LUUK

We just got a bunch of super cool tees from Australian label Luuk. Each T is hand screenprinted by the designer / illustrator himself. The detail of these tees is crazy. Havent had time to take our snaps of them or put them on the online store but will do so very soon. In the meantime check his website or pop in and have a look in the flesh. You wont find these any where else in Auckland.

KANDY KANE KID

Kandy Kane Kid playing live again this Saturday at Kujha Lounge at 10:30pm. I have seen this guy play live about 3 times now and I must say he is getting better and better. His lyrics are some what witty, with a touch of filth and very catchy. Having recently teamed up with local not known yet producer 'boy dead' these guys definitely are an act to watch out for. You can peep his music here or become a fan on his facebook here. This is from an old demo called 'I Sleep Too Much' which I was fortunate enough to do the artwork for. Hope to see you there.
ps the picture kind of looks like him...
