New York NY, March 31 – Faderhead has kick started their new album The World of Faderhead which was released March 30th, 2012 with a tour that started on March 20th and ended April 3rd. The band is somewhat new to the music scene only having about six years under their belt but has already made their name with five albums not including their new one. Faderhead has had club hits such as “TZDV” ( from album FH3) and Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois (from album FH2), which are still playing in clubs today.
While playing at Cybertron in New York City on March 31st put on by Vampire Freaks, Faderhead played their club hits along with some new songs. They also covered Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back”. The crowd was pumped up as Faderhead jumped on stage to their electro stompy music. The band is very connected getting low on stage to become face to face with fans.
As for the whole night it was a blast and was full of people. Once again Jet Berelson owner of Vampire Freaks has put on an amazing event and has many more to come!

June 24th to August 14th – Vans Warp Tour ’11 starts this Friday in Dallas and with a slew of dates around the country (USA) it should be stopping close to wherever you are. This year features the usual crap load of bands with the main stage being reserved for; The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandriam, 3OH!3, Gym Class Heroes, Less Than Jake, Against Me!, Attack Attack!, Paramore, Pepper, A Day To Remember, August Burn Red, Jack’s Mannequin, and D.R.U.G.S. If you are in a band and want to play main stage of Warped Tour, I suggest changing your name to start with the letter A.
Now it’s time for Grandpa here to tell you a story from back in the day. The year was 1995, I was 15 or 16, math is hard at my old age, and there was this sweet punk rock festival coming to my home town of Buffalo. The bands like Quicksand, L7, Wizo and others I can’t remember, rocked hard and wound all the kids up to hyperactive levels. Then it rained and the field where the stages were turned to mud. Shortly after there was no grass to be seen a band called Sublime went on. They sucked and as a way of showing their opinion, a bunch of hooligans threw mud at the band and started booing, Sublime quickly turned away and went off stage and the crowd went nuts!
Las Vegas NV – May 22 to 23 2011 – Hair stylist Erin Moser of Chez Ann Salon and contributor to many Auxiliary Magazine fashion and beauty editorials attends Oribe Backstage 2011 and tells us all about it.
Luxury. Extravagance. Perfection. This is the epitome of Oribe.
Erin’s hair model, middle
Even if you have never heard the name Oribe, you have seen his work countless times in every form of media. Oribe (pronounced OR-bay) is one of the most world-renowned celebrity hairstylists whose combination of session, celebrity, and salon work spans over three decades. He is constantly defining styles and breaking down creative barriers. He has worked with the likes of photographers Richard Avedon and Annie Leibovitz, fashion designers such as Gianni Versace and Karl Lagerfeld, makeup artists François Nars and Kevyn Aucoin, and too many stars to name including helping launch Jennifer Lopez’s career, and nowadays he has styled for Miss Momma Monster herself, Lady Gaga.
When you work with the best, you have to play with the best. And when I say, “play with the best”, I mean it. Oribe has teamed up with people that have made his wildest dreams come true. After thirty years of innovative styling, he decided to launch his signature line of truly original styling products. As they state, “This line is for taste-driven individuals who know that personal style – perfectly expressed through excellence.” These innovative products have helped me do things I never imagined possible, even once I was wearing some pure 24 Kt gold in my hair.

Today is the last date of Combichrist’s Demons on Tour; this stretch also featuring Julien-K, Aesthetic Perfection, and Dismantled. Last weekend the whole Auxiliary crew had the chance to see the tour in Buffalo, NY.
Ryan of Julien-K
I can honestly say that every band put on a very solid performance. There was no waiting through painful opening bands this night. Dismantled started the night, followed by Aesthetic Perfection, then Julien-K, and ending the night Combichrist. And there was no waiting through “guy standing behind laptop pressing buttons”. Each act was a full band, live drums, and energetic performances.
