things you want to try or do while you’re in Austin?

EL: Well, I’m pretty into root beer right now, which seems to be American. We would like to have a proper barbecue, as well, but I’ve actually heard that Kansas is the place for that. Granted, I heard that while in California, and I had one of the worst burritos I’ve ever had there, so I’m not sure how much I can trust that statement. Also, I’ll be watching True Detective tonight, which seems pretty Texan.

VM: How old are you guys? Are you old enough drink or what?

EL: I’m 21, and Rory is 20, so he can’t drink, but he could probably out-drink the masses.

VM: How old were you when you started taking your music seriously?

Rory Loveless: I don’t know if that’s happened yet. Maybe one day.  It would be nice to take it seriously.

VM: Do you feel like being not only a two-piece, but brothers as well, is an advantage or disadvantage?

RL: I don’t think it’s one way or the other, honestly. Maybe when we do start taking it seriously, we’ll get stand-in’s, or something.

VM: How much of a culture shock is it to play in the States versus playing in the UK?

EL: It’s fine. We’ve grown up on a lot of American culture with movies and television and whatnot, so it just feels like instead of it happening in a small box in front of us, it’s happening in real life.

VM: Were you excited to find out the lineup that you will be accompanying for the Reading and Leeds festival? There appear to be a good bit of acts playing that are actually playing SXSW this year as well.

RL: We played the festival last year on a smaller stage, but it was raining while we were playing, so everyone just came into the tent; there were about 4,000 people and two circle pits going, so it was a pretty intense show. People seem to really take to our music there.

VM: How much of an influence do you feel that Tom Watson was in the notoriety of Drenge?

EL: He kind of just introduced our music to a lot of people who didn’t really care, like political writers of national newspapers and whatnot. It does come up in every interview, so we do have that to thank him for. I don’t think him mentioning us boosted album sales or made people want to buy tickets to our shows, but in terms of the media, he did kind of put us in the spotlight.

VM: After this week, what’s going on for Drenge?

EL: Just a bunch of recording and writing and touring; nothing too different than normal.

SXSW 2014: Blouse x Vinyl Mag

Posted on by Mary Frances Dale

We caught up with Portland-based Blouse at South by Southwest this year to talk about Debbie Harry, New Zealand, bassist Paul’s alter ego and their changing sound! Enjoy, and then stalk them for tour dates. They’re definitely a band to see live.

Vinyl Mag: How has Austin been? Have you done anything crazy yet for South By?

Charlie Hilton [guitar/vocals]: It’s been good, but we’ve just been here one day. We got here Tuesday night, so we sort of tried to do too much last night and ended up like not really doing anything.

VM: Yeah, that’s the way it always is.

CH: But our show yesterday was fun; we played an important showcase thing. The weather’s beautiful, so we’re happy.

VM: Are you excited to be down here from Portland? It’s pretty cold up there right now isn’t it?

CH: Yeah, so far we’ve been on tour with Dum Dum [Girls] for like a week, and the minute we got to California, it was beautiful and hot and sunny, and it’s been that way pretty much ever since, because we been to New Mexico, Vegas, Arizona…so we’re getting a little spoiled, but we’re eventually going to go back to the cold in the North.

VM: Could you tell me a little bit about the evolution  that you took from kind of synth-y, electronic music…I think I read a quote where you said you had wanted an album with nothing plugged in. I think that’s really cool taking that leap.

Arian Gillali [guitar/keyboard]: You know, Patrick has a good way of explaining it.

Patrick Adams [bass]: Do I?

AG: Yeah, What did you say in the last one?

Paul Roper [drums]: You didn’t want there to be any established rules.

PA: Yeah, yeah. I mean it kind of opened us up to not necessarily being a synth-pop band and doing a second record that didn’t have synth pop in it. I guess it was kind of a big statement, but we just saw it as just continuing to make and craft songs that we enjoy.

CH: It started off kind of practical. One of the other guys in the band was like, ‘synths are annoying, and I don’t wanna tour with a synth.’  And then, as we got more serious, it felt really important to try something new on the second record.

