Check out this zine review from Brazil in which Parasol has an interview!

This is maybe the most flattering and cool thing that has ever happened to one of my bands.

The rough/not very good Google translation from Portuguese to English is something like:

The music junkies will like the “5 Pop Punk”, where 5 indicates Fernando bands that play pop punk. He starts talking about the already very good Parasol, Boston band involved with the queer scene and anxious to talk about their shows on the culture of rape, safe spaces and privileges. The sound is one of the most beautiful things you will hear, because Lily’s voice is really nice. Subsequently he indicates AcidicTree, almost melodic punk band that makes a sound of excited and want to dance and Sad Girls Por Vida. Rola also indicating the Peeple Watchin ‘, which according Nandolfo is “political, is queer, it’s sticky, it’s punk,” ie, come hear the bandcamp dels logo. And the column ends with You Me & Us, pop punk power trio fofolete with those catchy vocals and drums sequinha makes you twirl your shoulders like that silly.

The best interview of the Tariff Trash is with Parasol where els talk more about the band, the projects they are involved and the need / importance of talking to their shows on sexism, racism, homophobia, patriarchy, sexual violence and so on. Who is playing Ladyfests: Parasol this year will be playing at Ladyfest Philly, along with Screaming Females, Potty Mouth, Aye Nako and other bands. If you care about politics, discussion of privileges be sure to read this interview.

Ah! I am dying :)

Check out The Outlet’s Mental Health Community Center Fundraiser campaign! They are based out of Tallahassee and need a space to do even more amazing work. 

From their Indiegogo page:

We want to provide a variety of services including group and peer counseling, arts-based activities, a library of mental health literature for self-empowerment, and referrals to professional counseling. We hope to make mental health care more accessible for all. Ultimately, we would like to financially assist individuals seeking professional counseling who can’t afford it.

Their video uses a Parasol song. We were really excited when they asked if they could use it.

Please help by donating to their campaign or spreading the word about The Outlet and what they are trying to do.

Irma (short film)

Irma Gonzalez is an old ‘luchadora’ (female wrestler) who bears the marks of a life spent battling in the ring, performing daredevil moves. Every day she goes to the gym to rehearse the moves that made her a star. Children watch her curiously. Somewhere in the distance, a song plays: Irma was once a singer, too. In her memory, grainy images of old television clips flicker. Shot in Mexico City, the film is a tender portrait of the multi-talented luchadora and an unusual meditation on athleticism and aging.

Interview with director of Irma, Charles Fairbanks.

This was a great short film. Love it.

I am thinking about writing something about CK for a zine and am thusly sitting around in my pajamas thinking about this show while I ‘should’ be finding and downloading articles for my reading list.
