For years and years and years, we have been fans of the danceable synthy punk music of LA’s own, Automatic.

Halle Gaines, Lola Dompé, and Izzy Glaudini make music that hits us right where it hurts best, and we can’t get enough of them. Having just gone out on a month-long North American tour with The Maria’s, we wanted to see what sort of strange things they got up to on the road, and they didn’t disappoint. Drinking gasoline and playing baseball. Freaky stuff. Here’s a glimpse into the touring lives of one of LA’s best bands, with photos shot by all three members (plus guardian angel Anna) and captions by Halle Gaines.
