THE EMPTY HEARTS Premiere New Video & Announce More Tour Dates

Posted on November 10, 2014 by The Empty Hearts

“In a time where rock n’ roll has become so complacent comes a grouping of deeply rooted talent netting nothing less than stellar  rock n’ roll.” –Screamer Magazine

The Empty Hearts  is available worldwide on 429 Records.

The Empty Hearts (a name coined by Little Steven from his secret list of unused band names), is a band who sound like musical cohorts who came of age in the 70’s and 80’s music scenes and play by a DIY punk rock code of ethics. A self-proclaimed band of “rock and roll lifers”, the chemistry clicked immediately–they are all connected having come together as a band of friends.

“…they’re just having a good time playing some tough, swaggering rock & roll that’s also a lot of fun and a look back at their younger days as fans, and if you have any taste for this era of music, this will give you a big ol’ grin and make you wanna move, and there’s nothing wrong with that.” Allmusic

The Empty Hearts Premiere Two Tracks to Open July

by Katherine Yeske Taylor July 1, 2020, 7:58 am

The Empty Hearts are inarguably rock and roll royalty: the band members are guitarist Elliot Easton (The Cars), drummer Clem Burke (Blondie), lead singer Wally Palmar (The Romantics), and bassist Andy Babiuk (The Chesterfield Kings). With a lineup like that, it’s no surprise that their new singles, “The Best That I Can” and “The World’s Gone Insane” (double-premiering at American Songwriter on July 1), are both impeccable examples of ‘60s-influenced garage rock.

Videos by American Songwriter

“Those two songs in particular, really came about from a mutual collaboration in the recording studio,” says Burke, calling from his New Jersey home. “Someone would have a riff or a title. We’d all pick up on one another’s vibe and where it’s going with the song, and we would all fall into a groove. And we collaborated on the lyrics. All the songs are credited to the four of us. There’s a lot of give and take. It came together really organically.”

Both of these songs are taken from The Second Album , which is indeed the second album from The Empty Hearts (their self-titled debut came out in 2014). The Second Album ( pre-order ) will be released on August 28 by Little Steven’s Wicked Cool Records label. (Little Steven, a longtime friend to the members, is also the one who came up with the band name The Empty Hearts.)

The band’s goal with this album was, according to Easton (calling from his Los Angeles home) to create an album that was like the ones that the members enjoyed in their youth, where “You would get together with your friends and listen to the whole album from beginning to end and nobody even talks,” he says. “The sort of record that you start at one place and it takes you on a little journey and sets you down someplace else.”

Easton recalls how, despite the band members’ diverse backgrounds, they agreed on their musical style right from the moment they formed The Empty Hearts in 2013: “Let’s form a band based on playing music that reminds us of why we wanted to play music in the first place,” he says. “In other words, the stuff we always loved and all the common ground that we share in our mutual influences.” He and Burke both cite groundbreaking ‘50s and ‘60s artists such as Elvis and The Beatles as key influences.

Beyond their shared musical vision for The Empty Hearts, Burke says that they also enjoy playing together simply because they respect and like each other. “We are all admirers of one another’s musical abilities, and we’re able to collaborate as friends and have a good time,” he says. “One of the big things about the band is the camaraderie. When we record, when we perform, we’re having a really good time, so it has that essence of what it was like to be in a band as friends when you first started out.”

Since his own early days in the music business, Burke has gone on to become one of the most celebrated drummers in rock, but he says his goal when he started out was simple: “I knew I didn’t want to have a job!” he says. “Playing music is playing more than working. I began to be in bands when I was in high school. I was always playing a lot at high school dances, birthday parties, shopping center openings, all this kind of stuff. I moved to Manhattan and I got involved in that whole scene that was going on at CBGB’s, and one thing led to another. I think it was a combination of hard work and luck, and I’m happy with everything.”

Easton – who has also had an astonishingly successful career (and who, like Burke is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee), also had no doubts about what he wanted to do from his earliest days. His mother was a Julliard-trained singer, and she encouraged his emerging musical talent. “I have pictures of me at three years old with my guitar and my hair slicked back, already a rocker!” he says with a laugh.

Now, both Easton and Burke are thrilled that Ringo Starr – whose drumming with The Beatles proved so pivotal during their formative years – is the guest drummer on “Remember Days Like These,” one of the tracks on The Second Album . “To have started out as a 10-year old seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show and having that affect my life in so many ways – to get Ringo to play a track was an incredible gift,” Easton says.

“When The Beatles performed on television in the United States the first time, they seemed otherworldly. It seemed like they were from another planet. Very, very different for us when we were kids,” Burke says, adding that having Starr play on the song means “We got The Beatles seal of approval, which is amazing. It’s amazing to have a Beatle on [our] record. I’m really, really happy about it.”

Given The Empty Hearts members’ pedigree – and that of their guest musicians – it’s likely that expectations for The Second Album will be high, but Burke says he doesn’t worry about that. “I don’t really try to think about it that way,” he says. “I just try to play the best music that I can. I like to find a group of musicians that I’m able to work with that I like, and have confidence in our abilities.”

Easton agrees that the pressure is off, as far as the members are concerned. “You know what it is? We’re not 23 [years old] anymore. And we’ve all had good success in our lives. We don’t have a chip on our shoulder. We’re not trying to prove anything to anybody. We just want to make some good, fun rock and roll – get out of your chair, dance, have a good time!”

