Eye Ra Haze - St. Vitus

This month I spent every Tuesday with my artists Eye Ra Haze at St.Vitus in Brooklyn where they performed their first set of shows in NYC. The band trusted their heavy metal sounds with melodic transitions while  Natasha Singer soothed the musicians storm with her calming voice. The band turned out great numbers for any night of the week, especially a Tuesday. Log on and add them on Facebook or Twitter to find out when the perform next. Check out a live clip from the show below.

Black N Blue Bowl

Sheer Terror

Skam Dust & Tim Armstrong

Youth of Today

Every year after the amazing Black N Blue Bowl, I wonder how the team is going to top the last show. And every year they do it! This year I cant explain how much excitement filled the room. Rancid, Youth of Today, and Sheer Terror among the talent that rocked out. There were so many hardcore and punk kids enjoying  the show. If you have a love for the hardcore music scene and you cant make it out to shows on the regular I highly recommend making it to the BNB Bowl each year. They do not disappoint.

MEZ, SUB, FACT - INC.

L-R Mez, Sub, Fact

It was a reunion of sorts. I got the chance to kill two birds with one stone. At an art Gallery hosted by my high school friend and old painting accomplice, I got to link up with my old partner in crime from the INC crew. The show was at Joshua Linear Gallery and it was hosted by Tony Curanaj aka SUB and I was reunited with graffiti partner FACT aka Vincent Ficarra owner of the brand and design company Revolver New York. The show was a huge success and I look forward to Tony's next big event. The photos shown, though hard to believe are his oil paintings.

Aldo Tambellini

I interviewed an Italian artist/writer/activist for my upcoming book. It was an honor and pleasure to have some form of collaboration with the great Aldo Tambellini. Around the time of our interview he was hosting his show "Black Zero" at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York. His work is dark and deep and right up my alley. He created most of his works which consists of paintings, sculptures, lumagrams, poetry and film in the 1960's while living in the lower east side. I hope to have one hanging in my entrance way soon.
