David Bowie’s recent death left me, along with so many others, devastated. From the age of
eleven, Bowie was a major influence on my choices in literature, art, style, travel, and
countless other personal choices and decisions. He was more than a rock star to me; he was
a mentor. I am not alone in this perspective, as an entire generation grew up with Bowie in
the spotlight. When criticized for our choices in style, judged for our nontraditional
appearance, or attacked for our sexuality, we could all point to Bowie and say, “We don’t
follow you. We follow him.” His life and music was the antithesis of the cookie cutter,
prefabricated lifestyle we were told we had to enlist in in order to have a place in society.
Bowie made the impossible possible; he made strange and weird a trend, helped bring
down the Berlin wall, and wrote some of the best music in the world, all while staying true
to himself and his values.
Alice is the realization of a lifelong dream of mine: the fusion of rock and roll and fashion.
More aptly put: Sound + Vision. In an age of mass production, mass consumption, and
repetition, we hope to serve as a reminder that weird, strange, and different are good
qualities, and that with enough persistence it is possible to change the world. You don’t
need to follow them.
“You can follow us. Straight down the fucking rabbit hole.”
This first issue is dedicated to David Bowie, who changed my life for the better.

When you wake up what’s the first thing on your mind?
Where’s the coffee? Ok. Now where’s more coffee? That goes on till I can start thinking properly
and begin the everyday hustle.
When words leave your lips on stage, who are you singing them to?
I feel that just like in a ritual I sing to those who are seeking for answers. People who don’t fit but
are trying to find some sense of their own world. I don’t have these answers,
definitely. But I can pretend I do. And sometimes I pretend so hard that, at the end of the rite, we all
end up discovering some answers together. My art is not about finding the
meaning to life. Otherwise it wouldn’t be rock ’n roll. But it’s about finding a way to get through
this, to fight it, to find others with the same beliefs and make something out it, even if it’s
meaningless.
You travel often... Who is the one person you will never forget?
I don’t think there’s this one person I think about. But I think a lot about my friends. I have very few,
it’s quite a small group. But I think a lot about them. What are they doing on a friday night? Which
party are they going to? Are they having babies? Who are they dating? What important thing am I
missing? I’m always feeling guilty, feeling i’ve missed something, something really important about
them. It’s hard to be on tour. I mean, it’s fun and wild, and I get to know all this places and make
some new friends all around. But sometimes, especially when it ends, I get home so tired I can’t even
call them cause I have no strength to meet anyone. And I look back and it feels just like being a race
horse. I’m glad when they can find a way to keep me in their lifes. I sure do think of them, as a way
of keeping them attached to me somehow.
Who or what do you always fall for?
I always fall for a good sense of humor. I’m a bit drawn to the melancholic aspects of life, so it’s
always good to be surrounded by people who make me laugh and know how to laugh easily.
If you could choose any one thing in life, what would that be?
To always find great partners in life, no matter what the situation. After all, it’s all about that, I
mean, livin’. To connect and share. So, If I could choose one thing, my golden star would be: the luck
to be surrounded by the most talented and the most awesome people.
Do you follow sunlight or moonlight?
Moonlight, for sure. I’m a night person, always have been. I suffer from insomnia since my
childhood. I don’t really know if my head or body gets too excited at night, if it’s a lack of some
natural substance or if it’s just the feeling that I’d be losing so much while sleeping. I can do
anything by night: create, be quiet and alone thinking, or be partying wildly.
What can you never live without?
My cigarettes.
I have one more question...Will you marry me?
As many times as we need to. Cause a rock couple always gets divorced, but they always
get back together again.
Your style looks like sex and perfume. When you dress what are you dreaming of?
I’m dreaming of a lonely dandy seeking for love and throwing a ball while the world burns down. I
dream of James Dean. Of street hustlers in NY during the 70’s. Vamp muses from the 20’s, blackbirds
and Keith Richard’s black eyelashes.
What place in the world can you never have enough of?
There are 3 places, in fact. Buenos Aires, in Argentina, for my friends. I’ve lived there for some time
when I started studying music. Paris, for its classic beauty, for its cafes and for all those sexy skinny
boys and girls in tight pants and boots. And Los Angeles for its light.
Who do you admire and look toward for inspiration when the walls are caving in?
All the ‘wrong’ people in the right places. Real life antiheroes such as Lou Reed and Patti Smith.
Joe Dallesandro and Candy Darling. They make me remember that I should also look into myself
and search for inspiration in all the things that make me feel awkward and strange. Looking at the
things that hurt a little are the best way I know to write music.