Still, Easton adds, “I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with this record, how it’s accepted and where it goes and how people get to it. I’m really excited about it and proud of it. We hope people will give the album a chance, and we hope they like it.”

Singles & eps, about the empty hearts.

Featuring Wally Palmar (the Romantics), Elliot Easton (the Cars), Andy Babiuk (the Chesterfield Kings), and Clem Burke (Blondie), The Empty Hearts play simple, straightforward, but soulful rock & roll informed by '60s garage rock and British Invasion sounds. The band gathered in Rochester, New York in March 2013 at Babiuk's recording studio Fab Gear, with Ed Stasium as producer and former Faces keyboard player Ian McLagan guesting on piano and organ. In five days, the Empty Hearts knocked out an album's worth of new material, and after striking a deal with 429 Records, the album, simply called The Empty Hearts, was released in 2014. ~ Mark Deming

In the 1970s, hitmakers from the previous decade formed supergroups to continue on the arena circuit. In 2014, a quartet of hitmakers from the ’70s is looking to get back to the garage and play straightforward rock ‘n’ roll.

The Cars’ Elliot Easton, Blondie drummer Clem Burke, Romantics lead singer Wally Palmar and Chesterfield Kings bassist Andy Babiuk have formed the Empty Hearts, enlisting the assistance of Faces pianist Ian McLagan and Ramones producer-engineer Ed Stasium on their debut album. Savoy Label Group’s 429 Records will release “The Empty Hearts” on Aug. 5, which will be followed by an October-November tour of the U.S.

Babiuk, whose ’60s-inspired Chesterfield Kings released its three most recent albums on Little Steven Van Zandt’s label Wicked Cool Records, was looking for a music project beyond the Kings a few years ago. He was working with Van Zandt on the David Chase film “Not Fade Away” securing all the ’60s musical equipment when he shared his idea with the E Street Band guitarist.

“I hadn’t talked to the other guys because I was still formulating the idea. It was ‘remember when we were kids and more inspired by the Stones, the Beatles and the Kinks?’,” Babiuk tells Billboard. “That vibe when you just have fun? Wouldn’t it be fun again? That was the promise and it’s still the cardinal rule of the band.”

The first call was to Palmar who was touring with Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band. He was in, then Burke followed quickly and brought along Easton. The band members, all products of the same generation, knew each other from sharing concert bills, playing together and hanging out; all those empty promises of “working together someday” came true after they did some demos of songs Palmar and Babiuk sketched out.

Pleased with the initial recordings, Burke called Babiuk in March 2013 to say he had a break from Blondie and had booked a flight to Rochester, N.Y., and that they would record the album in his studio. They cut the record in five days.

“Ed (Stasium) would have run through the songs and he’d make some adjustments in the arrangements and say now we’re gonna cut this,” Babiuk says of the working system. “If you make a mistake, you have to throw in 20 bucks. I think four or five songs were done in one take. Having the four guys in the room, that energy, really comes through in the record. When a band is playing music and having fun, people can sense that, and that’s when it catches on.”

Throughout their brief existence they had struggled attempting to find a name. Internet searches on the good ones they created wound up taken and they eventually turned to Van Zandt to see if he had any ideas.

“He had a list of 20 kickass names and we looked up the ones we liked and somebody was using it,” says Babiuk, noting they were legally advised to be cautious with regards to a name. “About three weeks later I get a text from Steven. ‘You guys are going to be called the Empty Hearts.’ I copied the text to other guys and said ‘any of you want to argue with Silvio Dante?’ It was a name nobody was using.”

The Empty Hearts recorded without a deal or with little sense of whether the recordings would ever be released. They signed with manager Jonathan Wolfson (Daryl Hall & John Oates; Loverboy), who shopped the album, eventually signing with 429.

“We didn’t want to worry about that,” Babiuk says. “The only thing they asked was that we keep it under wraps. I think we’ve done a god job keeping this a secret.”

Taylor Swift breaks our hearts again with Track 5 ‘So Long, London'

In a heartbreak letter to the English capital city Taylor Swift had called home, the singer says so long to London. The choice of this song for Track 5 on her new album "The Tortured Poets Department" is intentional. Throughout Swift's 11 eras, Track 5 is reserved for a special, vulnerable song.

“Track five is kind of a tradition that really started with you guys," Swift said live on Instagram in July 2019 , "because I didn’t realize I was doing this, but as I was making albums, I guess, I don’t know why, but instinctively I was just kind of putting a very vulnerable, personal, honest, emotional song as Track 5."

“So Long, London” puts Swift’s poetry prowess on display. It reads in part:

I didn’t opt in to be your odd man out

I founded the club she’s heard great things about

I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the heath

I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use

The spirit was gone, we will never come to

And I’m p****d off you let me give you all that youth for free

Swift showcases the emotions of processing a breakup, saying goodqbye to a partner and also to a community she considered a home. One line that especially pierces in the “Tortured Poets” track: “I’m p****d you let me give you all that youth for free.”

