Support Athlete Recovery Fund with The Lightning Bolts Art Show



The Lightning Bolts Art Show, presented by Nike 6.0, has aligned with the Athlete Recovery Fund for a final exhibit, tonight Dec. 10th, 8 - 10pm, kicking off an online auction with all proceeds donated to ARF to aid injured action sports athletes. Follow your favorite piece here:
www.athleterecoveryfund.com/lightningbolts

Lightning Bolts is a BMX-inspired exhibit created around the historic introduction of BMX as an Olympic sport. Nike teamed up with BMX Hall of Famer, Bob Haro, recreating his iconic number plate as a blank canvas. A select group of contemporary artists, each sharing a cultural connection to BMX, were invited to partake. Unique works from artists such as Nick Philip, Andy Jenkins, Rich Hansen, and Michael Lau debuted in Beijing, China on May 13th and have since shown in Portland, OR, and Tokyo. The final exhibit will show at the Montalban Theatre in Los Angeles, CA from Dec. 10th- Dec. 14th.

Music Event Tonight @ The Independent


Having spawned the likes of the B-52s and R.E.M., Athens, Georgia — like Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Olympia, Washington — has become one of the mythic wellsprings of American indie music. And now Pylon, one of the most influential of Athens bands finally get their due. Like many a post-punk band, four art students got together in 1978, and Pylon quickly generated buzz (Michael Stipe was an early convert) with their ferocious, catchy songs that could make a disco out of a punk club. Since its 2004 reunion, the group's classic work has been reissued on DFA Records, and they've built up a new audience of fans who just want to go turn up the "volume" and dance.
– Matt Sussman

HOLIDAY MATINEE LAUNCHES ARTIST SERIES


Mixing business with pleasure and charity...

Holiday Matinee introduces an artist series of t-shirts, debuting a new design each month. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Plant-It 2020, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to properly planting, maintaining and protecting indigenous trees worldwide. In addition to replenishing cities and forests, Plant-It 2020 provides educational workshops on forestry issues to thousands of children. Founded by the late Singer John Denver in 1992, their reforestation projects in many countries often directly help humanity by increasing crop production and fresh water availability. For more information on Plant-It 2020, visit www.plantit2020.org. Holiday Matinee’s first design is by the incredibly talented, LA- artist Ashkahn. All shirts are printed on 100% organic cotton and available in both men and women sizes.

Punkin’, The Vampire, Witchy Woman, and Little Frank are here to help you start your Halloween party early.

Hang them off of spider webs, trick-or-treat bags, or use them as costume inspiration.
Aren't they cute?!

Get Movin and Groovin with: White Lies



White Lies are three 20-year-olds - Jack Brown (drums), Charles Cave (bass), Harry McVeigh (guitar, vocals). They purvey the sort of big music U2 and The Waterboys cut their teeth on. Some of their songs hearken back to the epic anthems of Scouse-rockers Echo & The Bunnymen and Teardrop Explodes. Or maybe they're closer to those early 80s groups like Tears for Fears who took the forbidding goth rock of Joy Division and turned it into commercial, brightened-up chart pop.

Listen now.
