YACHT (DFA/USA)

Fresh off the release of their acclaimed new album, See Mystery Lights, (DFA) we are excited to let you know that YACHT will return to Australian this December. Just announced for the Meredith Music Festival, the avant-pop duo will also bring their anthemic power jams to shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane for your dancing pleasure.

After releasing three albums of original music, touring worldwide and countless remixes, Jona Bechtolt, has taken his "life project" to new level. Last year YACHT (Young Americans Challenging High Technology) reincarnated as a duo, with Bechtolt joined by new full-time member Claire L. Evans. After they recorded a tongue-in-cheek "love letter" to LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy in the form of the track ‘Summer Song’, Murphy signed the pair to DFA Records.

See Mystery Lights is an idiosyncratic record, loaded with hedonistic dance explosives designed to take aim at your shoulders. Watch them shake! Adventurous and mega pop, the album has well and truly elevated YACHT to the next level - spiritually and otherwise.
Over the past 2 years YACHT played more than 200 shows in 17 countries around the world touring with such luminaries as Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend and Architecture in Helsinki. Don’t miss your very own live YACHT experience this summer. Expect power point presentations, the destruction of the 4th wall, and of course YACHT's signature dance moves.

"YACHT is a true renaissance man, feel his magic zap you with its lightning bolt made of awesome."
— Architecture in Helsinki

JD SAMSON (Le Tigre)

JD SAMSON is one-third of the electronic feminist punk band and performance project, Le Tigre. In 2007, MEN was begun as the DJ team of JD Samson and Johanna Fateman of the band Le Tigre. At the same time, JD became involved in another project, Hirsute, featuring Michael O'Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi formerly of the New York indie-pop group The Ballet, and artist/writer Emily Roysdon.

In 2008, MEN continued to tour as DJs, while Hirsute continued to write songs and create a live performance. Eventually, Johanna decided to take a break from the touring life, and the two projects merged to become one. MEN became a band focusing on the energy of live performance and the radical potential of dance music, with lyrics speaking to issues such as wartime economies, sexual compromise and demanding liberties. Men are currently on tour in the US with The Gossip and Peaches.

In addition, JD SAMSON played keyboards and sampler with Peaches on her "Impeach My Bush" world tour, and has DJ'ed internationally since 2001 throughout several different party scenes. JD SAMSON has also created the 2003 Calendar entitled “JD's Lesbian Calendar,” as well as “JD's Lesbian Utopia 2006,” which launched at Deitch Projects Gallery in New York City in the fall of 2005.

We are selling tickets for this $35.

Black Acid Tee

"God’s Prey was born from the outer-galactic design team of Meghan MacRae and Sean Reveron (Rockers NYC). Together they took a cosmic journey and created a brand that speaks to the celestial being in us all. They are focused on designing garments for both women and men that capture their inner energy, and on pushing the boundaries of originality by making art with clothing. That one can clearly see, already in their first collection. Vibrant designs, patterns and styles can be found in this first offering.

For their Fall/Winter season, The Night Marchers, they feature high quality cut and sew with subtle luxurious details. They use custom 40-singles t-shirt bodies to make each shirt a special piece. God’s Prey uses only the highest quality fabrics, materials and notions for all of their garments, and all their clothing is 100% made in the USA, a welcome trend that we have been seeing for a while now in the high end market.

Let’s see where the collection will end up later this year. We could see it well sitting in stores like Seven New York, next to brands such as Cassette Playa, Jeremy Scott and other more colorful high end lines, that go crazy in terms of design but will not let you down on the quality."#

Mister Lonely
Harmony Korine (Nashville, USA)

Harmony Korine writes about the process of making the film: “I was not sure I would make a film ever again. I spent many years dreaming of pigs that could walk up walls. I was living completely debased, like a tramp and a criminal. I had turned into a bastard with no home or friends. One day I started to dream of nuns. I began to imagine nuns dancing in the sky and riding bicycles in the clouds. I knew the nuns were testing their faith. On one occasion three of my teeth fell into a sandwich that I was eating. It felt like the right time to care again. I asked my brother to help me. He introduced me to a famous boxer who was good with medicine, he put my teeth back in my mouth. The nuns were testing me as well, this much I was sure of. I made this film out of the ashes of the broken nation, and it was there that I discovered that a little faith can go a long, long way.”

TRASH HUMPERS, a film by HARMONY KORINE
"A film unearthed from the buried landscape of the American nightmare, TRASH HUMPERS follows a
small group of elderly Peeping Toms through the shadows and margins of an unfamiliar world. Crudely
documented by the participants themselves, we follow the debased and shocking actions of a group of
true sociopaths the likes of which have never been seen before. Inhabiting a world of broken dreams and
beyond the limits of morality they crash against a torn and frayed America. Bordering on an ode to
vandalism,it is a new type of horror; palpable and raw."