'Tortured Poets' release live updates: Taylor Swift's album has dropped

A look back at Track 5s

Known to be break-up anthems or songs with exposed relationship emotions, here are lyrics from each of Swift's 11 track fives:

• Debut - "Cold As You " : "You never did give a damn thing, honey / But I cried, cried for you / And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you / Died for you"
• Fearless - "White Horse" : "And there you are on your knees / Begging for forgiveness, begging for me / Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry / 'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairy tale / I'm gonna find someone someday / Who might actually treat me well"
• Speak Now - "Dear John" : "You are an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry / Never impressed by me acing your tests / All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes / 'Cause you burned them out / But I took your matches before fire could catch me / So don't look now / I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town"
• Red - "All Too Well": "Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it / I'd like to be my old self again / But I'm still trying to find it / After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own / Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone"
• 1989 - "All You Had To Do Was Stay": "People like you always want back the love they gave away / And people like me wanna believe you when you say you've changed / The more I think about it now, the less I know / All I know is that you drove us off the road"
• Reputation - "Delicate": "This ain't for the best / My reputation's never been worse, so / You must like me for me / We can't make / Any promises now, can we, babe? / But you can make me a drink"
• Lover - "The Archer": "Dark side, I search for your dark side / But what if I'm all right, right, right, right here? / And I cut off my nose just to spite my face / Then I hate my reflection for years and years / I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost / The room is on fire, invisible smoke / And all of my heroes die all alone / Help me hold onto you"
• Folklore - "My Tears Ricochet": "You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same / Cursing my name, wishing I stayed / You turned into your worst fears / And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain / Crossing out the good years / And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed / Look at how my tears ricochet"
• Evermore - "Tolerate It": "While you were out building other worlds, where was I? / Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? / I made you my temple, my mural, my sky / Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life / Drawing hearts in the byline / Always taking up too much space or time"
• Midnights - "You're On Your Own Kid": "From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes / I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this / I hosted parties and starved my body / Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss / The jokes weren't funny, I took the money / My friends from home don't know what to say / I looked around in a blood-soaked gown / And I saw something they can't take away"
• The Tortured Poets Department - "So Long, London":

'The Tortured Poets Department'

If you didn't get the memo from the department's Chairman, "Tortured Poets" is Swift's 11th era album with 16 tracks and four bonus songs (four versions of the album each have a different bonus track).

Swift announced the project at the Grammys, when she won her 13th career Grammy for pop album of the year. Post Malone and Florence and The Machine  are two contributors on the pop album.

Its track titles are brutal. Fans speculated the album was about Swift’s six-year relationship with English actor Joe Alwyn and their breakup. Both stars kept the relationship out of the public eye. The back of the first version of the album reads, “I love you, it’s ruining me,” serving as a dagger-to-the-chest harbinger.

The album was released during Swift's two-month break from her massively popular and economically fruitful Eras Tour . "Tortured Poets" serves as an exclamation point to the behemoth success the billionaire has seen over the past year since the three-plus-hour show launched in Glendale, Arizona. Swift will return to the stage in Paris, France, on May 9. Fans anticipate that her newest era will be added to the show.

'The Tortured Poet's Department' drops April 19...are you ready for it? Catch Taylor Swift live with tickets at Vivid Seats , shop merchandise , and stream her latest on Disney+ . Purchases you make through our links may earn us and our publishing partners a commission.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Poets’ Arrives With a Promotional Blitz (and a Second LP)

The pop superstar’s latest album was preceded by a satellite radio channel, a word game, a return to TikTok and an actual library. For her fans, more is always welcome.

By Ben Sisario

Taylor Swift was already the most ubiquitous pop star in the galaxy, her presence dominating the music charts, the concert calendar, the Super Bowl, the Grammys.

Then it came time for her to promote a new album.

In the days leading up to the release of “The Tortured Poets Department” on Friday, Swift became all but inescapable, online and seemingly everywhere else. Her lyrics were the basis for an Apple Music word game . A Spotify-sponsored, Swift-branded “ library installation ,” in muted pink and gray, popped up in a shopping complex in Los Angeles. In Chicago, a QR code painted on a brick wall directed fans to another Easter egg on YouTube. Videos on Swift’s social media accounts, showing antique typewriters and globes with pins, were dissected for clues about her music. SiriusXM added a Swift radio station; of course it’s called Channel 13 (Taylor’s Version).

About the only thing Swift didn’t do was an interview with a journalist.

At this stage in Swift’s career, an album release is more than just a moment to sell music; it’s all but a given that “The Tortured Poets Department” will open with gigantic sales numbers, many of them for “ghost white,” “phantom clear” and other collector-ready vinyl variants . More than that, the album’s arrival is a test of the celebrity-industrial complex overall, with tech platforms and media outlets racing to capture whatever piece of the fan frenzy they can get.

Threads, the newish social media platform from Meta, primed Swifties for their idol’s arrival there, and offered fans who shared Swift’s first Threads post a custom badge. Swift stunned the music industry last week by breaking ranks with her record label, Universal, and returning her music to TikTok, which Universal and other industry groups have said pays far too little in royalties. Overnight, TikTok unveiled “The Ultimate Taylor Swift In-App Experience,” offering fans digital goodies like a “Tortured Poets-inspired animation” on their feed.

Before the album’s release on Friday, Swift revealed that a music video — for “Fortnight,” the first single, featuring Post Malone — would arrive on Friday at 8 p.m. Eastern time. At 2 a.m., she had another surprise: 15 more songs. “I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you,” she wrote in a social media post , bringing “The Anthology” edition of the album to 31 tracks.

“The Tortured Poets Department,” which Swift, 34, announced in a Grammy acceptance speech in February — she had the Instagram post ready to go — lands as Swift’s profile continues to rise to ever-higher levels of cultural saturation.

