Art/Design Twin Atlantic: 3 out of 4 Ain’t Bad
by Barbie Brady and Sidney Bensimon June 19, 2009 - 11:19 am
Ross McNae has tattoos. The bass player for Twin Atlantic has at least 4 that I can see on his stark white arms. He paces back and forth at the Tattoo Lounge in Mar Vista California while awaiting his turn in the chair. He’s the third member of the band to get tattooed today. Guitar player Barry has opted out.
But Craig has had some bad experiences being tattooed, including both throwing up and passing out. In his defense he admits to being completely intoxicated and dehydrated for both, neither of which would he or I recommend.
Today he’s the 3rd member of the band to get a reminder of their time in Los Angeles, and this whole crazy trip called rock n roll. Ross is getting an abstract origami looking design on the inside of his upper arm. Clearly its personal, and its kind of sweet how these guys aren’t trying to be anything other than who they are. Their sincerity and humility strike me as what’s lacking in a whole lot of LA. Especially this industry.
Over the past 2 months that Twin Atlantic has been in town recording I’ve had the opportunity to really get to know these guys, and I have to wish them the best of luck. They are hitting the european festival circuit this summer and plan to return to LA this coming October.
Until then…Let’s check in with Ross while he gets inked up American style…
