Last night saw the opening of Mike Blabac's excellent photography exhibition at Maverick on Redchurch Street. Here's Mike being interviewed by newly appointed Kingpin editor Alex Irvine. The exhibition's on a for little while I think... All the info's here, go see!

We missed the bus, yeah it's too far to skate to the venue.
I've been in Copenhagen for a couple of weeks, so I know I'm a little late on this one... Plus 1 issue 13 is now available for downloading.
For this issue I had the pleasure of shooting 3 great bands: Fanfarlo,
Playdoe,
and The Wave Pictures.
The Pixies played Village Underground in Shoreditch last night, pretty surprising given the size of the space (tiny). They were actually really really good... For a few more photos check the Plus1 website.
Just got back off a little Fourstar UK tour... Here's Spike Jonze, Rick Howard and Mark Gonzales jammin in the van. Peep an upcoming Sidewalk Mag for all the rest of the goodness!
The other night I went to see Rinko Kawauchi in conversation with Martin Parr. As well as seeing some of her beautiful photographs, the talk was great too.
The event was put on by Still/Moving, a non-profit organisation trying to inspire UK photographers. Their next event involves JH Engstrom, can't wait.
Ryan Sheckler is probably the person I would expect to see down my local, but I guess the quest to find a chill girl knows no limits.
This evening Yorkshire's finest folky bluesman Sam Barrett is playing at The Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell. I recommend you go, he's really good.
The new issue of Plus1 has hit the streets, or if you prefer; download. Derek Albeck did the cover...
Inside you'll find Toddla T,
and Crystal Antlers. There's also a great photo piece by Hin Chua, as well as a ton of other good stuff, go check it.
Last night saw the premiere of the new Traffic Skateboards video 'Tokyo Transfer'. Nick Zorlac was our host for the evening, taking control of Harrow's Trinity pub. Anyway the video's amazing: The mix of crazy Japanese architecture and the quickfooted prowess of the Traffic team makes a great combination... I think it's also really limited edition, so grab one whilst you can.
After the film Steak and Psycho's new band 'White Lightning' played... TOTAL ROCK AND ROLL!
Here's an outtake from a shoot I did with the artist Charming Baker.
His paintings are really great, check them out here, or even go and see his show in London from June 5th.