Her Eras Tour , begun last year, has been a global phenomenon, crashing Ticketmaster and lifting local economies ; by some estimates, it might bring in as much as $2 billion in ticket sales — by far a new record — before it ends later this year. Swift’s romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been breathlessly tracked from its first flirtations last summer to their smooch on the Super Bowl field in February. The mere thought that Swift might endorse a presidential candidate this year sent conspiracy-minded politicos reeling .

“The Tortured Poets Department” — don’t even ask about the missing apostrophe — arrived accompanied by a poem written by Stevie Nicks that begins, “He was in love with her/Or at least she thought so.” That establishes what many fans correctly anticipated as the album’s theme of heartbreak and relationship rot, Swift’s signature topic. “I love you/It’s ruining my life,” she sings on “Fortnight.”

Fans were especially primed for the fifth track, “So Long, London,” given that (1) Swift has said she often sequences her most vulnerable and emotionally intense songs fifth on an LP, and (2) the title suggested it may be about Joe Alwyn, the English actor who was Swift’s boyfriend for about six years, reportedly until early 2023 . Indeed, “So Long” is an epic breakup tune, with lines like “You left me at the house by the heath” and “I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free.” Tracks from the album leaked on Wednesday, and fans have also interpreted some songs as being about Matty Healy , the frontman of the band the 1975, whom Swift was briefly linked to last year.

The album’s title song starts with a classic Swift detail of a memento from a lost love: “You left your typewriter at my apartment/Straight from the tortured poets department.” It also name-drops Dylan Thomas, Patti Smith and, somewhat surprisingly given that company, Charlie Puth, the singer-songwriter who crooned the hook on Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again,” a No. 1 hit in 2015. (Swift has praised Wiz Khalifa and that song in the past.)

Other big moments include “Florida!!!,” featuring Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine, in which Swift declares — after seven big percussive bangs — that the state “is one hell of a drug.” Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner, the producers and songwriters who have been Swift’s primary collaborators in recent years, both worked on “Tortured Poets,” bringing their signature mix of moody, pulsating electronic tracks and delicate acoustic moments, like a bare piano on “Loml” (as in “love of my life”).

As the ninth LP Swift has released in five years, “Tortured Poets” is the latest entry in a remarkable creative streak. That includes five new studio albums and four rerecordings of her old music — each of which sailed to No. 1. When Swift played SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles in August, she spoke from the stage about her recording spurt, saying that the forced break from touring during the Covid-19 pandemic had spurred her to connect with fans by releasing more music.

“And so I decided, in order to keep that connection going,” she said , “if I couldn’t play live shows with you, I was going to make and release as many albums as humanly possible.”

That was two albums ago.

Did Joe Biden Speak to Empty Seats in Scranton? Photo of Event Goes Viral

P resident Joe Biden faced social media criticism when posts went viral Tuesday about empty seats at his campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Brigitte Gabriel and Benny Johnson, conservatives with millions of followers, were among those who published posts that mocked perceived empty seats at Biden's stop in his hometown.

"Here is the 'crowd' that showed up in Joe Biden's hometown of Scranton Pennsylvania today. Note how the Biden campaign had to put up curtains to make the room smaller. There are more reporters in the room than 'Biden supporters.' Joe Biden is not real," Johnson wrote on X, formerly Twitter , to his 2.3 million followers.

However, reports and photos shared from inside Biden's event at the Scranton Cultural Center dispute the claims.

NewsNation reporter Kellie Meyer replied on X to a post about the empty seats by saying: "Your picture was taken hours ago. It is full and people in the balcony, per our reporter inside."

Mike Memoli of NBC News posted a photo on X from the location of the alleged empty seats that show those seats clearly occupied as Biden is speaking.

Biden's stop in Scranton kicked off a multicity tour of Pennsylvania, a key swing state in the path to the 2024 presidency.

Flanked by a banner reading "Tax Fairness for All Americans," the president contrasted his plan to impose higher taxes on Americans making more than $400,000 with the promise from his Republican rival, former President Donald Trump , to preserve his 2017 corporate tax cuts.

"No billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher," Biden told a room of 200 to 300 supporters, according to reports.

"When I look at the economy, I don't look at it through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago. I look at it through the eyes of Scranton," the president said, contrasting his modest upbringing with the Florida estate where Trump lives. "Scranton values or Mar-a-Lago values. These are the competing visions for our economy that raise questions of fundamental fairness at the heart of this campaign."

During his remarks, he also took aim at Trump's tumbling Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) stock.

"If Trump's stock in Truth Social, his company, drops any lower, he might do better under my tax plan than his," Biden said.

He added that "trickle-down economics" had failed and "the truth is Donald Trump embodies that failure."

"When I look at the economy, I don't look at it through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago. I look at it through the eyes of Scranton," the president said as he contrasted his upbringing with Trump's Florida estate.

Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign Tuesday afternoon for comment.

Biden spent part of his childhood in working-class Scranton before his family moved to Delaware. He won Pennsylvania in 2020 by roughly 80,000 votes. Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton there by fewer than 45,000 votes in 2016. Polls show another close race this year.

The full crowd chanted "four more years" as Biden began and conducted his remarks on Tuesday.

"I think I should go home now. Except I am already home," the president smiled and joked to the Scranton crowd.

Biden heads to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Philadelphia on Thursday. Trump was in eastern Pennsylvania on Saturday for a campaign rally that drew thousands of supporters.

