Hey ho lets go....

Happy New Year to everyone. 2010 was a big year with lots of ups and downs for all, but more to be thankful for than not. We are super excited of the arrival of 2011 and are looking forward at the prospect that it brings. Though not quite sure why its already going so fast!

PATTERN MAKING @ COMUNE

COMUNE Senior Designer, Jacob McCabe spent a good amount of time putting together this pattern for a new trouser fit.  Not many brands, or designers, have the sewing and pattern making knowledge to do this in-house, and we are very fortunate that Jacob does.  It allows us to fine tune and perfect our specs specifically to what we envision, giving more attention to all areas of fit.

COMUИE’S BLKHLZINVZFS PREMIERE PARTY RECAP VIDEO

Recap video for COMUИE's BLKHLZINVZFS premiere party 10.23.2010 from Corey Smith on Vimeo.

On October 23rd COMUNE unveiled their first snowboard video project “Black Holes and Invisible Forces Bending Time Through Particle Deformations Creating Infinite Freedom in the Garden on The Moon” at their headquarters in Costa Mesa, CA. Under a full moon, the packed house witnessed seven edits of the experimental film while live music from Gypsy Death Star, C-TOWN and The Perfect Gentleman filled the night air.

The idea behind the film was to focus on showcasing snowboarding and snowboard filmmaking as a raw, creative art form giving all involved the creative freedom to translate a collection of footage through their own interpretation. Multiple viewing stations were set up for the guests to throw on a pair of headphones and watch each individual edit of the movie featuring COMUИE snow team, aggregates and associates. Contributing artists towards the project included: Corey Smith, Liz Davis, Ryan Scardigli, Hunter Longe, Matt Porter, Kevin Castanheria, Mark Wiitanen and Shelby Menzel.

CROCODILES @ ROUGH TRADE RECORDS EAST LONDON

Crocodiles have arrived in the UK to promote their new album 'Sleep Forever'. Fresh from playing live on BBC Radio 6 music, they are starting wednesday 13th October with an in store gig @ Rough Trade records, truman brewery, shoreditch, East London.
Cracking second Crocodiles album on Fat Possum. The debut album 'Summer Of Hate' caught the ear of one James Ford - Simian Mobile Disco man and producer of Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons and Florence and the Machine amongst others. James and the band went into the desert in early 2010 to create 'Summer Of Hate's psychedelic, hypnotic and anthemic follow-up. An album that would later be christened, somewhat fittingly: 'Sleep Forever'. Raw it may be, but 'Sleep Forever' is still an unmistakably more refined beast than its predecessor. Drums and organ whirls envelope you on tracks like 'Mirrors' and 'Sleep Forever', which nod to 'Ladies and Gentlemen' era spiritualized as much as they do Neu! and the Velvet Underground. Crocodiles then move on to play @ Corsica Studios, London on thursday 14th October.
Buy the new Crocodiles album 'Sleep Forever' now. And you can also purchase the limited edition COMUNE X Crocodiles Drop City collaboration t shirt at all good independent boutiques stores.
