Thank you Dallas, and huge thanks to Panda Bear, SOPHIE, Ejecta, Doss, Blues Control, and the Granada for another special night, and to D Magazine for summing up the evening beautifully. Until next year, here's a great set of photos from the Granada's own Bill Ellison.
Our heroine EJECTA stars in the lovely, Emir Eralp-directed visuals for gorgeous Dominae highlight "Silver", which happens to be the first song Leanne Macomber & Joel Ford ever worked on together.