VM: It definitely made a statement. People in the blogosphere were going crazy about it.

CH: I mean, people definitely latched onto that aspect of the record – like, what it’s not – which may or may not be a good thing.  I’m not really sure at this point, but I’m happy with the record, and we all like really love the songs. I definitely don’t have any regrets.

MF: What would you say were some of your inspirations that lead to your second record?

CH: When we first started the band, we were geeking out over Galaxy 500 and The Dream Syndicate…

VM: And Portland has that alt-rock vibe going on there, too.

CH:  I mean, there are so many things in Portland happening right now, it’s hard to keep track.

VM: How do you think [being based in Portland affects your sound?]

CH: Oh, I think it definitely does in a big way. I remember making the last record. I was going out into the forest – there are these beautiful forests in Portland – and I spent a lot of time in the mountains in this cabin. It was winter, and I just was going through a dark period, so some of the songs definitely came from that. But it’s beautiful. I’m from LA, so I feel like the seasons there are really beautiful, even when it’s depressing…like, all the trees are dead, and they almost have this purple-y color to them…[laughs] I don’t know. To me, that’s really fascinating – trees with no leaves – gorgeous…

VM: They’re always giving away so much free stuff here! How do you [work together as a group? What are each of your specific roles?]

CH: I feel like everyone in the band is justa really good musician, and more than not, energetically, we’re really good friends, and so we really enjoy playing together. It doesn’t feel like a business.

VM: It’s key, because a lot of bands out there are strictly business.

PA: Yeah, we never really got that deep into that part. It’s more just like, ‘let’s try to figure out how we can all have fun and make this thing happen.’ And a little bit deeper into that question of how we each [contribute] individually. Arian’s been in a bunch of more synth-y, darker bands, and Paul –

PR: A lot of techno.

PA: A lot of techno. Paul was in a band that he toured with for a long time in New Zealand.

MF: New Zealand? That’s so incredible.

PR: Well, it’s green. It’s down over there somewhere…I wanted to get away! I wanted to move out; I wanted to get off the island, so I moved to America and –

CH: And he almost got kicked out, and we saved him.

PR: They saved me!

CH: That is the one thing that we were able to do…we got him a visa.

VM: What’s the craziest thing that’s happened so far at South By? 

PR: Yesterday, we were watching the Dum Dum Girls, and Debbie Harry came out…

CH: Yeah, that was the craziest thing.

VM: What kind of projects are you working on right now?

CH: I’ve been working on this solo record with the label – our label – that I’ve sort of been talking about with them for a couple of years, so I’m hoping to finish that in June.  And we just want to get home and start working on more Blouse stuff, too.

VM: Do you find [performing without the synth is very different from with it]?

CH: It’s a lot more fun, actually. The set’s really dynamic, and there’s a lot of energy in the new songsin a different way than the first record, so we can get really loud, and  it sounds good. We’re just louder, and I think it’s just more fun. The mood can change a little bit more throughout the set, which is cool…it’s not as dreamy anymore.

VM: Where are you performing again?

CH: At the Hotel Vegas tonight…[and tomorrow at] the Absolut vodka Bed Head thing…it’s kind of in a crazy studio. They’re doing people’s hair, and the updos look incredible.

VM: I have one more question. Who is the craziest member? I feel like you all are really chill right now, but who’s the secret crazy one?

CH: It depends on the day, really.

PR: I have this alter ego that comes out…

CH: Yeah, we don’t need to…it’s a secret, but it’s in him somewhere.

 

SXSW 2014: The Silver Palms x Vinyl Mag

Posted on by Mary Frances Dale

The Silver Palms are a pretty unique band, and I’m not just talking about their sound (which is pretty damn rad – be sure to grab a listen below).  The Camden, Georgia-based band sat down with us at South by Southwest this year to talk about their hatred of Subway, how good-looking they are and what’s up with their all-black uniform (all before our interview got broken up by the cops…yeah, we’re badasses). Just don’t tell them they look like The Beatles.

