Hello darling! I’m Connie. At heart, I’m a writer with a deep love for poetry, British rap, and MCing. And, with a formal career in marketing, I jumped at the chance to lead the marketing for The Bag Factory and Acid Rain.

Hey guys! I’m Lys (legal name Alyssa if you’re curious). I started writing and presenting for Acid Rain before I’d ever even been to a rave. Despite my naivete, I fell fast. In love with the music, the scene, the people, all of it.