As a child, what was your favorite nightmare?
The Nightmare before Christmas…;-)
Horses .. Let’s talk about what they mean to you ..
I grew up with them. They were my friends, my family. I understand
them, they understand me. Just the smell of horses make me feel like
home.
Your dark poetic ways .. Where do they draw from?
Edgar Allan Poe and Tim Burton mostly.
Your tattoos are significant.. Tell me your secrets behind
them..
As you said, its a secret…;-) Some of them are a souvenir from each of my
different collections, some are more personal, they mostly remind me of
moments of my life, it’s my “timeline”.
The real woman behind your collections is Corpse Bride.. What
do you dream of when you think of her?
I dream she was real and I could marry her..haha
Every romantic loves flowers .. You prefer the dead ones
because ?
Dead flowers are like true love, it lasts forever…
If you could paint the sky.. What color would you choose?
Grayscale
You chose to make everything custom and by hand yourself ..
What does this mean to you?
It gives each piece her own soul…
Dark poetry leads you.. Where does it take you ?
To my own imaginary world…becoming less and less imaginary as time
passes…

“When I became addicted to heroin, Platzspitz Park unfortunatly became my
home for years. This “needle park” was an apocalyptic vision, unbelievable in
every way. The smells and sights are beyond description and anything I have
ever experienced before or since. The masses of people shooting up everywhere
and shouting, it was crazy. Rats crawling over your feet and again as wide as
your eyes can see- a sea of people. the images are festered in my mind forever
and sometime still come up in my dreams. I lost a lot of friends to heroin and a
lot of them died in that park. “
-Anonymous Junkie
Due to an alarming heroin epidemic in the late eighties, the Swiss
government opened up Platzspitz Park in Zurich to heroin addicts to
use and buy the drug without police interference. Blaming addiction
on a health issue rather than a social pariah, they thought they were
providing a solution to addiction. The population grew to 20,000
addicts in the 5 years it was operating and the death toll among other
enormous health risks brought down the Needle Park.

PALAYE ROYALE
Photographed & Interviewed by JENNA PUTNAM in New York City

Palaye Royale first appeared on everyone’s radar by being one of the first unsigned bands to
win an MTV award in 2014. Residing in Los Angeles by way of Toronto, the admirably young
rockers have just written and recorded their first full-length album due out this summer.
With looks to kill and a valiant, energetic stage presence, Palaye Royale has taken the U.S. by storm.
Selling out renowned venues like The Viper Room, landing a Samsung
commercial, and touring non-stop since their EP release in 2013 has kept the trio busy, hungry, and
in demand. We caught up with the budding rockstars during their stay in
Chelsea and talked about touring, inspiration, and the upcoming release of their much
anticipated debut album, ‘Boom Boom Room’.
ALICE: Who are some of your biggest influences music wise and stylistically?
Palaye Royale: Small faces, T Rex, Bowie, Rolling Stones, The Velvet Underground,
The Doors, 13th Floor Elevators, The Kinks, The Stooges, Pink Floyd, Black Crows.
Sebastian Danzig: We range in style…for me it’s the 1920’s, for Remington it’s more
grunge/90’s…
Remington Leith: I’m more vampire grunge…
SD: …and then Emerson is 60s/70s/Victorian Age.
ALICE: Nice. It’s Bowie’s birthday today...
Emerson Barrett: Happy Birthday Bowie.
SD: He looks great!
EB: He doesn’t fuckin’ age!
ALICE: So you guys have a U.S. tour coming up?
SD: This year we have 3 or 4 U.S. tours. All bigger sized clubs and small theaters.
ALICE: What are some of your favorite places to visit or venues to play?
EB: I really like Toronto.
SD: Toronto is great.
EB: I love New York. It’s like a labyrinth of architecture.
SD: You actually feel like you’re coming to play somewhere. But surprisingly there were
some cities in Pittsburgh that were really interesting.
EB: We have really great response in the South, because they appreciate rock ‘n’ roll. Dirty
South.
ALICE: So you had an EP come out in 2013, are you working on a full-length?
SD: We just finished our full-length about 2 months ago, we did it with JMZ Hawes
Smashing Pumpkins. We did 13 tracks with him. It’s all in the lines of our song
‘Get Higher’, so it’s really conventional rock ‘n’ roll but it still keeps our big strings and
everything. We just played a bunch of shows prior to making the record so we realized what
works for a live audience and what doesn’t. And having 5 minute orchestral things is really
nice when everyone knows the music, but if no one really knows the music then you still
have to make your footprint. And in 25 minutes you kinda have to play fast rock ‘n’ roll and
be aggressive.
EB: We kinda took from the bands of the 60s where you do live pre-production, and you
just see what people like and what they don’t like. That’s kinda how we constructed our
whole album.
SD: And the whole record we did in 2 weeks, all live trackings for drums and bass.
EB: And it’s entitled “Boom Boom Room”.
SD: 2 and a half years ago we played the Boom Boom Room here, and we were like “Alright,
that’s the album title”.
EB: That name is kind of infectious. It stuck with us for some reason.
ALICE: So when is that supposed to come out?
EB: It’s been changing.
SD: We just signed with a record label, so it’s been kind of up in the air. But now we have
management that actually has a plan to put it out right before we go on tour in the summer.
So we’re probably going to have 4 singles come out before that
EB: And one of them is with Kellin Quinn from Sleeping With Sirens.
SD: The good thing is that we’ve always kept our aesthetic. We’re releasing art films for
everything that we’re putting out there music wise.
EB: We’re obsessed with 1920s films, weird experimental films, and films from the 60s. We
put out that imagery for people to see what we want them to see when they hear our music.
It goes hand in hand, like what The Velvet Underground did…cinema, fashion, art.
ALICE: You call yourselves a “fashion art rock band”…
EB: I think you have to categorize yourselves as something
SD: Sometimes we have the label saying, “just call yourselves a rock band”, but rock can
range from so many different tones of music. You could sounds like the Temples or you
could sound like Creed or Nickelback…and that’s the problem…when people think rock
it’s that. Sometimes you just have to put a title to it so kids really understand what you’re
doing.
ALICE: I feel like there is definitely more of a visual element to what you guys do.
SD: Exactly.
ALICE: Touching on the subject of social media…do you feel like it helps you or hurts you?
SD: You have to live in this world but you have to treat it as a tool, so you can be really
creative with it, but also you can get really lost in allowing that to overtake your whole entire
band, and that’s the only thing you have is social media. You still have to have the human
connection of going out and meeting people. For the longest time we’d still pass out
fliers, and that’s how we’d get people to come to our shows. Just because someone likes a
picture on facebook doesn’t mean they’re gonna show up at the show or buy your record.
And people think that’s the only way to sell it, and it’s completely backwards…you still
have to talk to people, and you still have to go out of your way and play in front of people.
You can’t put out a youtube cover video and be like, “that’s me live!”, because that’s not a
really good way of feeling the experience of a live performance.

