Last week, we caught up with Elizabeth Harper, the stunning frontwoman of one or our favorite synth-pop bands around right now, Class Actress. Read on for a little Q&A about her love of Paris, her penchant for always seeking out locally drown fruit while on tour, and hosting dinner parties as an escape from travelling and recording.
What are you working on right now?
Â
Right now I am working on being in the moment and writing new songs for the next Class Actress record. I shot a video for the track "Keep You" and that's coming out in September. Â Look for a boxer and some high fashion love.Â
Â
What was the funnest trip you took over the past six months or so?
Â
Paris, always Paris. I had four days off the during the last European tour and I spent them in Paris. Â I didn't leave my hotel much but it was still fun.Â
Â
What was your favorite concert to play?
Â
The other night we played House of Blues in Boston with Sleigh Bells and so I guess every new show is my favorite. Touring with Sleigh Bells has been an absolute joy.
Â
Have you been to any cool non-Class Actress events as of late that were engaging? If so, what was it, and why was it special?
Â
I went to a friends birthday party. It was intimate and on a hot sweaty roof... it was special and engaging because it was full of friends I love and don't get to see very often. So I guess special is in the eye of beholder. As per events, Chris and Ethan DJ'd on the roof of the Wythe hotel and the view up there is very engaging. When i was home for a week in between tours I saw half the cast of Girls hanging out in my neighborhood... it was very meta reality TV reality, if that even makes sense.
Â
What's something you do when you're not working on music?
Â
I like to have dinner parties at my apartment. I like to host. That is probably my favorite hobby right now. Â That and thinking. Dinner parties are special. People talk and open up... it's a nice contrast to tour, where you are used to moving all the time and cant talk to someone for more than a few minutes at a time.
Â
What's something you always carry with you?
Â
Your headphones of course. Â
Â
And what's your favorite food to eat while on the road?
Â
Fresh local fruit. Â anything from a farm stand wheres the people who are selling it actually picked it.Â
Â
Finally, what are you looking forward to for the rest of the summer?
Â
Touring and starting the new record. Music, Â it's all about music and love and pressing on into the dark night with love in your heart and passion in your soul.

One of our favorite magazines around (and the definitive rag for female drummers!), Tom Tom, picked up our headphones for coverage in their latest issues. Check out the pages in question here and grab a copy of it at your nearest newsstand before they're are gone for good! We'd like to send a very warm thank you to the fine folks who made this happen―it means a lot!
Additionally, we placed the below ad in the pages of Bullett​. Pretty cool to be in something with the beautiful Blake Lively and next to an illustration of the hilarious Sarah Silverman!

Before Liars decided to send off their mastered mix and album artwork for WIXIW, the band sat, pondered, and took a series of steps to give shape to their sixth full-length. After learning what worked on previous records and where they wanted to refine, lead-singer Angus Andrew and guitarist Aaron Hemphil took to the hills north of their native Los Angeles while drummer, Julian Gross worked on the
percussion back in the city. Only after months of collaboration, note taking, and visits back and forth to L.A. did WIXIW start to take form. It’s Liars’ unique process of experimentation and work with different artistic mediums that marks this album as a continued chapter in the band’s tenure. Eskuché got an exclusive look into their studio space after outfitting them with our latest styles for use on tour.

Earlier this week, we took a little bit of time to catch up with our good friend―who just so happens to be one of the best DJ/producers around―Andrew Hooge, a.k.a. Lovefingers. The man recently embarked on a new non-musical endeavor (he and his wife are making clothes together!), which prompted a move from the NYC to L.A., but that doesn't mean he's not keeping active as ever in the world of dance parties, vinyl records, and house boogies. Indeed, he's still poring himself into ESP Institute, a label he started a few years back, and even working on a full-length Stallions album, which features a live band. Read on for our little catch-up session with the guy.
Â
What have you been working on recently?
Â
On my label ESP Institute, I've been dropping fantastic new releases recently for Soft Rocks. And for myself, I just released a new remix by Stallions (Lee Douglas and myself) for the Backwoods (DJ Kent from Tokyo). Summer rave tune! Also, I just finished a remix for Phil Manzanera to be released shortly.
Â
What prompted your move from NYC to L.A.? What have you been up to on the other coast?
Â
All business. I love NYC and want to be back there, but my lovely wife and I run a few clothing brands and set up shop in L.A. for a while to get the whole machine well oiled and running strong. Its growing. I also started buying records for the hands-down-best new record store in L.A. called Mount Analog. Its in Highland Park, close to my house, and it opens official on June 14.
Â
What was the funnest gig you played in the past year or two?
Â
So hard to say without offending a great friend somewhere... but my most fun is always had in Melbourne (at Bamboo Musik!), NYC, Tokyo, Moscow, Turkey, London, and Paris. I hope that narrows it down.
Â
What're some things you're looking forward to in 2012, in terms of releases, parties, etc.?
Â
Working on a full band album for Stallions... but its going slow as Doug and I are 3,000 miles apart right now. In terms of parties, we'll keep busting out the Blackdisco jams! I'll be in Berlin, Paris, and Turkey at the beginning of July, and Stallions are doing P.S.1 Warm-Up on Aug 25.
Â
Tell me about your label, ESP Institute. When did you start it and why? What do you have forthcoming?
Â
Releases by Soft Rocks, Michael Ozone, Chee Shimizu, Pharoahs, Tornado Wallace, Secret Circuit, Lee Douglas, a new volume (II) of the Concentration compilation (this time compiled by Tako), and a little series of previously unreleased remixes (hand stamped w/ etched artwork on one side).Â
Â
Have you heard anything that really caught your ear this year?
Â
Thom Bullock's remix for Dominik Von Senger on Golf Channel has been melting me.
Â
What was something you learned in 2012 so far? A new production trick... a new instrument... a new word...
Â
Time management and anger management, these are both important if you deal with daily traffic in L.A.
Â
What's something outside of music you've been partaking in as of late?
Â
Hanging out at the beach on the weekends with my wife and kid. When I am not working, everything must turn off.
