White Noise Band Profiles & Mooosic

Hey guys as you know I do a bit of writing for White Noise magazine. These are two more music profiles I have written on groovy up and coming bands you all should have a listen to!

Summer Camp

Want to say a hello to Summer Camp who are now following me on twitter which I did fan girl over for a good 10 minutes.

Peace

Really glad I got to write about such an amazing Brummy band, as I look forward to their advances ahead. Peace!

I've really gotten into Grimes at the moment, her videos are so strange and alluring which is obviously their intent but they do so without being pretentious, as shes actually good. You can tell she is influenced by Japan so her solace trip there should make for interesting creations!

I can always trust Nylon to tell me about new bands I need to know, like now. Oh Nylon, how I love you. Please adopt me!

Readers............ meet Beach Fossils.

"hello nylon tv, we're beach fossils."

style crush on Cole Smith, he and I have the same memory of Sex Pistol record discoveries.

Viktor Vauthier

My new favourite Photographer Viktor Vauthier shoots Lazy Oafs SS11 Look Book and the incredible hipster bible Urban Outfitters magazine! Vauthier documents the style of today so we can look back in 20 or so years times and wonder why denim made such a come back and perhaps tusk at the fact we never brush our hair. Or that boys looks like girls, and girls resemble pixies rather than tomboys of the 90s.

Here are a few of my favourites Vauthier shot for UO Mag pulled from the UO site. Let these be your muses as to where to go from here in terms of street style. I'm uncovering the gem that is the UO Community, enjoy!


Vauthier uses old cameras from Olymus to Contax but all with a 35mm lens, sorry Picnik, these textures are the real deal. Dammit.

Creepers. Quite possibly the only shoe I'd buy tickets to watch burn. Now in leopard print.

Not being funny but I feel like going Greenpeace on Marlees ass. He actually stabbed that fish there and then, yeah we did it in the cave days but I can't help but think POOR FISH ):

So what do you think? Is it style? I think its controversial style, hold up! I say controversial because it's a mixture of all that was controversial because I see skater, androgyny with a pinch of mod, all references recognised as being controversial, rebelling against conformity. It's a mixture - thats the only way I can put my finger on it at the moment. It's a play off the SS10 denim, which personally I thought was dead, and the rucksack trend I remember topshop exploited so well, we're talking £40 per teeny tiny bag. Its good to see that styles are not being screwed up into the evolution bin never to be seen again, they're being recycled. Go recycling!
