_Here’s an exclusive sneak peak of our Winter 2012 Campaign Photo Shoot. We got the boys from Bones Bones Bones (formerly Bridgemary Kiss) to work in front of the camera for us. The day was one giant jam session where the lads just hung out, cranked up the amps and belted out for all the neighbors to hear. There was a plenty of stubbies floatin’ around, with heaps of guitars, old records, and music equipment all mixed in together. The Winter 2012 collection will be hitting stores in March, but if you can’t wait till then here’s some images to keep you going…

_Some Dylan inspiration shots…

_Loving the graphic design of Newcastle native, Heath Killen at the moment. He redesigns classic movie posters with a new modern updated approach. Check out his work at madebyhk.com

_The 60’s and 70’s was an epic time for Rock n Roll music and the Rolling Stones were leading the charge touring practically every city on the planet. Finding photos of these guys are always inspiring because they give you glimpse of their craft, their concert tours, their personality and the way they have fun doing it for so long. These are the type of images that gets our inspiration going when we’re designing accessories. Whether it’s designing an Exile on Main Street belt, a Album cover trick wallet, or a harmonica necklace we’ve got these photos as screen savers & the Stones pumpin’ in the background.

_A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN I WAS STILL LIVING IN MONTREAL, A FRIEND OF MINE MENTIONED THAT I HAD TO CHECK OUT THIS NEW BLOG THAT JUST CAME OUT AT THE TIME. LA BLOGOTHEQUE (WWW.BLOGOTHEQUE.NET) IS A WEBLOG THAT CONTAINS A PLETHORA OF ARCHIVED VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOT BY FRENCH FILMMAKER VINCENT MOON. THE VIDEOS ARE VERY WELL CRAFTED AND PRODUCED WHICH MAKES THEM MORE THAN A SAVVY TAKE ON AN ACOUSTIC. THE ARCHIVE OF VIDEOS NEVER ENDS AND YOU CAN EASILY SPEND HOURS CHECKING OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF YOUR FAVOURITE BANDS. PARTICULARLY, A SERIES CALLED “SOIREE DE POCHE” (WHICH MEANS NIGHTS IN YOUR POCKET) & “CONCERTS A EMPORTER” OR TAKE AWAY SHOWS ARE ONES TO WATCH AS THE TWO SERIES COMBINE FOR OVER 350 VIDEOS OF BANDS. SOMETIMES SHOT IN A MATE’S LIVING ROOM SOMETIME SHOT IN A SUBWAY STATION EACH VIDEO IS UNIQUE NOT ONLY IN ITS SETTING BUT ALSO UNIQUE TO THE BAND ITSELF. SOME OF MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITES ARE MONTREAL ORIGINALS BEIRUT.

_IF YOU ARE LIKE ME YOU PROBABLY THINK THAT ALL PROTESTERS LOOK LIKE MIDDLE AGED ORGANIC FOOD EATING HIPPIES GATHERING TOGETHER TO WAVE THEIR DIY DUCK TAPED SIGNS AND YELL AT POLICE OFFICERS THAT HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE PROTESTING ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WELL YOU’D BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME OF THE CHICKS THAT SHOWED UP TO DEMONSTRATE AT THE #OCCUPYWALLSTREET MOVEMENT THAT’S STILL GOING ON. THERE’S EVEN A TUMBLR ABOUT IT.