"Unlike Donald Trump, President Biden is out on the trail again, talking to voters about how he sees the economy through the eyes of Scranton, not Mar-a-lago. That's the difference in this campaign, no matter what crowd, room, or stage Joe Biden is on, he's working to build on his record-breaking economy on behalf of the American people," a spokesperson for Biden's campaign told Newsweek via email on Tuesday.

Sam DeMarco, chair of the Republican Party in Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is, told the Associated Press: "Across the board, it costs more to live today than it did when Joe Biden came to office. These are the things that families feel. And a scripted appearance by the president is not going to change that."

As Biden campaigns, Trump will spend most of the week in a New York City courtroom for his criminal trial over an alleged hush money scheme.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.

The day the mountain crumbled

Her love of the backcountry drew emily franciose to boarding school in the swiss alps. then the mountain fell apart beneath her skis – and left her parents wanting answers..

The day after their world crumbled, Sue and Reg Franciose arrived in Switzerland to search for their daughter. It had been 24 hours or so since the phone call — “There’s been an accident” — and ever since, they had been sprinting through the fog, each frantic step darkened by questions with no answers.

They knew the likely outcome but had to come see for themselves what happened on the Wellhorn, a rocky peak that towers over the Reichenbachtal valley in the Bernese Alps.

A dash through multiple airports, a race through the mountains, and now they ambled through a small mountain village. That’s when they saw him, sitting in his car on the side of the road. Sue stopped, unsure what to do.

In another life, Guido Bieri could’ve been a friend, swapping stories over wine after a long day on the mountain. He was 61, a beloved leader at the boarding school that their 18-year-old daughter, Emily, attended. He had taken her on nearly a dozen backcountry treks across the alps. Emily adored him. And Sue loved that she and Reg had someone in Switzerland to look after their daughter on the mountain.

In this life, though, Bieri was the tour guide on the previous day’s outing, one of the last people to see Emily on the mountain.

Sue tapped on the car window.

“We’re Emily’s parents,” she announced.

EMILY WAS AN ONLY CHILD. Sue and Reg met in 1998, in the Denver operating room. He was a trauma surgeon and she was a cardiovascular perfusionist running the heart-lung machine. They got married and started a family relatively late — he was 48, she was 41. Emily was the center of their universe.

They moved to Vail, Colo., and Sue quit working full-time. Reg was the longtime medical director of the Vail Ski Patrol, and both parents would haul Emily up and down the mountains whenever possible. Emily grew up in the outdoors, finding poetry in trees and beauty in the sky. Summers were spent paddling on the river and winters skiing backcountry, exploring virgin snow far from the tourists taking selfies at pricey resorts.

Sue and Reg never once hired a babysitter, instead dragging their young daughter to symphonies, black-tie fundraisers and medical conferences. They made a point to visit impoverished communities around the world, to remind Emily there was a world beyond the Rockies.

“She knew that life was bigger than just here,” Sue says of Vail, “and the world is bigger than here.”

Midway through her junior year, Emily began to feel ready for something bigger than the small private school in her small mountain town. She told her mother as much, then stayed up all night researching possibilities.

At 5 a.m. the next day, she burst into her mother’s room with her laptop.

“I found it,” she said.

“Found what?”

“The school I want to go to.”

She’d stayed up all night researching Ecole d’Humanité, a boarding school of about 120 in Hasliberg, Switzerland, where students are encouraged to explore the outdoors, including skiing the backcountry with help from experienced guides. Emily had already contacted the admissions office, inquiring about the school’s cellphone policy, among other things.

She was never one to do something halfway. When she was younger, Emily was so determined to sell the most Girl Scout cookies that she set up a booth at the base of the ski lift, hawking boxes of Samoas until she had set the troop record. Now, when her parents told her she would have to work after school and during the summer to help cover Ecole d’Humanité’s $60,000 tuition, Emily didn’t flinch.

Sue called Reg, with whom she had recently divorced.

“Are you sitting down? Emily’s going to go to Switzerland for her senior year. It is happening.”

IT WAS EASY TO SEE the school’s allure for a backcountry enthusiast. Skiing off-trail is rustic and visceral. In ski towns, kids graduate quickly from chairlifts to the backwoods, with its untouched powder and unexplored terrain. There are well known locations but no trail maps, no ski patrol or snow groomers on duty. Skiers might have to endure an uphill hike of a few hours or more for a trip down fresh snow that lasts just a few minutes. It’s exhilarating, and it’s dangerous.

For most, the adrenaline rush isn’t the point. It’s being isolated, removed from the crowd, closer to nature. That’s all Emily wanted.

“I love watching as the sky changes at dusk and am amazed by the different colors,” Emily wrote in a college application essay. “My favorite thing to do whenever I’m camping or out at night is to look at the stars, hunting for different constellations or admiring the vastness.”

More than 2.5 million Americans alone skied off-trail last year, up 30 percent from just two years prior, according to Snowsports Industries America. The spike comes with increased safety concerns and avalanche risks. In Colorado alone, there were 861 human-triggered avalanches involving 122 people and resulting in 11 deaths last year, higher than the 10-year averages (84 people caught and seven deaths). In Switzerland, 21 people were killed last season, and 222 people were swept up in avalanches.

Emily, though, had been on skis since she was 2. She had attended avalanche safety courses and traveled with a first-aid kit. She knew and embraced the risks. So when she saw that Ecole d’Humanité had a backcountry program, with ski tours at least once a week in the Swiss alps, she was sold.

She arrived in Hasliberg in August 2022, one day after turning 18.

