STYLE: Garage Band
call it grunge, call it rock revival; just don't call it a passing fad. the look that put portland's youth at the forefront of fashion is now and forever. just mix slouchy with skinny, plaids with prints, tomboy with girly, and chunky, colorful knits wherever you can. if you're doing it right, it should look like you just don't care. but to those in the know, its obvious you really, really do.

Matthew Logan Vasquez
These next few pictures are of Matthew Logan Vasquez. He is the amazing voice that graces over the band we know as Delta Spirit. Just by looking at these pictures, and especially the last one, you can tell how much emotion is felt when he sings and the connection that you pick up while watching him fronting the band during live performances. The pictures do the justice. I wish you only knew.
Delta Spirit: This SoCal quintet delivered their rambunctious, southern-tinged rock music to a few thousand mildly drunk, dehydrated, and slightly sunburned listeners, which would explain why it took a few songs before the crowd really got involved. When the band kicked into their third song, "People C'mon," singer Matthew Vasquez shook everyone awake with his near-scream vocals, shouting, "All you soul-searching people, c'mon!" The crowd rose from their sun-induced sleepiness and began clapping, dancing, and crying out with him. Throughout the rest of the show, Vasquez's vocals were delivered with such conviction and intensity that I wouldn't be surprised if he was spitting up blood for a few hours after leaving the stage. -SPIN
Between the very last pic and what SPIN just described is exactly how it happened for me.
Erin Wasson x RVCA
A classic beauty hailing from Texas, Erin Wasson embodies the modern female ideal. A respected blue chip model, Wasson has enjoyed a career of dreams. Uniquely versatile and notoriously hard working, she's graced the covers of countless magazines and walked international runways for every major designer. In her whirlwind career Erin has had the opportunity to work with the industry's most renown photographers and has starred in numerous ad campaigns. Since 2002 Erin has been the international face of Maybelline, appearing in print advertisements and television commercials for the iconic American cosmetics brand.
Known throughout the industry for her edgy, low-key style and effortless sense of fashion, the ever-evolving Wasson is working on several exciting new projects. Last season she debuted her new jewelry line on the runway: LowLuv by Erin Wasson. An avid jewelry lover and collector, Wasson transforms luxe mixed metal cable chains into wearable works of art. She serves as advisor and muse for designer Alexander Wang and Forbes recently named Erin one of the Most Entrepreneurial Supermodels alongside the industry's most recognizable names.
Now RVCA and Erin are developing a capsule womenswear collection set to debut Spring 2009. The collection – Erin Wasson x RVCA - will embody Wasson’s iconic style and edge. The joining of Erin’s carefree persona and charm with RVCA’s roots within the world of art and action sports will introduce a fresh new outlook on fashion to the international marketplace. As an international model, stylist, and designer, Erin is inspired by the places she visits and people she meets. From the streets of New York City to the beaches of Southern California, Erin believes that style is more than just clothing, it is an expression of soul. That philosophy, paired with her love for street art and culture, makes Wasson an ideal partner for RVCA. The collaboration between these two like-minded lifestyle forces will make Erin Wasson x RVCA a must-have collection.

SPIN / Delta Spirit
DELTA SPIRIT'S - 'Ode to Sunshine' gets four(4) stars in SPIN Magazine.
From SPIN Magazine - -"****"
Whether it's a happy accident or a painstaking work of art, the rousing debut of this San Diego quintet impresses mightily. Despite passing echoes of Spoon and Violent Femmes, Delta Spirit's rough barroom pop is its own creature, with jangly pianos, rattling drums, and scruffy acoustic guitars making a thrilling ruckus. Sounding just a day away from a sore throat, singer Matt Vasquez possesses the energy of a hustling televangelist, issuing irony-free invitations to a better life. When he shouts, "All you soul-searching people, c'mon!" don't hesitate to join the rally.
