Press Yourself: The Wolf snuggles with the lamb
Femme-y animal lovers, or cheery meat eaters?
The whole point of flyers, posters, and publicity photos is to attract attention to yourself and/or your event. We at Decider go through dozens of these things a week, and it's true that some are better than others. In Press Yourself, we reward clever, gimmicky, and/or offensive promotional tactics by highlighting them.
When Decider emailed Emily Mills, drummer for Little Red Wolf, for a photo to run with our calendar blurb on their appareance at The Frequency's Slappy Hour Variety Show next Friday, she informed us the relatively new local band doesn't have a proper press photo yet: "We've only got live photos and the one shot of us all sitting around holding a baby lamb." Well, we figured the lamb one would do, so here are the four ladies of LRW, looking a bazillion times more Lilith Fair than their feisty mix of folk, power-pop, and chamber-rock actually sounds. We couldn't help writing back: "Thanks. You guys are nurturing the shit out of that little fucker." "Yes," Mills replied, "but our thoughts are filled with visions of mint jelly."