Vinyl Mag: So, how’s your South By [Southwest] going so far?

Dalton Drury [vocals/guitar]: Alright, I guess. Yesterday was a show with some…bad audience.

VM: What happened?

DD: Well, they seemed like it. The first show was good, but the second show…

VM: I hear that you don’t like Subway. Your Facebook said that.

DD: If you’re an artist, you’re supposed to be cool. Why are you getting branded by Subway?

VM: But you might have something sponsored by Kmart?

DD: Yeah, exactly. That’s a joke. It’s a joke on all those sell outs.

Wade Beahm [bass]: We love Target though.

DD: Yeah, we do love Target. Target’s the stuff.

VM: So, Target can be your sponsor, but you hate Subway.

Adam Drury [guitar]: It’s gross.

VM: So, you like non-branded subs.

Dalton: Non-branded subs.

AD: For bands! For normal people, go at it, you know?

Jordan Scott [drums]: We’re above that.

VM: Can you tell me a little bit more about this all-black look you’ve got going on here?

Wade: We’re The Beatles, man.

DD: At least five times a day we get, ‘Oh look, it’s The Beatles.’

AD: That’s very true, all the time.

DD: We don’t want to look like The Beatles.

WB: The Beatles are a good-looking band, and, obviously, we are too.

VM: I want to hear a little bit more about how you guys started playing together. Can I get a little more of the background?

WB: Jordan broke my hand in football. I thought we were best friends.

JS: Then, our senior year in high school we were like, ‘yo.’ We saw Muse playing a show and we were like, ‘Wouldn’t that be amazing if we could do that?’ Screw going to college; we were going to become a band.

VM: How many shows are you guys playing for South By?

[All]: Four

VM: Tell me a little bit more about your influences for getting into music.

JS: Johnny Cash. We’re southern boys, you know?

VM: What’s your favorite venue you’ve ever played at?

JS: Newcastle. I love you guys so much, because I know you love me.

Wade: Shout out to you guys.

VM: In terms of Austin, are you more of a taco band or more of a barbecue band?

AD: A taco band?

JS: Meat is murder. Be a vegetarian.

VM: Wow! I’m a vegetarian.

DD: I’m not, so don’t high five me.

VM: So, you’re not going to tell us anything about your upcoming shows?

AD: We have a show at the Madison tonight.

VM: Nothing after South By? It’s all secretive.

WB: If you want to know, go on our Facebook.

VM: Tell me about your craziest South By moment.

JS: Last night, I was on a Pedi cab, and this girl was blasting hip-hop music. I was standing around, just whipping my shirt around and partying on. I was dancing, and everyone was chasing us taking pictures, it was great.

DD: We met this cat named Miguel.

VM: Tell me more.

DD: Alright, he has a sex move and a drink named after him.

AD: He’s a stud.

VM: Where did you meet this character?

DD: He’s a bass player, and apparently he’s really good. He was behind the bar making drinks for everyone.

AD: For no reason.

VM: What are you guys excited about for after South By? I know you’re going to some different festivals.

DD: Yeah, but we haven’t announced anything. I don’t know if I’m allowed to.

VM: Super secretive!

Dalton: You shall see if you want to know so much.

AD: Keep your eyes peeled.

The Kooks: ‘Down’ EP

Posted on by Alexis Tiedemann

For a band that shot to the top and stayed there, The Kooks have been rather silent; the British rockers haven’t released an album since 2011. But it was worth the wait. Their new EP titled Down, out April 22 on Astralwerks, is everything I hoped for and more.

The first song, “Down,” is a sexy, funky number. Lead singer Luke Pritchard channels his inner sex machine with James Brown vocals over simple riffs and a snare/hi-hat combo as he sings “I’m gonna hit you up, I’m gonna let you down, just to prove a point that you can’t break a man who’s already down.” The song oozes with sex appeal and is an incredibly likable tune.

“Hooray for Henry” is very rock and roll. The melody sticks with you instantly and is peppered with electric guitar licks and echoing vocals that are as reminiscent of British Invasion as they are of punk rock.

