Bad Brains Documentary Out Soon

It’s crazy to see this band still relevant and influential 30 years later.

BAD BRAINS has announced that it is in the final stages of production for its acclaimed documentary. No release date has been set yet.

The yet-untitled film was directed by Mandy Stein and Ben Logan and traces the history of the band from their formation in Washington, D.C. in 1979 to the present day. In addition to tons of footage from the band’s vault, the movie includes interviews with all four members (vocalist HR, guitarist Dr. Know, bassist Darryl Jenifer and drummer Earl Hudson) and their manager Anthony Countey, as well as testimonials from Henry Rollins, ex-Minor Threat and Fugazi vocalist Ian MacKaye, ex-Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar, ex-Cro Mags vocalist Jon Joseph and guitarist Harley Flanagan, Murphys Law guitarist Jimmy Gestapo and Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, who produced Bad Brains 2007 album Build a Nation.

In addition to giving birth to the hardcore movement with their song “Pay to Cum” and inspiring all of the aforementioned musicians in the process, the Bad Brains had a huge influence on a new breed of late ‘80 and early ’90s metal bands, including Living Colour, Faith No More, 24-7 Spyz and Fishbone. While the Bad Brains flick is currently in post-production, it will be ready for release in a Jamaican minute.

Take Notes

Fast forward to 40 sec.  The only dance move I enjoy more than the Robot is the “Club Grind”.

Skullphone

I love Skullphone’s work as I see it pop up more and more thorughout LA.  Any of you ever seen the electronic billboard he hacked into last year?

This piece is on the corner Vine and Selma (just a bit west on Selma).

Definitely would like to cross paths with this dude one day.

Thanks again to everyone that came to our show at The Roxy on Friday.  This weekend was just a cluster fuck of music.  Peep above, Mos Def and Black Thought ripping apart “Double Trouble” from the annual Roots Grammy Party.

How dope was Mos Def’s Grammy outfit?

Obey Jim Jocoy

This just went up today on the Obey site and is now another member of the Rausch Hausch.

The illustration(minus spray can) is based on a photo by my friend Jim Jocoy who did a great book of late 70’s punk photos called “We’re Desperate”. Pick the book up if you can.

I saw this book on Amazon for $3. Go cop one son.

This Is It Tribute live From Prison

We know these dudes from their “Thriller” dance years ago, and now they’re back kicking ass, and it’s totally legit led by Travis Payne.

Phenomenal.

Scoop Du Jour

Don’t forget, this Friday New Kingdom at the Roxy. Peanut butter will be slathered upon the some of the finest slices of prime rib. I definitely did not say that, maybe you should get your ears checked (and your ribs slathered with peanut butter). Dude, you’re tripping.

-New Kingdom

Drop it like you are confused and horny.

I dont know whether to puke, or to head to in-n-out.

LA Walkabout

Matthieu Young walked from Downtown LA to Venice Beach, and documented it all.  Just snapped pics of everyone he ran into.  Something like this is truly amazing to do in a city with so much cultural diversity.

Many props, this shit is dope.

Free School x Bang.Alter.

Our buddy Replay (also known as PLIIIIIIIIZZZZZZ!!) is in a 4-member band/writing team/production monster called Free School.

The collective of prolific co-writers – Jean Baptiste, Michael McHenry, Nick “Public” Marsh, and Replay (just Replay) – have quietly been writing hit songs for chart-topping, platinum-selling pop acts, including Kid Cudi (“Heart of a Lion), Kelis (her forthcoming album), Black Eyed Peas, and Good Charlotte, to name a few.

Peep they’re myspace, super dope crew.

They have a classic banger called “Give It To Me” that our other buddy MATTER and his production partner Adam Berg (together they’re Bang.Alter.) just recently remixed.  Also super dope.

Peep the remix here.

Both Replay and MATTER are two of the nicest, most genuine, and coolest people that I’ve ever come across in my life.  Support their shit!!

Love you dudes.

Vikings Get Pumped To Prince

Yes! When I found out Prince wrote a new Vikings Fight Song, I immediately dipped my hands in glue and glass and socked Evan in the face, then took him out to Tony Roma’s for the “endless slab” of baby back ribs to celebrate.

(how funny is Prince?)

Introducing: Phil Lumbang

If you’ve ever been driving through downtown l.a. you’ve definitely seen this man’s work, probably thinking it’s something done by the neighborhood kids.

Phil Lumbang rulez. I wanna just squeeze the actual shit out of one of those bears.  So cute.

No really, they are.  Props dUde.

Exit Through The Gift Shop

Exit Through The Gift shop is not the story of the most infamous graf artist on the planet, Banksy, but  “It’s the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed”.

If you’re unfamiliar with Banksy, just go to the corner of Melrose and La Brea to catch a glimpse.  His art is everywhere around the world.  A genuine innovator constantly fucking with society.

This will probably be one of the most entertaining films to watch in 2010.

Polaroid Makes a Comeback

Looks like this is going to be the next addition to the New Kingdom family.

The PIC 1000 will be available in a range of fun colors and use classic Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film to produce the brand’s classic white border instant pictures. The Polaroid Color 600 Instant Film will work with both classic and new Polaroid cameras and will be offered in packs of 10 pictures. The new classic PIC 1000 camera and instant color film will be available at national retailers in 2010.

I wonder how many pictures Noah’s gonna take of his penis.

Darth Vader vs. Daft Punk

DJ Steve Porter: Pants on the Ground

I was waiting for someone to fuck with this already.

I gotta say though, Steve Porter’s best work in my book has gotta be his Kat Williams remix. The beat alone is vicious.

Props dUde.
