The Material’s Colleen is a painter, too

San Diego band The Material (@thematerial) might have a chance to play at the Vans Warped Tour if you vote for them on Ernie Ball’s Battle of the Bands by June 10. So what does that have to do with Twitter pictures? Well the band’s lead singer, Colleen D’Agostino (@Colleen52), says to DM her if you’re going to a show and want to buy one of her paintings. If you have questions, you can toss them her way on her Formspring. Beatweek Magazine (@beatweek) already asked a bunch of questions in a recent interview. For more about the band, visit The Material on MySpace, and make sure to check out their YouTube channel to watch some acoustic covers and studio footage. Finally, here is D’Agostino’s art from that tweet.