The lights lower and the disco ball comes down for “Hold On.” This track is fun, so much fun, plain and simple. “We are the kids of pleasure, we are the dynasty,” they sing and I honestly just want to put on some bell bottoms and dance.

Acoustic guitar drives the melancholy “Melody Maker” to close out the EP, appealing to all the jilted lovers out there and adding a lyrical nod to fellow avant-garde British rockers, Pink Floyd. It’s a mellow tune and a rather nice way to end the EP.

As always, The Kooks’s love of making music is apparent in the new Down EP. But they switch it up and seem to be embracing their early rock and roll and R&B influences to create an incredible EP that reminds us just how awesome the Kooks are. And they haven’t gone anywhere.

SXSW 2014: Hundred Waters x Vinyl Mag

Posted on by Emma Cramer

We here at Vinyl are not quite sure how to classify Hundred Waters. Are they indie? Are they electronic? Are they alternative? Perhaps their unclassifiable and refreshing sound is why we like them so much. Based out of Gainesville, Florida, all four members completed their self-titled album while attending the University of Florida (I guess we will let that slide this time. Go dawgs). This debut album garnered a significant amount of buzz, as producer and artist Sonny Moore (Skrillex) took notice and signed the up and coming group to his label, OWSLA. We met up with Nicole Miglis, Trayer Tryon, Paul Giese, and Zach Tetreault on the quiet third floor of the Austin Convention Center one sunny afternoon during SXSW to chat about their past year, their bucket list, and their evolving sound.

VM: 2013 was a big year for you guys, touring the US and the UK with acts such as Alt-J and The xx. How was that experience?

Nicole Miglis: It was a super incredible experience, and you learn a lot too, because you are opening for a band. And you are also like, this thing that you made in three months – this record that we made – we have had to stand behind for so long and learn how to adapt it to different situations. But meeting them was super inspiring, and they were really inspiring people to know and be around. It was incredible.

VM: You guys have a really unique sound that doesn’t really fit under a genre title. How would you guys describe your sound?

Trayer Tryon: Smart Dark.

VM: Has your sound evolved since the beginning?

Paul Giese: Yes, quite sufficiently. Our first album was made before we knew that this was going to be our everyday and before we knew we were going to be playing it live especially. This new stuff comes from two years of only thinking about music and only thinking about what it means to be doing this and meeting all of these inspiring people in music, instead of having to divide between school and work and what not.

NM: Yeah, it’s a full time thing now for sure.

PG: We are like 100 percent into it, whereas before the world was dividing us.

VM: How did the band form?

Zach Tetreault: We have all played music in different projects like for forever. Trayer and Paul were in a band in early high school, and I started playing with them at the end of high school.

PG: Awesomely, we were called Awesome.

ZT: Yeah, their band was called Awesome. Then we had a little project called We Are Trumpets, and then in college we met Nicole at university, and I would always go see her do solo shows, because she has an awesome solo project that no body knows about.

NM: Top secret.

ZT: Because she doesn’t let anybody know about it. And then we all joined this group together in college called Levek and toured with that, and then it sort of evolved into this. That’s the short of it, but yeah school and music bound us.

VM: So you guys have already performed here in Austin, TX for South by Southwest. How was that experience?

TT: Yesterday was great.

PG: Yeah, it was fun. We drove a long way and then flew and almost missed the flight. The show was all the people that were around most from where we drove. It was kind of funny, but it was good. It was a good beginning show, because it was really hard and rough, so it made us feel alive.

TT: It was our label showcase, which is OWSLA, which is like a lot of dance music mostly. And we don’t get to do a lot with them, because we aren’t really similar to most of the acts. This is one of the few things we have done with that family, so it was cool to be a part of it.

NG: Tonight, we are playing the Portal Showcase with Angel Olsen and Mark Kozelek, who I was obsessed with in high school, so I am super excited to play a show with him. He was like my first real music crush. I am super honored to be on that bill.

