LIFE & DEATH IN BLACK & WHITE
June 26th, 2012 by SofiThe upcoming ‘Life & Death in Black & White’ Exhibition based in Cleveland, Ohio (Nov 12th) will feature a collective of over 20 artists from around the globe (including our UK friends Scott Move & Jimbob Isaac). All pieces will focus on, and be inspired by ‘Life & Death’…an interesting concept, and we’re excited to see the show…anyone wanna buy us flights to Ohio?
“Life & Death in Black & White” is a collection of today’s finest graphic illustrators, album cover artists, comic artists, tattoo artists, etc depicting their view of life and death . L/D in B/W means to showcase the time, detail, dedication and imagination put forth by these national and local artists and bring them and the art of illustration the full credit and appreciation that it has always rightly deserved”.
You can see the full line up or artists, and find out more about the show here.

ATPIBYM CURATED BY ATP & MOGWAI
June 15th, 2012 by Sofi
Once again, another absolute blinder from the All Tomorrows Parties family with this years ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’, curated by ATP & Mogwai. Still my favourite festival, mainly because this lot really know what they’re doing. Each and every ATP event is fucking awesome, and I’m still yet to have a shitty time at one (pretty sure this will never happen).
Friday saw Slayer headline, performing ‘Reign in Blood’ in it’s entirety, with support from Melvins, Sleep, Wolves in the Throne Room, YOB and A Storm of Light. As predicted the crowd were in good spirits…I got stamped on, Emma got smacked in the mouth and bit her tongue….it’s safe to say Slayer “slayed”. Sleep were probably a personal highlight for me, with the epic ‘Dragonaut’ sounding so perfect in the almighty palace that is Alexander.
Saturday we arrived too late (we were in pain from the night before), but we caught Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat (who reduced me to tears), Dirty Three (with an astounding 10/10 show), and Mogwai who blew me away with their massive sound…’Hunted by a Freak’ christ, that track’s so beautiful. I don’t think I’d seen Mogwai for many, many years before this weekend & the last time I did I probably didn’t fully appreciate. Their set was an unexpected treat for me.
Sunday we were fully geared up to check ‘Demdike Stare’ but we got fucked over by Sunday transport and only caught 1 track at the end of their set. Super bummed…this pair are dark, and I was so intrigued. I’ve since checked them out a bit, which makes me even annoyed for missing. Sunday’s highlight has to be chatting to Louis Theroux in a Q&A, and as the clock donged 00.01 it was my Birthday – ATPIBYM was the perfect weekend.
Thankyou to Deborah, Barry and all the ATP crew.
