About Me


Hot Vibes Magazine is an online/offline music magazine that was started in January of 2001 in order to give back to music fans everywhere. Tired of seeing fifty year old reporters ask musicians the same boring questions, the all female staff decided to take it upon themselves to change how people viewed journalists. Despite their young ages, the teenage girls set out to make an .. magazine that would bring the fans closer to their favorite artists through exclusive interviews, contests, and concert reviews. With that in mind there was only one problem ... What’s next? Without help or funding, the girls created a website, set up interviews with local artists, and made contacts with their spare time and money hoping Hot Vibes would eventually take off.
&nbspFive and a half years, and 190,000+ hits later, the girls continue to pursue their dreams of creating a successful magazine. Since 2001, they’ve landed interviews with well known acts like, Simple Plan, Hoobastank, The Click Five, New Found Glory, Jesse McCartney, Something Corporate, and more. They’ve covered various events in the New England and Tri State Areas including the Boston Music Awards, video shoots for pop acts Katelyn Tarver and PLAY, and have even been featured in other magazines. The website also provides fans with pictures, CD reviews, and one of a kind contests (which in the past have included a pizza party with LMNT, and a chance to spend New Years Eve with the new singing sensation Dustin James).
&nbspWith all of their success it came as no surprise as they watched other .. magazines run by teens pop up on the net like wildfire. Once again setting themselves apart from the crowd, the girls decided it was time to get serious and take Hot Vibes Magazine to print. They had several meetings to discuss the details of the offline version and decided to make it into an entertainment newspaper. Similar to the website the offline version features interviews, concerts reviews, and exclusive contests with artists they support. Thanks to fundraisers, donations, and your purchases the girls raised enough money to come out with the first issue of their magazine in July 2003.
&nbspSince the release of their first offline edition three years have passed, music has changed, and the staff has matured. The girls have not yet released a second issue, but wish to do so in the future. Currently they spend their spare time working in and around the music business. Make sure to keep checking back for interviews, contests, and reviews from your favorite bands. Hot Vibes has amazing things in the works, so stay tuned.

video recap

I'd like to meet:



Before Hot Vibes began Andria and Heather knew they wanted to be apart of the music industry. After conducting many interviews and dealing with several tour managers the ladies quickly decided the touring industry was for them. In 2003 the ladies began the Entertainment Management program at Bay State College in Boston, MA with hopes of one day touring for a living. In 2005 they both graduated with an Associates Degree and began to make their mark in this crazy business.

Upon graduating the girls found work at many local shows including Taste of Chaos Tour, Locobazooka, and dates with Boston based acts Aloud, and The Adam Ezra Group. Although the work was fun it took a backseat when they were both hired to work a summer tour called Camplified. It wasn't long before they realized their home was the road, and traded in their Boston apartment for suitcases and tour busses.

Since then both Andria and Heather have been actively touring with bands and on marketing tours doing everything from merchandise and tour management, to photography and video. Some of the tours they've proudly survived include: the Vans Warped Tour 2006/2007, Camplified 2005/2006/2007, Saints and Sinners Tour 2006, Take Action! Tour 2007, Hello Goodbye Tour 2007, and the March of Dimes Tour 2007.

With all of the travelling and working the duo have done in the past three years they hope to release a book in the future. "You Can't Put Groupie On Your Resume" will feature stories about the tours they've been on, and secrets about living life on the road.

[If you have questions for either Andria or Heather feel free to message this account, or send them a message on their personal accounts linked above.]
