You know what’s easier than following around your fave pop stars, day in, day out, to see what they’re up to right that minute? Asking them. This month, GUS DAPPERTON lets us in on what he’s up to.
10:37AM → I know it seems late, but we had a show the night before, and I was exhausted. I got down from the top bunk of the bus in an ungraceful manner and made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Was feeling too lazy to get fully dressed up, so I threw on my bandana, yellow sunglasses, and sandals (a repetitive look of mine).
11:04AM → Now I'm calling a Lyft to my friend Max's house. We planned to meet up for lunch with a few other friends of mine since I haven't seen them in forever. As I'm calling the Uber, I see a text from my sister Ruby: "Did you wish Mom a happy Mother's Day". Shit, I forgot it's Mother's Day. I therefore texted her, phew.
I get in the Uber and throw my headphones in. Listening to new demos in the car is one of my favourite things in the world. I listen to them over and over and make constant notes to reference later when I have time to work on them.
11:31AM → Finally, I arrive at Max's house. I'm overjoyed to see him as well as my other friends Greg (of Junior Varsity) and Luigi. We had some delicious Greek food in his yard and caught up on life. We talked about human design and which seltzers are the worst for you. I picked up a ukulele at one point and accidentally started playing 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'.
2:52PM → Greg and I carpooled back to The Greek. I wanted him to try on my new merch so I could take pictures of him in it (he's a good model). We found a couple spots in Griffith Park and took some photos. I did the same thing with my bandmate Tommy (also a great model).
