Hanging Out With The Mainliners

Photography by the fuckin’ homie Tristan Martinez.

We first met Colin, Cash, Adrian, and Jackson - LA’s The Mainliners - in Austin, TX at our SXSW Showcase a couple of weeks ago.

Cans of silly string abound, they took to spraying tags on the walls of the venue as well as each other before putting on a show that busted the fuck out of the place, and at midnight on a Tuesday no less. They made an impression for being both talented performers and thoughtful sweethearts. They are they only band up to this point of experience that Naz reckons can pull of wearing matching merch to the venue. It isn’t a bit, it is as real as day. Fucking incredible.

The following week, they started in on a tour of North America supporting Slomosa, the first stop of which was NYC’s own classic, Bowery Ballroom, so we sent our friend and BYT alum Tristan Martinez to hang out, shoot photos, watch the game and eat some pizza.
