ABV Drink + Doodle 13!

HEY Y’ALL!!

THIS WEDNESDAY (February 22), ABV Gallery is hosting its 13th volume of Drink + Doodle, featuring 12 artists who come together and create one-of-a-kind works (which comes in handy because I need new wall art!). I’ll be there at 8PM SHARP to support my wonderful beau, Benjamin Lande, and all the other amazing artists! There will be a DJ + drinks and I may/may not have to smuggle in a 6-pack of Cherry Coke. DO NOT MISS THIS ATL!

ALSO be sure to get there early so you don’t miss the video premier of Greg Mike’s newest addition to Little 5 Points. If you creep around L5P as much as I do, you’ve seen this!

There are tons more gallery shows + events coming up, so check back and make an effort to support all the artists we have in our own backyard + the people who help curate these things!

PS: ABV I’ll be awaiting patiently for my invite for next month’s Drink + Doodle!!

VD EXTRAVANGANZA WRAP UP!

Hey Darlins! We had a SUPER time at our annual VD EXTRAVANGAZA at Graveyard Tavern last week. It was the third year we’ve gotten the pleasure of being involved in the Valentine’s Day bash at GY and every year it gets bigger and better! Next year Dax is going to dress up as cupid (I’m bedazzling a diaper as we speak in pure party anticipation).

Huge sparkle shout outs to Shear Love Hair Salon, SoBa Vietnamese restaurant and Love is Art for donations towards our booth! Great local business’s and I highly recommend supporting them. PLUZZZZ if your locks need some love, our Darlin stylist Amberrrrlampz will give you 20% off your service at Shear Love when you mention Sorry, Darlin!!

Photos from the night cant be found HERE but here are my personal favs with some of our Sorry, Darlin girlyz!

Baby Darlin Ashley Gunter + Vince with the Love is Art kit! www.loveisartkit.com!

I am obsessed with 1. How big my hair is and 2. Megan Thomas's angry face.

This is Susannah, our new blogger darlin!! We're friends mostly because we wear matching outfits and she's small enough to secretly hide in my hair and sing me Whitney songs all day long. Thats what real friends are for.

Love it! Don’t forget to check out the rest on smilebooth.com! See you soon party ponies!

Show Reviews x More Shows x SHOWS OH MYYY

Who says girls can’t like metal?

Monday’s show at The Drunken Unicorn was SUCH a good time! Local ambient/black metal gods Nigredo opened up and blew me away! How amazing to have such talent in our own backyard! The Body and Braveyoung were equally mind-blowing.  It was like being sucked into a swirly, black glittery hole. Hypnotic and heavy, the swells/ominous feedbacks and drones are just what this girl needed, and even got me head-banging along with the crowd (hey, this is what hairspray is for after all!).

Here are a few other February shows that are gonna be bonkers. I hope to meet you all there! But, if that whole “having to work in the morning” thing gets in the way, check these artists out. Some of them make their music right here in Atlanta!

Thursday, February 9th: Colour Revolt (ahhhmazing) with Right Away Great Captain! (a hometown hero, Andy of Manchester Orchestra) and Of the Vine. Colour Revolt has an amazing live show, packed with so much fury and passion that it’s impossible to want to stand in the back with your face buried in your iPhone. Listen to “Moses of the South”–

Sunday, February 19th: A Pop-Punk Extravaganza at Wonderroot. Atlanta denim punkers Campaign with Daytrader (whose debut EP I listened to over 209887 times easily. You can listen to the whole thing too, preferably loud with your hairbrush as your microphone). Also opening are ATL’s The Disregardables and Some Mistakes, who’ve I’ve never seen but I’m excited to hear ‘em.

OH! I am TOTALLY working on another mixtape for stream/free download! If you missed last month’s, I got ya covered. As usual, it will feature some local favorites and I CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE!

Your Favorite KVLT Princess,

PS: I want to thank my FAVORITE unicorn, The Drunken Unicorn for being so awesome and putting on such fun shows. I also think they have the BEST Shirley Temples in all of ATL! <3<3<3 Find me on the Interwebz and keep track of all the fun shows I go to! I promise I have good taste. <3

New Music: John Talabot – ƒIN

John Talabot’s new album, ƒIN, is one of the best I’ve heard in a while. It will leave a lasting impression in your life. I’ve already listened to the album, in it’s entirety, 3 times today.

Hailing from Barcelona, first as a dj in the dance scene, John Talabot has released ƒIN after a first failed attempt. Second time’s the charm! This new album has the rolling and surging rhythms of Four Tet, the strong steady synth of Depeche Mode, and sometimes I even hear a tinge of Bear in Heaven, Animal Collective and Nicolas Jaar.

John Talabot – Destiny feat. Pional

John Talabot can now be found touring with SBTRKT. Please add ƒIN to your library now and thank me later.

Keep Listening.

Shear Love Boot Camp: ROUND TWO!

Hey Darlins! The lovely and very talented stylists over at Shear Love Hair Salon are hosting another BLOW DRY BOOT CAMP this Thursday, February 9th!

Blow Dry Boot Camp is a super awesome chance to mingle with local hip kids, drink some tasty wine and oh yeah, get a professional lesson on how to make your mane look salon ferosh every day! I went to the Boot Camp last year (check out my previous blog on the event HERE) and like, uhh to be perfectly honestly I didn’t think my hair could actually look any better but girl, I was wrong. My personal stylist Miss AMBER LAMPZ taught me lots of awesome styling tricks and I got to eat fancy cheese during it. It was like the date of my dreams. Sigh. So you’ll probably be seeing me again this Thursday at Shear Love and you should be there too!! Support local glitter yall!

And as always, you get 20% off your service at Shear Love Salon with the beautiful and talented Amber Lampzzz when you mention SORRY, DARLIN!! Because we know looking good makes you feel good girl!
