This is not Charles Mudede (he is getting drunk with some guy called Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen). This is his intern Roxanne Emadi. While Mudede is away, I’m going to post about the fox Dita Vox:

Thee Emergency’s Dita Vox is fucking hot. She was also giddy enough to meet Blush Photo at the Georgetown Music Festival last month and Blush’s Kristen Truax jumped to work her into next month’s portraiture show I See You Through Me – a follow-up to Femme Fatale which showed in February.

The show will feature Truax’s shots of local musicians – including Star Anna and Mark Pickerel – along with work from four other Seattle photographers at the Blush Photo studio in SoDo.

As for new ventures, Thee Emergency has been deep in the depths of the studio this summer working on a country psychedelic blues-ish record.

After a foot injury a few months ago, Thee Emergency’s drummer couldn’t use his right foot. So the band got creative.

“We’ve always written some country songs and they don’t need a full drum kit. It just made sense to do something different now and get away from rock ‘n’ roll,” said Vox.

The album, titled Cracker Slang, should drop by the end of the year. With its release will come country-style shows, a more relaxed live show and possibly Daisy Dukes.

“We started out with a punky feel and we’re moving away from that,” said Vox. “Our show is still really visually exciting and we’re still running around like maniacs but I feel like we’re more calm now. We’ve grown up a lot.”

But at the Capitol Hill Block Party this weekend, Thee Emergency will be very much a rock band. They plan to do what they’ve spent the last four years doing: explode with energy, split holes in their jeans and “rock everybody’s faces off, pretty much.”