VM: Any particular show later in the week you are really looking forward to performing? Or anyone that you have already seen that really impressed you?

PG: Yeah, we really want to see Mark Kozelek.

NM: We are trying to see Empress Of, but she is playing right now.

TT: We wanted to see Ms. Gaga, but we just missed her. We are standing right where she was.

VM: If you guys could perform at any venue, what would it be?

NM: I don’t know. I don’t really know enough venues to be honest. I feel like the most exciting thing to do would be to play at your own venue, like set up your own thing somewhere. I don’t really have any venues that I idolize or anything like that.

TT: You don’t really know venues until you play them.

VM: Who would you say your main influences are?

TT: John Petrucci, Quincy Adams, Michael J. Fox, Rick Wakeman.

VM: If you guys could perform with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

ZT: Nicole.

TT: Yeah, Nicole.

NM: I don’t know to be honest. The people that I know are the people I enjoy most being around and touring with and watching, because I know about their life. It means more to me when I see them perform.

PG: Let’s pick one. Let’s pick a dead fella. But how about watch instead of play. I think John Coltrane would be great, because it would be kind of sacrilegious to stop any time spent with him talking.

Fashion as Art

Posted on by Kate Foster

I think it’ll be a long time, if ever, that I forget the day Alexander McQueen died. It was the winter of 2010, and I had only recently had a massive revelation: fashion is art. McQueen was the first designer to prove this to me, with his textural, chaotic, avant-garde creations, and I was excited to see the works he would create in the future. Though his suicide was tragic and cut that excitement short momentarily, it eventually forced me to look further, for other designers that were doing something a bit more creative than ready-to-wear.

Admittedly, my inspiration for this article occurred while I was scouring Pinterest. After typing “avant-garde fashion” into the search bar, I noticed two things. First, that seeing these wearable pieces of art all at once, in collage form, was almost too much for me. My fashion brain and art brain collided with enthusiasm, and my palms began to sweat while my breathing became shallower. Second, an atypical amount of users posting these pictures did so to make fun of the “outfits”, if you could call them that. “Who would ever wear something like this?” the posters would write. Well, I’m responding in defense of avant-garde designers.

Take one look at the fashion shows of some of my favorites, Alexander McQueen, Iris van Herpen, and Hussein Chalayan, and you’ll notice immediately that most of their pieces look quite… well, uncomfortable. All three have dressed Lady Gaga, an artist known for her fearless fashion at all costs, no matter the inconvenience. Watch as Gaga waddles around in sky-high McQueen heels, pokes herself constantly in a metallic van Herpen look, and attempts to remain somewhat clothed in a Chalayan bubble “dress”.

My point here? These looks aren’t intended to be worn by the everyday person. When you see a Commes des Garcons dress that’s quite reminiscent of bondage, refrain from laughing. Instead, eye it like you would a Pollock: it’s unconventional, revolutionary, and absolutely, undeniably, art.

Avant-garde fashion reminds me a lot of the art history courses I’ve taken. During my first class, many things I saw seemed ridiculous, even laughable, especially during modern sections. Today, several courses in, nothing fazes me. I’ve seen artists that paint with their menstrual blood, for God’s sake. The same is true here. The more of these daring fashion shows you watch, the less you’ll laugh. More and more, you’ll appreciate seeing what the human body can carry and the ways in which these designers can almost defy gravity. The aforementioned Iris van Herpen created looks in 2011 that appear as if the models are just a second from being soaked by water. Blink a few times, and you’ll see that van Herpen is truly a sculptor, molding plastic into water believably and flawlessly. At Commes des Garcons one season, several models walked out looking as if they were being groped. Instead, filled gloves were attached to their ensembles to create a stunning illusion.

Fashion isn’t just for Paris Hilton types. It’s for the dreamers, the believers, the artists. Avant-garde pieces make you think like a Jeff Koons or an Ai Weiwei work would, but they challenge the human form to walk, breathe, and live in them, if only for a few minutes on the runway. They’re not something you walk away from seeking to buy and wear; instead, you walk away inspired.
