It’s happening. I’m fully fronting a band and I have absolute vocal freedom….this is an unmatched circumstance in my life. I have been dreaming of this for 10 years. I write all the songs, I call all the shots and I just….sing. It’s on like my first time…..I’m getting flush just thinking about it. If you love Motown, if you love surf rock, if you love the fucking Beatles and fucking Led Zepplin and fucking 50’s 60’s pop please, allow me to do you a favour. Come see my band Only You. Find us online, listen to the single, and wait for our EP coming soon. I will not let you down, I absolutely promise. Gigging out this month so poke us on Facebook already.

🎩Attention Friends and Fanz: I am mounting the Bootleg stage Wednesday the 15 9PM sharp with an all new line up of LA casanovas. I’d be more than honored to have your attendance. I need help spreading the word. $8 gets you a face full of Motown and a heart full of loneliness. If I can drag you to one show this summer let it be this one. Sending out deep respect // +

Yes…..Only You is back. And playing out THIS month with a invigorated line up of hip jerking casanovas guaranteed to charm the whiskers off even the very baddest of kittens.

New romance, new songs, and more heartache than ever, I am dying to wail for you!

We are getting ready to release a fresh EP of this material so I am SO looking forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming shows.

5/15 - Bootleg Bar
5/19 - Central SAPC

I had the fortune of attending Coachella this Sunday, the last day of the ever expanding musical festival in Indio, ca. Watching bands like Thee Oh Sees and Father John Misty show me there is hope. Watching bands like Dinosaur Jr and Dead Can Dance remind me that good things can last. Doing my best to find the occasion to rise for. Holding on to the demonstrations of my respected peers. Getting lost in the sea of false starts, entitled single white men and my own tendency to go with my heart.

////// all I have is my own honesty

“I took you in my heart at once and at once you were family.
I sank in the river like everyone else.
Accept me for who I am.
True light baring love, love me true. Because I do.
All at once.” - Rachel Fannan

“Concept: A single photograph of an artist expressing their entire “vibe” in one direct defining look. Sometimes its those iconic shots that help separate Thom Yorke, Bjork, Patty Smith, Bob Dylan etc from everyone else in your mind. But just as few artists move you to learn their words, even fewer photographers are finding room to stand up and stand out. In a world of instant art, I find myself yearning for authenticity. Individuality. Strength. Realness. Heart. And recently I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with two photographers that rock the concept. Through their work they seem to marry you to the subject. In the case of A. Dola Baroni, a local bad ass babe who spends a good chunk of her time snapping musicians, we as an audience to her work are exposed to her personal relationship with dance, her dedication to artistic expression and sharp old fashioned honesty. There’s an undeniable chemistry that pulls photographers towards the impossible. Relaying the spirit of a subject, inside one moment of their ever blooming continuous flow. I’m not a scholar, I’m a poet. I’d be the first girl in line to drop my camera on the floor but in all my experiences posing for various musical components I’ve very rarely been impressed. This woman should be moving up fast, and although I have a feeling she’d hate a comparison of any sort … I gotta give it to her.  A. Dola Baroni is MY next Brian Duffy. For more photos from Dola, check up on her blog ///// + ladola” - Rachel Fannan
