COMING IN JANUARY 2013: "JESUS FREAKS"

As I've been mentioning, a debut single is on the way, due out January 2013 on Dead 2 Me Records, and getting everything in order has been an amazing experience to say the least. That's a photo of me (above) looking on as audio engineer Andy Shoemaker sits at the helm mixing "Jesus Freaks" at Chicago's Rax Trax Recording studio. Not seen, but well deserving of credit is Jamie Wineman, better known as Jimmy Con of the band Ghosthouse, who's assistance in the production of the track has been indispensible since the song's inception.

You can catch the debut performance of "Jesus Freaks" Thursday, December 20th at Chicago Metro. Click here for tickets.

Have a look at this video teaser produced by Saverio Truglia and myself:

NYE with LA*JESUS at Chicago's legendary Pump Room

On New Year's Eve, come and class it up with me in Chicago's historic Pump Room. Founded way back in 1938, The Pump Room is a restaurant located in the Public Hotel, in it's previous life known as The Ambassador East. I'll be laying down a smooth and sexy soundtrack from 9pm, toasting the New Year, and taking you all the way through the night to 2am.

Several ticket packages are available, and you can learn more by visiting Public's website.

TWO BIG GIGS, ONE HUGE NIGHT

You can catch me twice in one night, Thursday December 20th, starting with an appearance at the legendary Chicago venue Metro. Salonathon Presents: YOU'RE GONNA DIE, A Holiday Fantasia promises to be an unforgettable event, with several acts that made big waves in The Chi this year, including the scandalous rapper Big Dipper and the incomparable Honeybuns.

It is here that you can catch the PREMIER PERFORMANCE of my forthcoming single JESUS FREAKS, complete with The Fabulous Ladies of Fitness starring as, well... my Freaks!!

General admission tickets are still available here.

To help get you pumped up, have a look at THIS:



After the show at Metro, I'm packin' up the pulpit and heading down to Berlin to close out the first night of the Twelve Days of Porn and Chicken. This, obviously, promises to be a night of uninhibited, um, joy. The PNC guys -- Orville Klein, Phives, and Dom Brown -- will all be there, along with JoJo Baby and Avi-Sic.

RSVP for no cover.

Hope to see you out 12/20 at Metro or Berlin, or both!

LA*Jesus Photog Saverio Truglia Interviewed

The vast majority of the photos found on this website were taken by a man who, besides being incredibly talented, also happens to be a dear friend, which is something I've always felt very fortunate to be able to say.

Here is a remarkable interview with photographer Saverio Truglia, who shares a great deal of insight into how his beautiful images, such as the award winning shot seen here, are created.

From APhotoEditor.com:

Suzanne:  When I go to your site, it is hard to figure out what is self assigned and what is assignment.  What do you use for inspiration when you are testing for your portfolio?

Saverio: You’re right. I showcase mostly either self-assigned work or redirections of client work. I don’t differentiate the two on my site. All my best images comes from the same passion so if client work is great, then I share it in the same place. My inspiration for shooting for myself is driven by my personal curiosity in the moment. There’s a lot in life that inspires me to check it out more closely. Making pictures for myself usually starts with seeing something in the physical world I want to investigate and repurpose. Like an out of place situation, the way light strikes a surface, or meeting somebody extraordinary. Making personal work is important to honing my instincts. Testing can also be a launching pad to experiment and try new approaches at pushing my comfort zone. I’ll always gravitate to shooting people and I find the camera to still be an incredible access point into people’s lives. When they know my curiosity is authentic and pure, I get invited into homes, businesses and bedrooms. It’s kind of uncanny how they participate and it always leaves me with a story to tell about the experience, not just the pictures. I usually write about it on my blog. When clients reference my personal work as inspiration for their own projects, it often leads to successful campaigns.

It's New Mixtape Monday!™

Check out my Saturday afternoon performance on The Minimal Beat (88.7 WLUW/Chicago) from a few weeks back, October 6th 2012. I leaned heavily on some great reworkings of classic hits, balanced out with some of 2012's best nu-disco cuts. An excellent time; hope to be back hanging out with Billy and Lauren again soon. Thanks again!
