This week on Local Music Shapes Culture I chat with Maude Atlas - a multi-medium artist who's been a fixture in our local scene through her painting, photography, and as the vocalist of the band Frizbee.
Though Frizbee recently ended, Maude shares exciting news about their upcoming record "Sour Kisses" releasing May 9th through Noise Merchant and Painters Tapes. We dig into her journey from documenting shows as a photographer to taking the stage herself, the importance of all-women bands, and why she believes "a scene is only as good as the people who document it."
Maude is leaving the Indy scene for Chicago soon – and we reflect on the evolution of Indy's music scene, the need for more DIY venues, and how Maude’s intuitive approach to art has helped her discover her identity. From house show memories at her house venue in Muncie, the Sauna, to spiritual connections in her paintings, we dive into the beautiful intersection of art, community, and personal growth
