Photo Diary: supermodel* Throws a Post-Show Party in LA
After three months crisscrossing Europe - London, Amsterdam, Madrid, and a run of festival stops including All Points East - Frankie Beanie finally made it back to Los Angeles, the city where supermodel* began. His show at El Cid landed right in the middle of the 'cupid!' rollout, the debut mixtape that's found him trading in doomed love and dancefloor catharsis in equal measure.
Beanie celebrated his homecoming by hosting a free afterparty for friends and fans at Sunset Boulevard's The Hunt Vintage. His friend Jan Christiansen was there to capture it all, exclusively for DMY: the sweat, the afterglow, the familiar faces who'd been watching supermodel*'s world take shape from the very start. Here's a snapshot of the night Frankie Beanie came home.
"I've been on tour in Europe for the last three months, so this party we threw was sort of like the homecoming. originally we were going to have a show in a proper venue, but some things got moved around that were out of my control, so we decided to just throw something ourselves."
"This is my homie @joeehp, he builds all the shows with me since way back. Big dog since day one."
"My dad made this sign."
"This is me, Joe, and the homie @westonfreas. Probably talking about some bullshit."
"My spirit guide @saranix (she’s gonna kill me for including this)."
"supermodel* in his natural element. I like this t-shirt."
"I don’t have any thoughts on this one i just thought this shit looked hard."
"Love to @the.hunt.vintage for letting us throw the party with such short notice. Connection & community."
