This Friday, April 2nd is the opening party for a new art show featuring the work of Gareth Stehr. Behold The Black Light will be somewhat of an antiexhibit backed by the zounds of Green & Wood and others. Regardless of your affinity for stoner doom rock, you’ll want to attend.

Texas Death Match 2010 With Fowler & Johnson

March 23, 2010

SXSW is out, TDM is in. Ethan Fowler’s musical project Green & Wood was one of many great bands to provide the epic accompaniment to the Converse X Thrasher Texas Death Match 2010 skate jam. Witness the nauseating effects of heat combined with moonshine and skating on what appears to be a near-perfect mini. Converse doesn’t mess around when they provide the aggro apparatus. Head over to ThrasherMagazine.com for more coverage.

The Skateboard Mag: Product Geek Approved

March 16, 2010

We all know that TSM is a legit mag. They do it right, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that they Geek’d out on the new Broadcast Wheel Company line. A biggy thanks goes out to the fine folks at The Skateboard Mag for noticing a little brand like Broadcast.

“There’s a new wheel company on the block called Broadcast, and the wheels and team are both looking good. Heavy-hitting pros like Ethan Fowler, Gareth Stehr, Paul Shier, Danny Falla, and Shiloh Greathouse are nothing to be taken lightly. And as far as the urethane goes, Broadcast has all sorts of shapes and sizes and some sweet colors to boot. Try ‘em out when you get the chance.” – The Skateboard Mag.  Go to your local skate shop, pick up a copy of Issue 73 and enjoy.

Two Good Art Shows, One Night: Pray You’re in L.A.

February 19, 2010
Hopefully you’ll be in the Los Angeles area tomorrow night to catch the eclipse of two really rad art shows. You don’t need to be an art snob to enjoy the work that will be hanging on the walls at New Image Art Gallery for the 2THEWALL group exhibit, and Clint Peterson is certainly gaining a foothold in the art world while still remaining one of the most hard working skaters in the biz. Click the flyer image for details on time and location of these two exhibits.
