about

I am a (female) wizard rocker. I am Seven Potters.

My knee-jerk response to recent events (other than sadness/anger) is action. Many prominent wizard rockers have or had been huge inspirations to me, and are the reason I began making music at all.

I need to remember that the whole wizard rock community is still out there screaming along to “Save Ginny” in their cars on the way to work, listening to RiddleTM in the evening while they surf tumblr, strumming G, C, and D when they get a few spare moments… No matter how much it seemed like it at the time, wizard rock was never about the few, but the many- us.

Which is why in this case, at least for me, I look to the music. I can’t promise I, or anyone else, will immediately pick up our guitars again and pen albums the likes and rate of which appeared during the halcyon days of wrock, but I wanted to remind myself how much joy the community as a whole brought me (and still brings), and at the core of that is the music. This is what I can contribute.

JK Rowling once said that the books really asked a question: why fight? Why fight in the face of so much evil in the world? The answer, of course, is because there is goodness, love and friendship left, and it’s worth fighting for.

Wrock on, my friends.

(side note: I struggled with posting this because I don’t want to seem I am trying to capitalize on what happened somehow. This song is free… but this isn’t about listening to my music. It is about loving each other well. Go listen to Harry and the Potters instead, or Alas Earwax!, or How Airplanes Fly (some of my favorites). Better yet, write! I love to see new wrock songs hit the myspacez.)

(second side note: I know I am re-releasing this song, but that was an old practice recording. I felt compelled to put some heart into it, and it felt very fitting to how I feel. Also, making music is therapeutic for me.)
