Austin and Republic brass VMA party
LAST EXIT TO BROOKLYN: Republic's Artist to Watch moonman-winner Austin Mahone cozies up to label brass and management folk at the label's VMA soiree. Shortly after this shot was taken, a UMPG Security Guard emerged from a giant teddy bear with an enormous foam joint, and the party really got started. Seen collectively telling us to shut the fuck up are (l-r) Chase Entertainment's Michael Blumstein, UMG East Coast Label Group Chairman/CEO Barry Weiss, Mahone, Republic EVP Charlie Walk, Chase's Rocco Valdes, Republic President/COO Avery Lipman, Chairman/CEO Monte Lipman, SVP Promotion and Operations Gary Spangler and Chase's David Abraham.
