In addition to being able to melt your face with their music, the members of New Years Day draw attention for their made-up faces and leather-and-chains clothing.
Lead singer Ashley “Ash” Costello will be wearing a new item when the band takes the stage at Revelry Room on Friday, March 3: a cast.
“I broke my foot,” she explains in a telephone interview. The actual circumstances are very non-heavy metal – she stepped off a step wrong – but she says she’ll come up with a better story soon. She did insist that the cast be black.
As for the makeup and clothing, Costello says, “This is who we are. It’s a common misconception that we created our image for the band.”
