Hey y’all! We just checked into our hotel in Gulf Shores, Ala., and there are sex mirrors in this room! Anyway, it looks like this weekend is going to be pretty cool. But in case you’re not here to see it in person, make sure you catch the live-stream on MySpace, with performances...
FWP’s Must-See...
posted by Kat Bein
Imagine yourself at the beach. Blue skies, nice sea breeze, salty air, scantily-clad young people. Pretty nice, right? Now, imagine someone shuts down the nearest street, surrounding beach storefronts and restaurants, slaps five stages down on that bitch and opens it up to musicians like the...
Mars-1 Paints Psychological Worlds In Space
posted by Kat Bein
It’s no secret FWP loves outer space, the future, and all things reflective of the beautiful possibilities for mankind’s tomorrow. Anything that speaks to our penchant for the wispy, intricate, colorful and extraordinary is sure to be an instant favorite. Such is the case with San Fransicsco-based painter and sculptor Mario Martinez, a.k.a. Mars-1, who got his start doing graffiti in Fresno, Ca. His work is breathtaking and inspiring, the best thing to space-travel we’ve got until Virgin Galactic becomes somewhat affordable. Whether beholding one of his exotic paintings or lifelike sculptures, the looker is transported...

Leroy Peppers is a bad, bad man. He was born in a Cadillac trunk, the by-product of a dirty one-night-stand between hip-hop and techno. His raison d’etre is simple yet so necessary; to make your ass move in ways your momma should never witness. “I just wanted to start making the kind of...

Alright, we’ll admit it. When we first saw how Coachella brought Tupac back from the dead for a special performance with Snoop, we were impressed. Actually, we were disgusted, but whatever. That’s another essay for another time. We’re not here to hate on technology (because...

Portugal. The Man is a paradoxical anomaly. Springing forth from loins of Alaska’s glacier dotted landscapes, the rock trio known for its genuine live performances stretches its musical roots into this aurora borealis of style and grace, far removed from the...

David Koma: Form And Futurism
posted by Kat Bein
You already know how we feel about the future. Namely; IT IS NOW! We’re completely obsessed, and clothing that mirrors our love of futurism with big geometry, angles and edginess always grabs our attention. Today, we’re introducing you to a young Georgian designer based out of London – David Koma. Though he’s a youngster at 25, he’s already received numerous accolades for his forward-thinking designs. In 2009, he graduated with distinction from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, winning the Harrod’s Design Award for his graduate collection. His work is consistently featured in London and Paris...

Ultra Music Festival is one of the most ridiculous music festivals one can encounter. It’s like a rite of passage for newb EDMers and Miami residents alike. I had my first raver experience there when I was still in high school, back when it was only a one day thing. Since then,...

Bear In Heaven is a dope-ass indie rock/electronic outfit from Brookyln who’ve been making music for some time, although they just landed themselves on our radar with an awesome new video for “The Reflection Of You.” The video, which features some pretty intense camera zooms,...

Daft Punk’s New Album Featuring Nile Rodgers
posted by Kat Bein
Holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Some kind of real confirmation that our favorite French robots, the best of the best in dance floor designer beats, the masters of all you know are back in the studio. I point you to this article from Houston’s Culture Map, in which Nile Rodgers, the man behind the funky sounds of 1970s disco/funk/soul outfit Chic, talks about beating cancer and getting ready for the ultimate come-back: teaming up with Daft Punk to work on their epicly long-awaited fourth album (because I guess Tron doesn’t count, even though I love that soundtrack,...