ALICE: Where would you flier?
SD: Outside of every venue. We sold out The Viper Room like 10 times and we’re like
“Alright, we’re done with the strip!” And we were still underage at that time too.
EB: I’ve pretty much been on tour since I was 11. You grow up quickly, kinda figure shit out
a bit. It’s a good ages to inspire a youth revolution again, and still have a sense of culture
and be remembered for this age. Because in 5 years from now we’ll be living through the
20’s, so someone needs to fucking do something that will be remembered.
SD: Kim Fowley was like “You guys are the perfect age right now”, and we were like “why
the fuck are we not doing anything?” And then you get to the point where you’re like “oh
shit, now this actually makes sense”. You know, we had to figure it out and do it on our own.
It was cool, we were the first unsigned band to win an MTV award, and we did that
ourselves.
ALICE: Well I’m excited for you guys. Sounds like 2016 is going to be an great year.
SD: We just signed with Bill McGathy for management, and it’s so exciting to be with him.
He did all the promotion for Black Crows. They’re the label for the management for Neon
Trees, Hailstorm, and this band called Highly Suspect. They’re doing really well. He was the
main radio promoter for every major label. So he did all The Strokes records, all the
Pumpkins records, The Black Crows records. So he knows where we’re coming from and
he’s just like this 60 year old dude and he’s fucking cool. He’s like “what ever you guys have
I’ll support it”.
ALICE: Knowing a lot of musicians over the years, I think it’s almost better, good things come to
those who wait. Sometimes the early fame, too young, not really knowing how to navigate can take
you down really fast. Maybe it’s good you’ve been out there, seen it, done it. You’ve created a bond
between the 3 of you, no bullshit is gonna break it up.
SD: Yeah the only thing that can come between us is the label(laughing), that’s it.
RL: Or if someone steals our food, you know?
EB: They got in a fist fight over an egg the other day but, besides that.
ALICE: Do the labels really get all fucked up like that?
EB: They like to see how far they can push us.
SB: Well it was like, I drove 13,000 miles last tour, all by myself and then played the
shows too.
RL: And they’re like, “oh, since you’ve done it once you can do it again”.
EB: It builds character they say, but I’d rather sleep.
RL: I’m already a character, you know.
SD: But it’s good because we go and do it and then we prove that every single kid that saw
us bought a t-shirt. We sold out of our merch in half the tour. Just because we dress a
certain way I think that it also does this thing where they don’t think we’re gonna work
hard, and we work harder than any asshole out there.
ALICE: But they don’t get involved in your songs or your writing…
SD: No, that’s why we signed with them. We were going to sign with someone where the
money was fine but they would have come in and said “everything sucks, let’s re-write it”.
RL: They’re really good they just let us be creative and they love everything we do.
ALICE: Who’s the label?
SD: Sumerian and Warner. It’s good. So we have an indie label out of Warner and it’s good
because we finally feel like we’re able to act like who we are but someone’s funding it, not
ourselves.
RL: We have our problems but we’re happy to be there.

