Behind the Scenes with the Lone Bellow

We haven't mastered posing for portraits quite yet.

This is my favorite part of getting ready for a show. Red lipstick makes me feel prepared for anything.

Here I am steaming my husband's shirt, because he agreed to struggle through the crowd to get my makeup bag that I left in the van.

The Troubadour hosted the last two shows of our first year as a touring band. We were stoked to play them with our buddies Ivan and Alyosha.

The first night ends with load-out and Brian's look of childish wonder. (We're standing outside because we couldn't find the troubaDOOR.) 

Pre-show rituals include tuning and zoning out. 

Here we are getting ready for the first of our two sold-out nights at the Troubadour. Also featured is the back of our tour manager's head.

Before every show, we bring it in to focus on the night and encourage each other.

I think we had just broken some guitar strings when this shot was taken, which usually means the show is going in the right direction.

We jumped down from the stage and finished the last song of the set with the crowd.

Joseph Llanes trampled some fans and stood on the speakers to get this shot.

We make a quick exit before the encore. 

Each night after a show we come out and meet anyone who has stayed to talk.
