From Young Punk Rockers to Young-at-Heart Healers
Then...
12 years ago, deep in the bowels of the young, drunk, and dirty Boston punk rock scene, Chrissy and I met. Likely at the Abbey Lounge in Somerville. Likely while spitting Miller High Life all over The Acrobrats while they played a set on stage. Our bands played together many times in the early 2000s and we quickly bonded, cuz you see, rocker chicks were a rarity and needed to stick together.

And now...
Fast forward over a decade and here we are... older... closer... and now collaborating musically, artistically, mentally, and spiritually. The Chaos Factor is a side project that took many years to find its identity, but now it's here and it's on a roll. We've definitely found our witchy niche, inspired by our historic Salem surroundings as well as the earth, the moon, nature, and all the healing elements above and below.

On love...
Sunday was our first vending opportunity in Salem, at the Pop Rocks Craft Fair Popup at Old Salem Town Hall. I typically don't buy into "Valentine's Day" themed things, but love was in the air on Sunday. Working with Creative North Shore was a dream and all the other vendors were awe-inspiring. We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a hard-working creative group, and we are in LOVE with our local arts and music scene. Here are a couple of our favorite collaborators...
And a couple new fans...
Oh, I almost forgot, my favorite moment from the entire day! Playing an acoustic set for these adorable bouncy twin girls, Elsie Mae and Clementine. Ahhhhh! Exploding hearts!
What's next?
Well, that's about it with the gushy love fest for awhile... Keep an eye on our events page to see where we will pop up next. And make sure you give all our social accounts a follow!