ALICE: “Sebastian, you mentioned at our shoot with you and Stephanie that it took you two years
to get her so you’re never letting her go. Can you tell us how you met and the story of how you finally
got the girl of your dreams?”
Sebastian: I met her on Tinder and it has been a fairytale-love story ever since... No, we met
the old school way - out and about, through a mutual friend at the Belmont in
Los Angeles. This will sound rather cheesy but when I laid my eyes on Stephanie I felt that
desire of want - I only hope every human-being can have that same feeling once in their
lifetime. But, of course, I didn’t sweep her off her feet and run into the sunset in that
moment, we just simply became friends. I was persistent for two years - while she was living
her life and I was living mine, quietly putting together the puzzle of what became the beginning
of something authentically pure. Two years ago we had our first proper date which
led to us realizing we are individually quite alright, but together, are rather brilliant.
Stephanie: I was having a drink with my friend and this tall guy walks in roughing up his
hair and says ‘Hello, its my birthday and I just drank two bottles of wine. I’m Sebastian,
lovely to meet you’. He definitely left an impression!
ALICE: “Stephanie, with your modeling career and Sebastians’ music career, both of you are on
the road quite a bit. You must miss each other like crazy. Tell us how you two manage to keep the
sparks flying even through long distances and many days apart?”
Sebastian: Whenever Stephanie is traveling I always continually make the effort surprise
her by hiding letters, notes, & pictures in her suitcase - it is the little things that keep our
love and excitement for one another alive. Of course we miss one another tremendously if
it’s a day, week or month spent apart but we give each other the respect to live and enjoy
life. But all that time apart makes those moments spent together that more important: I
smile when she makes me happy, I let her know when she makes me mad (which is rare),
and I miss her when she’s not next to me.
Stephanie: When Sebastian is on the road we’ll keep in contact by sending photos of our
day and voice notes to each other. It’s too convenient to keep an endless text conversation
going all day long so we try to take it easy on messaging each other and just save it up for
a talk or video chat at the end of the day. We can talk for hours though, our conversations
never run dry.
ALICE: “What do you guys like to do on your free times, when work and travel isn’t on the
calendar?”
Sebastian: When we both have a free moment we enjoy nothing more than laying in bed
all day. It is a place where we are locked away on our private pillow escape; where colors
seem dreamlike, laughter brings us to tears and truthfulness signifies who we are.
Stephanie: We really enjoy cooking! We’ll try to cook at least once a day when we’re home.
Friends always hanging around the band house, its kind of an open door policy, and
everyone seems to show up at dinner time when the kitchen starts smelling good.

ALICE: “Sebastian, in one word, what best describes the thing you love most about Stephanie and
Stephanie, in one word, describe what you love most about Sebastian”
Sebastian: Stephanie is “herself” and understands who she is. I was intrigued from the
moment I met her and felt this desire to know deeper than the exterior beauty - which was
never a feeling that has overtaken me before. I’ve fallen in love with her brilliant mind, kind
heart and beautiful soul. Life has become completely different, exciting and worthwhile

