TOKYO///SEONNA HONG’S “VISCERY LOVES COMPANY” AT KAIKAI KIKI…

May 10th, 2008

Takashi Murakami with protogé Seonna Hong and his 24/7 personal recorder…

LA-based painter and longtime Supertouch buddy (and Emmy-award winning artist) SEONNA HONG debuted her first solo show of new paintings with TAKASHI MURAKAMI’s new KAIKAI KIKI GALLERY last week when “Viscery Loves Company” opened to a throng of avid supporters including Supertouch’s own AMANDA FAIREY, better known as the superior half of Shepard Fairey. Out in Tokyo for just 24 hours of revelry, Amanda managed to cap the nite off with a early-morning round of Ms. Hong and “MC Murakami” before hopping back on the jet to get back to work in LA cracking the whip over Shepard’s lazy ass at Studio One.

TEXAS///MUSIC///LOST AT THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS FESTIVAL

Just got back from a very long, lost weekend in Austin at LANCE ARMSTRONG’s epic (and ridiculously underrated) AUSTIN CITY LIMITS FESTIVAL, where 40,000+ revelers gathered for three days of incredible music, beer, and BBQ. With a lineup featuring over 140 bands including ROBERT PLANT & ALISON KRAUSS, BECK, FOO FIGHTERS, THE BLACK KEYS, NERD, THE MARS VOLTA, SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS, NEKO CASE, MGMT, HOT CHIP, and CSS, performing on multiple stages, the sun-drenched sonic rendezvous was only enhanced by the unparalleled coolness of the mostly Austinite crowd that still appreciates rock ‘n’ roll on a level rarely seen outside of Europe.
