"   Photo: Aliya Naumoff  Ilirjana Alushaj might just be the busiest girl in music. When the Brooklynite (by way of Australia and Montenegro) isn&amp;#039;t running The Pop Manifesto, her music label and digital magazine, she&amp;#039;s playing her own music, in three bands! Alushaj is part of Typical Girls, Apache Beat and Girl Crisis and she just launched a party called Live FromTribeca. Every Saturday night, alongside Dossier Journal, she&amp;#039;ll curate a performance by an up-and-coming band (at last week&amp;#039;s premiere it was Friends) and DJs (Greatest Hits, Jane) at the Tribeca Grand hotel. We caught up with Ilirjana to get the latest details.. ELLE: How did Live From Tribeca come about?IA: I learn a lot about new things coming in and I&amp;#039;m really interested in new act so I was approached by Tribeca Grand to help curate shows for the next six months. ELLE: Are you aiming for a particular vibe?IA: I&amp;#039;m not into anything specific, I have a wide taste in music. There was the band Friends that was more pop and post punk and this coming Saturday, Beige, which is more of a prog rock band; the band after that is more disco. I just like changing it up! I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s good to have a party in New York that&amp;#039;s one style. ELLE: When is your next issue of Pop Manifesto coming out?IA: January. All the stuff I do now, it&amp;#039;s finding new acts that have their own interpretation of pop. I think when people think of pop they think of Rihanna or Katy Perry, especially if you compare it to the 80s, but it changes a lot. It&amp;#039;s catchy things, cool things. We have bands like Inc., Grimes, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra as well as fashion labels like Ashish and Jacquemus. I am also really excited that there are a few artists who inspired me growing up. ELLE: Last time we talked you told me your personal style was like &amp;quot;a new wave Kim Gordon that dates a goth and lives in super8 skate videos.&amp;quot;IA: That&amp;#039;s kind of my vibe all the time, but what I like changes a lot. I&amp;#039;m really into over-sized menswear\u2014all oversize for me. Men&amp;#039;s jackets and a skinny dress underneath and not wearing the all the same color. I wanted to dress up like the Cosby kids: red turtleneck, red skirt, red shoes, but it&amp;#039;s really intense when you&amp;#039;re 5&amp;#039;10. So I like to have, like, seven colors on me. It looks like you either have no coordination or you thought about it. It&amp;#039;s a fine line, and I ride that responsibly. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