“I say she arrived, but it was more like she burst,” Lydia Breuning says. “She burst into our lives and into our community with so much enthusiasm.”

Breuning was the manager for House Kathrin, the school chalet where Emily lived with 11 other students. She calls Emily the glue there, drawing together students from different backgrounds. She folkdanced, did pottery, learned silversmithing, started a girls’ weightlifting group and baked cookies with her calculus teacher on weekends. Laughter poured out of her room each night, and Emily was always the first one up the next morning.

“I call Emily the sun of House Kathrin. At first, it was because she just glowed, and she was just full of such brilliance and warmth,” Breuning says. “But even more than that, she had a gravitational pull — she really did pull people to her. Her room was the center of our little house.”

She roomed with Breuning’s daughter, Maia Stark. Emily shared with Maia a word — a feeling — from back home in Vail: “frothing.” It’s an adjective, unique to the ski dictionary, that captures the bursting-at-the-seams excitement Emily had on the mountain, staring down a run, with friends, in nature. It was her happy place and her baseline.

Emily and Maia had the only balcony in the house. Some nights, they would pull their mattresses out to sleep, staring at the stars and frothing, together, about what the upcoming ski season would bring.

THERE WERE NO CLASSES on March 21, 2023. Emily and Maia woke up excited about what the day held.

It was the school’s last backcountry outing of the season, and with spring break a couple of days away, the girls had a train trip to Paris scheduled. But first, a trek to the top of the Wellhorn, a jagged, monstrous rock that stretches more than 10,400 feet toward the sky.

Emily blasted some bouncy reggae as the girls triple-checked their gear, which included a shovel, a probe and a transponder in case of an avalanche. Then seven students, three guests and two group leaders loaded into two vehicles.

They were led, as always, by Guido Bieri, a longtime school employee who was in charge of the outdoors program, and Lukas Iten, a veteran area tour guide. Iten and Bieri mapped out the excursion and, sometime around 10:30 a.m., the group began the trek up. Bieri and Iten did not respond to messages, and a defense lawyer declined to comment. Their accounts of the accident, as well as those of the surviving students, are included in an avalanche investigative report and police interview transcripts reviewed by The Washington Post. The Post also reviewed video of the day’s trip filmed by the skiers, including of the avalanche.

The climb winded through forest and took nearly four hours, parts on foot and parts on skis. The sun’s rays poked through the trees, illuminating their path. The temperature hit 48 degrees, warm enough that Emily stripped down to a T-shirt for stretches — a special Vail Ski Patrol shirt that belonged to her dad and that the two playfully stole back and forth.

Iten, 53, had been leading tours at the school for nearly two decades. He had made this particular trek a dozen or so times, by his own estimate, and had checked the avalanche bulletin the night before, taking note of the high-elevation dangers and concerns about the snow. On the ascent, he encouraged the students to walk 10 or so yards apart. He occasionally stomped to make sure the ground was steady and once even drove a ski pole into the snow to test its stability.

“I felt that the conditions were very good and did not notice any signs of a critical weakness at all,” he later told investigators.

Emily’s left knee started bothering her. She had undergone surgery a couple of years earlier, and the hike was taxing. She found a place at the base of the hill to rest as her classmates continued to the top. They skied down on the fresh snow shortly after 2 p.m. and agreed to return to the top to squeeze in a second run. Emily was feeling better, so she stepped into her skis to make the climb.

The group reached the base of the rocky peak around 3:45 p.m. Emily teased a classmate named Eli and shared her Toblerone with another boy, Louis, who had already emptied his snack pack.

Iten discussed the descent. They wouldn’t follow the same route that they had just taken. Instead, he directed, he would ski down first and the others should keep to the right of his tracks.

Iten reached the bottom, followed by two others. He wore a GoPro camera so he could review the footage and discuss technique with the younger skiers. The rest followed one by one, 30 or so seconds apart, leaving some distance between skiers.

Next up was Maia, followed by Emily, a British student named Archie Harvey and a French girl named Valentine Reynaud. They were all seniors, on the cusp of adulthood, making plans and swapping dreams that had no limits. (The students and their families either couldn’t be reached or didn’t respond to messages seeking comment.)

MAIA WAS NEAR THE BOTTOM when the ground started to crumble, but the three others were higher up. As massive and powerful as an avalanche can be, it must be summoned to life. The slightest pressure in the wrong patch of snow can set off a chain reaction felt across the mountain, which is why there are detailed and sacrosanct safety guidelines that tour guides must follow.

The mountain was covered by several layers of snow , each snowfall adding another coat. The layers are all different, formed by wind, moisture and weather conditions.

Some crystals bond together tightly, creating a compact sheet of snow

While others are much looser , resulting in a fluffier blanket.

When one of these layers is compromised below the surface , a fracture can spread across the mountain and, particularly on steeper slopes, frozen sheets of snow can start cascading en masse — a slab avalanche.

On the Wellhorn, the string of skiers had upset the ground beneath them. A crack formed near the top of the hill, where Valentine had begun making her way down. She froze.

“I couldn’t do anything but watch,” she said later.

The snow around her broke into pieces, a shattered puzzle, and started sliding. Valentine was in the clear, but Archie and Emily were in a more precarious stretch. Soon the slope was in a free fall.

“The whole mountain was in motion,” another student said later.

It wasn’t like a movie; the snow wasn’t a giant wave crashing down from overhead. It was more like a gushing stampede more than three football fields wide, growing in size and speed as it barreled toward the valley.

