So I got to hang out backstage at the 40 Watt with Portland, OR-based band Blitzen Trapper, because my job is awesome. They are touring the US in support of their recent release, VII, which came out September 30, 2013. Go ahead and watch our interview (below) so you can feel like you were hanging out with us.
Emily is an over-enthusiastic lover of music, books, movies, fashion, and culture in general. Her love of music spans across all genres (what is a genre anymore? she waxes poetic to herself), though she was nursed on true punk and will never understand “redneck country” music – tractors are not and cannot be sexy. Emily currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and considers herself to be a great wit, though she is still waiting on validation from a credible source.