all because of an emotional revelation, understanding and respect. Stephanie is happy with
the person she is and that has inspired me in all avenues of my life. I wake up next to my
best friend and know my reality is better than my un-controlled dreams. Stephanie has influenced
my life for the better and is hands down the coolest person…
Stephanie: Passionate. Sebastian has this passion that permeates every aspect of his life.
We both have such a vibrant love for each other and I see and feel that every day even if its
just from a glance or a coy smile. Theres an unspoken passion that courses between us even
when we’re across the room from each other. I see this same sentiment in his music and I
think its what inspires him to make really beautiful art, he puts all his emotion and mental
energy into a piece to make it perfect or he’ll call it shit and scrap it. And the same is true
for him in business, Sebastian is extremely hands on, if he has opinions he’ll never back
down, he stands up and fights for his creative choices. Its really inspiring to be with someone
who dives into life and work so wholeheartedly.
ALICE: “If the two of you could escape for two weeks to anywhere in the world, where would you
go”
Sebastian: I romanticize the idea of a chateau in the south of France but honestly if I can
wear nothing besides a fur coat for two weeks while cooking with the worlds greatest ingredients
in a Restoration Hardware style kitchen with my lovely sous-chef Stephanie - that
would be perfect.
Stephanie: Since I was a kid I’ve had this daydream of escaping to the English countryside
and establishing myself as the countess of a manor. I’d make tea and pick the herbs from
my garden and write. Living in a Jane Austen novel sounds quite relaxing. But realistically
I’ve traveled so much for work recently that just being at home and hiking and going to the
farmer’s markets sounds good to me.
ALICE: “You both live in Los Angeles. Where is your favorite place to go and why?”
Sebastian: We’ve never been the ‘long walks on the beach’ type but we’ll take the dogs out
to the trails around Lake Hollywood and sit on the beat up bench at the lookout. As well,
we enjoy the Huntington Gardens. I was infatuated with Stephanie but I knew it was true
love when we realized we go to the same hair salon, Salon Benjamin on Melrose.
Stephanie: Los Angeles has several distinct neighborhoods so living here never feels
stagnant, there’s always something to do. Figaro in Los Feliz is one of our favorite dinner
date spots, it feels like Paris inside. I’m a fan of getting a little gritty so I love Downtown,
especially La Cita. It looks like a Mexican restaurant but inside its a bar decked out with
christmas lights and a big back patio, it reminds me of my grandma’s house. Sebastian loves
Indian food so theres this really great spot on Ventura Place called Gangadin we go to, the
owner has the best stories about when he had long hair and played rock n roll in the ’70s!
ALICE: “Your futures look bright and shiny. What plans do you two have down the turnpike?”
Sebastian: This past year Remington, Emerson and myself finally put together a powerhouse
of a team that believes in the longevity of Palaye Royale’s art. We realized this music
business is more corporate than we thought, we had to conform just a little bit to be allowed
to continue to create on the scale of cataclysmic stardom we have always longed for.
We finalized our debut album entitled ‘Boom Boom Room: Side A’ with co-producer James
Iha (Guitarist of Smashing Pumpkins) which is scheduled to release in late spring. We will
also be caravanning all across North America for nine to ten months starting mid-February.

Stephanie: I’ve been really fortunate in my modeling career so that has given me some
stability to focus on acting. My film ‘Wolf Mother’ is coming out this summer, I play teen
prostitute Jennie, who, despite having the best intentions ends up dragging the motley heroes
(played by Najarra Townsend and Kevin Pinasse) into even more trouble than they’re
already in…she unintentionally screws everyone and places a lot of that emotional burden
on herself. We shot around San Francisco and on our last day up there we wrapped at like
five in the morning, my friend who I was staying with wasn’t awake yet so I ended up passing
out on her door stoop. I scared the hell out of her roommate when he left for work but
I was able to make a peace offering with the fresh bagels and coffee I had picked up.
ALICE: “We witnessed it ourselves on our photo shoot with you two: You are in LOVE! And you’re
both successful. Any advice to our readers on how to keep love alive in such a heavy social network
presence where everything is pretend?”
Sebastian: Love is brilliant and we deserve to celebrate the beauty of true love everyday..
Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who turns your world around and
truly becomes your all - Stephanie is that wonderful person for me. You just need to open
your heart with knowing there’s a chance it may be broken one day but in opening your
heart, you will experience a love and joy that you never dreamed of. You find strength in
knowing you have a best friend and possibly a soul mate till the very end.
“Keep the pure intention of your love and art alive”.
Stephanie: Its almost impossible to ignore someone’s social media image when you first
start dating. Everyone has this ‘false self’ that they put out for the world to see so its easy
to fixate on who you think that person is. When you accept someone for who they are, no
filters to hide behind, and you allow yourself to be vulnerable and show who you truly are,
then you can find a fiercely loyal, true love. Vulnerability is a hard place to put yourself
in. How can anyone find deep real love when you’re seeing someone on an app, going on
one date, fucking and then walking away. Put emotion into dating! And if it doesn’t work
it’s still a win because you tried, too many people approach relationships scared, don’t be
scared. Sebastian and I agree that trust and respect are the most important things we have.
Find that person who you respect beyond words, created that wholehearted trust and fall
into that person, let it immerse you.
