Ending a sold-out set at NY’s Terminal 5 last night Refused singer Dennis Lyxsen declared the band wouldn’t be gotten by boredom tonite. Less than an hour later we got word through the grape vine the band would be playing a one off secret gig at the Archeron space in Bushwick. 20 Minutes later the word was out, the line was around the block and this is what went down.
Video after the jump. Special thanks to Rich Hall and 1000 Knives productions!
Our friends Unstoppable Death Machines just did a music video release for their epic jam Space Time Continuum at Present Co. in Brooklyn at the end of January. When it got to the end of the set people went apeshit all over the band’s art installation and basically wrecked the place.
Watch the whole clip to witness the havoc the band and their fans let loose on this unsuspecting art gallery.
The Dwarves will be continuing taking their European rampage through Finland, Sweden, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Itally.
Following on the heels of their recent UK dates, the band will be hitting the mainland at the end of November thru December.

After their sold-out Bowery Ballroom show with Alexisonfire and La Dispute, Trash Talk hopped the bridge to Brooklyn to throw down a secret show with Cerebral Ballzy for our friends 1000 Knives and music blog Brooklyn Vegan. Here is Trash Talk laying down some straight up thrash at Archeron on Waterbury St. in Bushwick. We may post some more footage next week.

This past Thursday fashion designer Robert James held an in-store party/BBQ at his Orchard St. flagship store to announce the winners of the By Robert James photo contest. There was free beer, free burgers and some majorly good vibes. First prize was a Nikkon SLR digital camera, second prize was a $400 By Robert James gift certificate. Our boy Miguel took home 2nd place (see the photo below). He immediately spent that shit on a Jacket. Stoke!

Here’s a look at the Kick-Ass x Vans Movie collabo sneakers. This new yellow and green canvas colorway of the classic Vans Era is inspired by the costume of the main character in the new Kick-Ass movie (based on the Marvel Icon comic book). Kick-Ass stars McLovin from Superbad and that one dude from Ghost Rider and Valley Girl. *plug* *plug*
Vans hooked us up with a pair of these and we are clearly not immune to bribery.
Also, for some reason Chris from TSS is completely obsessed with this movie. More pics after the crump…
UPDATE
So it looks like Vans only made 100 Pairs of these and they will not be available in stores. So, no. You can’t have them. Stop asking.
New from Clairvoyant Sunglasses a follow up to their initial, highly successful collaboration with denim designers Cheap Monday.

We were shocked and saddened by the news of Alexander McQueen’s death. In addition to the current S/S 2010 line from his eponymous Alexander McQueen label mens and womens’ lines, there has been one final collection designed by McQueen for his McQ mens line. Heavily influenced by 60s and 80s skinhead/suedehead culture and featuring designs in striking yellow broadcloath and acidwashed denim, as well as slim tailored suits, this collection represents a designer clearly at the top of his game and may be the last gasp of fashion’s greatest rockstar, and one of the great design minds of the early 21st century.
Mods n’ Skins are back? They never left.
