Day 6: Paste Magazine
There is this totally cool guy I know that has a totally cool band. I have written about these guys locally twice. But they are just far too cool to be ignored on a larger scale. I sent a pitch today to Paste Magazine for an interview piece with local group, Felix Sarco.
Along with it I sent clips of the last two pieces I wrote on them. My query letter was pointless, as I do think the clip-- which include the lead singer's way with words, and his philiosophies-- would alone sell the idea. The stuff he said to me is exactly the off-the-cuff stuff magazines like Paste are into.
But, it's not about me being published totally. I would love to have these guys be known about beyond the confines of NEPA and Philly and NYC and the other places they play within a few hour drive of here. I am tired of the same old crap that is out there sometimes-- people need to really be rocked by something different.
And that my friends is why I am crossing my fingers the Paste Magazine will hit me back.

bands from NEPA are notoriously terrible, as is the beer.