Maia was safely coming to a stop at the bottom of the slope when she turned and watched the side of the mountain slide. She thought back to a video she and Emily had watched online, a snow rabbit hurriedly jumping its way through an avalanche, safely reaching a still part of a mountain.

High up the slope, Archie and Emily were getting chased by snow. Iten saw it all, helplessly bellowing, “Oh, God!” Bieri was up above, where all he could see was a cloud of white dust.

“At first I thought that the whole group had disappeared,” he said.

Archie managed to remain upright on his skis briefly, skidding across the slabs of snow like a wakeboarder before vanishing into a cloud of snow.

About 25 yards below, Emily seemed to realize something was amiss as the ground broke apart. Her scream echoed across the valley. She stopped just short of a jump on the mountain, where she was pummeled by a wall of snow, a frozen freight train that carried her over a 600-foot cliff.

When the snow settled at the base of the mountain, the alps were eerily quiet, save the sobbing from the surviving classmates who had collapsed into each other’s arms.

Rescue crews raced to the mountain. There was a signal coming from Archie’s transponder, but it took time for crews to reach him. When he was found more than an hour later, he was buried under six feet of snow, pronounced dead at the scene.

There was no signal from Emily’s transponder, suggesting it was buried too deep. Nearby they found her backpack, one ski and a pole. They kept searching the mountainside until it became too dark to see.

WITH ONE STUDENT DEAD and another missing, police investigators called in avalanche experts immediately. The Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research arrived the next day to find out what went wrong.

By that point, police had already interviewed the tour guides and the surviving students. Many students mentioned how close they were with Bieri, whose wife also worked at the school. “I mean, Emily adored this man,” Sue says.

Bieri estimated he had planned more than 100 outdoor excursions for the school over the previous decade. Bieri’s son, a former student at Ecole d’Humanité, was also on the tour that day.

“I trust Guido and Lukas completely,” one student told police.

“They were role models for me,” said another. “We had a very good relationship over the last three years because I loved outdoor sports so much. Definitely for me, but also for other people, we were very close.”

“I trust [Lukas] completely,” reported a third, “with my life.”

Iten was a student himself at Ecole d’Humanité more than a quarter-century ago. He had been a licensed mountain guide since 2000 and had been running tours for the school since 2004 — climbing excursions in the spring and fall, skiing in the winter.

“I’m quite attached to the school,” he told investigators.

On the day of the trek, the area near Wellhorn’s peak, called the Gstelliwang, had a moderate avalanche warning, which meant there was an elevated risk, particularly on very steep slopes. Skiers were advised to choose their routes carefully, ski down one at a time and avoid steep areas.

The bulletin warned there could be weak, older layers of snow, and Emily and her classmates knew what that meant. They had just had an avalanche safety course a couple of weeks earlier.

Iten told police that he had asked the students if anyone wanted to do a second run. They all agreed, and Iten proposed the new route down the hill.

This, investigators determined, was likely a costly mistake. The new route placed the skiers on a slope that was 40 degrees steep in parts — far too steep for the conditions. Because of its proximity to the cliff, it also made any potential rescue attempt impossible. Investigators said Iten’s stomping and driving a pole into the snow had been insufficient tests to assess the avalanche risk.

The report found that skiing “on steep, exposed slopes is difficult for us to understand given the generally good leadership.” And while the report did not cite a specific cause, the presence of four skiers at different parts of the slope was probably too much pressure on a fragile layer of snow.

“The avalanche was triggered by chance certainly,” the report stated. “A person had to [ski] into an area where the weak layer was particularly weak and not heavily covered.”

In short, if they had just skied the same initial route, the avalanche probably could have been avoided. The avalanche investigators concluded that the tour guides bore some level of responsibility. Bieri and Iten are now being formally investigated for negligent homicide, according to Swiss court records. Police and the public prosecutor in the canton of Bern declined to comment, citing Swiss privacy laws.

“This was not an accident,” Sue says. “These were poor choices.”

THE DAY AFTER SUE AND REG ARRIVED , they went up in a helicopter to help with the search for Emily. Reg had worked with the ski patrol in Vail for two decades. He knew there were two ways to die in an avalanche: buried by snow resulting in suffocation, or blunt force trauma. When he saw the huge cliff, he knew.

“She was dead in seconds,” he says.

With a background in medicine and an expertise in backcountry skiing, Emily’s parents had, like her, a deep appreciation for the dangers on the mountain. Sue especially carried a nagging fear. She had given her daughter a keychain, in fact, that said, “Don’t do stupid s---.”

“Every time she’d send me pictures from one of the trips, I’d be like, ‘Oh, thank God, another day is gone,’ ” Sue says.

It was pure happenstance that they spotted Bieri parked not far from the school. Sue was stunned — and conflicted. She knew how much her daughter cared for him, but she also knew Bieri was ostensibly in charge of the tragic backcountry outing. Part of her wanted to summon every morsel of the pain and grief that had suddenly consumed her and hurl it at Bieri with all the force she could muster. Instead, she just introduced herself.

Inside the car, Bieri didn’t say a word. Sue and Reg saw the veteran guide speak briefly at an impromptu memorial one day earlier at the school, where Bieri broke down. “I miss you, Emily,” he had said through tears.

Sue asked him to step out of the car and offered a hug, as did Reg. Bieri was an empty shell — “a shattered, broken man,” Reg would recall later.

