Three weeks. One plane ticket. My first trip overseas. And absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.

What started as one impulsive decision to see The Cure in Dublin somehow turned into one of the most unforgettable weekends of my life.

There was sleep deprivation. Culture shock. Complete strangers who became part of the story. Questionable decision-making. A few moments that felt way too cinematic to actually be happening to me… and, of course, the reason I crossed an ocean in the first place: finally seeing The Cure.

Some trips you plan for months....apparently I just buy the ticket.

Welcome to Episode 7 of Redhead Gothcast!

After an accidental two-month hiatus, Redhead Gothcast is officially back!

This week I'm recapping my weekend at Warped Tour DC, from dancing to Sleeping With Sirens, screaming every word with 3OH!3, finally seeing Sace6 live, and once again being reminded why the alternative music community feels like home.

But before we get into the festival...

Something happened this week that I genuinely never thought I'd say out loud regarding Motionless In White. If you've followed me for any amount of time, you already know how much I love this band... which is exactly why this episode starts with one of the most difficult music conversations I've ever had.

In this episode:
• My full Warped Tour DC recap
• My favorite performances of the weekend
• Why 2 bands are impossible for me to rank
• A Motionless In White discussion I never expected to have
• Why the people in the alternative music scene keep me coming back year after year

And stick around, because next week's episode is all about my solo trip to Ireland to see The Cure.

At 4 years old, my uncle sat my brother and I down in front of It… and accidentally altered the trajectory of my entire life.

In this episode of Redhead Gothcast, I’m talking about the exact horror movie scenes that permanently scarred me, why sewer drains still make me uncomfortable, how my brother became terrified of horror movies while I built an entire personality around them, and the very real pipeline from childhood psychological damage to goth girl adulthood.

Also in this episode:

• I booked a flight to Ireland to see The Cure
• I accidentally posted an INSANE screenshot to my public story
• I shattered my phone screen interviewing a band because my tripod apparently came from Temu

So basically:
trauma, clowns, metal music, emotional instability, and chaos.
