Heavy Sounds This Way Come

Posted in Uncategorized by undergroundengland on February 24, 2009

CAN YOU HEAR THE EXCITEMENT?

Can you? No, of course you can’t because your iPod is currently blasting the sound of evil so loud you’ll have eternal ringing from this day forth. And yeah, even your ear doctor knows it’s worth it.

The tour we’ve been waiting for since, well, our whole lives actually, is almost upon us and life probably won’t ever be this good again. So what the hell am I talking about? Only the line up that’ll make you want to quit your day job, grow a beard (and a belly) and work your vocals over post hardcore noise more accurately than Delia Smith knows her way around a boiled egg competition.

The Bronx, LA’s melodic scream merchants with support from now legendary Canadian’s F’d Up and Sheffield’s very own teen terrors Rolo Tomassi, come to Manchester on February 28th!

A full list of tour dates from this hysteria-inducing mayhem can be found below below:

26 Feb 2009 – Cockpit – Leeds

27 Feb – Garage – Glasgow

A more toned down show than Mr Gaultier but never the less very cool!
Loose fitted, monochrome, biker jackets…
The black Underground creepers were a perfect choice for the footwear of this collection.
It added that certain tough R’n R’ attitude to the moody collection.

Our winklepickers a la Gaultier!

Posted in Uncategorized by undergroundengland on February 24, 2009

Afro Wigs, Bondage Straps and the Clash flowing in your ears!
Jean-Paul Gaultier never ceases to fail when it comes to putting up a great show.
You can imagine our excitement when we were asked to provide the footwear for his menswear collection!
The combination was ideal.
Mr Gaultiers perfectly tailored suits were accentuated by our sharp winklepickers.
Our pointies also added that extra historical reference to one of the themes of the collection, that of the Mods and Punks.
Check out the whole collection on http://men.style.com/fashion/collections/F2009MEN/review/JPGMEN
Enjoy!
