You've reached entertainment freelance photo-journalist Angie V hailing from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada, home of the Sleeping Giant (and our very own dessert called a Persian) My friend Ann ( www.myspace.com/rockitann ) and I have a Thunder Bay based zine called ROCKIT ( www.rockitbay.com ) that's been up and running for 6 years! My first interview was Zuckerbaby on Nov. 21st of 2000. Sign the guestbook while you're there, we'd love to hear from you!
I've had a fascination with fame since I was a child and my first Barbie doll was Barbie and the Rockers; clearly a foreshadow of things to come. I grew up in a musical family who have helped me to appreciate all styles and genres of music. Music is the air I breathe and the blood running through my veins.
My first rock concert was Age of Electric and Zuckerbaby on September 20th, in 1997 at my uncle's bar The Millennium in Thunder Bay, ON. I was 13, and my life has never been the same since. From that day on, I found a new respect, appreciation and passion for the Canadian music scene.
I think female musicians and performers are inspiring and liberating. Thank you ladies for taking risks, daring to set the standard, and creating new ways to define what it means to be female. You have broken the mold and shattered the stereotype of the glass ceiling, all while striving for the ability to RAWK!!!!
Let us remember that MUSIC would not be where it is today without its pioneers; those who have paved the way, and are a source of inspiration. To know where you're going, you must know where you've been. God bless: Bowie, Prince, The Ramones, Madonna, Elvis, Cash, Willie Nelson, Joplin, MJ, AC/DC, Anthrax, Marley, Hendrix, Ray Charles, Little Richard, James Brown, Public Enemy, The Talking Heads, Ozzy, The Beach Boys, Slayer, Run DMC, Dylan, The Who, Rancid, Bauhaus, Blondie, Metallica, The Beatles, The Stones, Buddy Holly, NWA, Iggy Pop, Bad Religion, MC5, Black Sabbath, & Black Flag to name but a few.
For all your: promotion, booking, interview and photography needs or inquiries, email me at [email protected]

You are a Rocker Girl!

What Kind of Girl Are You?
If you don't have musical talent, you've got a talent for picking out great CD's. Music rules your life - and you've got the best MP3 collection of anyone you know. Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime. Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker!

My Interests

LIVE MUSIC BABY!!

Writing, interviewing, photography, scrapbooking, travelling, staying active, surfing the net, pop culture, makeup, red hair, high heels, polka dots, leopard and zebra print.
Meeting new and interesting people and especially those who travel the world and rawk the mic night after night. You have my ears and eyes.
