Our community recently lost an amazing friend, activist, counselor, and music fan – Esme Barrera. I had the honor of working with Esme for 4 years at Girls Rock Camp Austin. We rarely encounter people so inspiring – who’s compassion and smile are contagious.
In honor of her inspiration, we will be releasing a new song next week with all proceeds going to support her family. Our friends Ringo Deathstarr have done the same here and several benefit shows and music compilations are in the works. Please donate what you can to her family now below and help spread the word to keep out community safe.

From Waterloo Records: The person who took Esme’s life has not been caught. Police believe it may have been the same perpetrator who attacked two other women that same night on the same street just moments before and after Esme’s attack. Here is a link to that story and a composite sketch and description by the other two women who were attacked. It’s painful to share the accounts of her death, but we feel it is important for everyone to be informed as much as possible to help get this perpetrator off the streets.