“Emily loved you,” Sue told Bieri.

“I loved her so much,” she recalls him responding.

Reg and Sue packed up their daughter’s room and returned to Colorado to settle into their nightmare. The updates from Switzerland were slow. In early June, crews found the other pole. And then the other ski.

That month, Reg was involved in a terrible car crash. He was in an intensive care unit when the phone rang. It was Father’s Day.

The snow had melted in Switzerland. Part of Emily’s body had been found in shallow water. She had been buried under 50 feet of snow, and her body had been wedged between some rocks in a streambed about three-quarters of a mile from the accident, not far from where Archie’s body also had settled.

The avalanche was so powerful and the surge so strong that her body was not intact. A local fisherman would find the rest of Emily three months later, more than two miles downstream.

Sue flew back to Switzerland to retrieve her daughter’s remains. Investigators had to use DNA testing to positively identify Emily. At the crematorium, Sue held her daughter’s hand and painted her fingernails one final time, picking a glittery purple nail polish that she thought Emily would have loved.

EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE came to Emily’s memorial service, filling the auditorium, plus two overflow areas, at Vail Mountain School. Her high school teachers recalled special gifts Emily brought them: a playful coffee mug for the biology instructor, a llama piñata for an English teacher. Friends recalled stargazing from water towers and cracked jokes about Emily’s car, which she had playfully dubbed “Shelly the S---box.” They agreed she was an old soul — or, as one cousin put it, someone who seemed to “belong wherever she went.”

They lauded Emily’s unique style and relentless positivity, too. How she was always “frothed with stoke.”

“Whatever magic and witchcraft you performed, we’d have the greatest of times,” one friend recalled. “Enemies would become friends. Two groups who couldn’t stand each other before were now sitting on the same couch laughing uncontrollably at some stupid joke.”

Friends from Switzerland made the trip and told the crowd how much Emily had impacted their lives. And then Reg and Sue stepped toward a microphone. They were still in the fog, the second act of a horrific tragedy.

“She was my life,” Sue said. “She completed my world.”

As an only child, Emily had formed tight relationships with both of her parents. Reg recalls long walks with his daughter during the pandemic, telling her: “Look, Emily, I know how to do a lot of stuff, but I have zero skill set for raising a teenage girl. So we’re going to have to fumble our way through this together.” They jokingly called Reg’s style “experiments in poor parenting.”

At the memorial service, Reg mentioned that when they packed up Emily’s room back in Hasliberg, he couldn’t find his old ski patrol shirt. When he studied photos of Emily from that last day on the mountain, sure enough, he spotted it.

He turned to the projector screen and found his daughter’s face smiling back. “I want my T-shirt back,” he sobbed.

A YEAR HAS PASSED NOW. Ecole d’Humanité canceled its backcountry program this year. Iten and Bieri have been summoned for questioning at a May 31 hearing, court records show. There is no making sense of the tragedy for the Franciose family, no recourse that might somehow balance the scale. Under the Swiss legal system, if convicted, Bieri and Iten could face up to three years in prison for what is technically a misdemeanor charge.

“For two kids? I don’t think that’s fair,” Sue says.

The Franciose family could recoup $30,000 or so in a civil judgment, but the Swiss system doesn’t allow for punitive damages, so they’ll never see money that even covers their costs associated with Emily’s death. They recently received a $5,000 bill for the cost of a search-and-rescue helicopter.

Ecole d’Humanité has maintained to the family that the school is not liable for the accident, and it is not a party in the criminal proceedings. Administrators from the school declined to be interviewed. “For the past year we have been grieving this loss and our hearts continue to go out to the families affected,” the school said in a statement.

The family is left only with grief. The memories that shadow Sue through each day provide some comfort but mostly sadness. Reg has stopped taking on-call shifts with the emergency room in Vail. “I don’t have any empathy left,” he says.

They had spent much of their professional lives around pain, trauma and death. The physiology of the human body and the fragility of human life are not foreign to them. But that doesn’t make the emotional toll any lighter.

“I’m German and Irish,” Sue says. “I should be pissed and angry. I’ve never been angry. I’m just confused, broken, really sad.”

“Oh, I’m the opposite,” Reg says. “I have raging anger.”

“Just feel so lost and so empty,” Sue says. “Like, what do I do now? Because I'm just really very confused.”

“Most people don’t understand,” Reg offers. “Thank God, most people don’t understand.”

For Sue, the best part of each day is when she wakes up and there are 20 or 30 seconds where she’s still in a sleep fog.

“I just have this serene, peaceful feeling,” she says. “And then it’s like: ‘Oh, s---. Yeah, that happened. Oh, God, how am I going to get out of bed today?’ ”

Emily’s Hut

Emily’s Vail bedroom is largely untouched, save for the urn on the bed and the picture-filled poster boards from her memorial service. Sue has her daughter’s photos on display throughout the house, each stirring a different memory. From the hospital when Emily was born, a school recital, a family trip to Guatemala, Emily’s 16th birthday, a carousel ride, a father-daughter dance, the beach, the river.

In many, Emily is wearing skis, a parka and an ear-to-ear smile, colorful snapshots that place her forever on the mountain, forever surrounded by snow and trees and blue sky.

“No matter what time of day it is, the sky always changes,” Emily once wrote, “and is never the same or predictable. I love how, even though we’re all under the same sky, it looks different for everyone. It reminds me that even though we are all unique, we can find something to connect over.”
