"With front lady Woodgate singing and on bass, Lautaro Vera on guitar, Mauricio Muñoz rocking the drums and Ismael Palma pouring over the
keyboard, Intimate Stranger is a complete and talented team ready to intoxicate any listener. Somewhere between the rock and female vocals of the
Kills and the inviting voice of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Intimate Stranger tends to break barriers when it comes to labeling them with a genre."

Paula's Texas Spirits is the proud producer of two liqueurs
handmade in Austin, Texas: Paula's Texas Orange and Paula's Texas Lemon. With a distinct zesty citrus flavor, these liqueurs stand on their own as a
tasty sipping drink or combine with many liquors to make delicious cocktails. Paula's Texas Orange is an 80-proof orange liqueur great for mixing in
Margaritas, Cosmos, Mimosas, and Sangria and is a favorite with mixologists for hand-crafted, natural-flavored cocktails. Handmade (along with
Paula's Texas Lemon) in Austin, Texas. Paula's Texas Orange celebrates its fifth anniversary this spring.
