Seriously, Shock Cinema is my favorite Atlanta band. Well, technically they’re from New York now but they got their start here in the ATL and moved over a year ago. They’ve since been signed to a record label and they’ve recently released an album called Our Way Is Revenge. Pitchfork only gave it a 5.4 but we all know that they don’t know what they’re talking about.
Being a film school nerd and noise-junkie, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed their live shows which feature visual remixes of classic horror films. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you have no excuse to miss this event. I have no doubt that their Return to the Dirty Dirty is going to be incredible.

Here’s a few events that will be taking place in Atlanta during the next few weeks that we highly recommend:
First off, our good friend & Creative Circus rival, Evan McHugh, will be playing songs from his latest album, From the Second Chair at Smith’s Olde Bar on Thursday, September 20th at 8pm. I’ll be there assisting Jorge Menes, as he captures Evan in action.
Secondly, sneakerheads unite at Sneaker Pimps Atlanta this Saturday night at Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center. This globally touring sneaker show is back in Atlanta for the 4th year, and they’ve finally hooked-up the ATL with a deserving performance from the Clipse. We’ll be out supporting our boys at Standard who are sponsoring the event.
Lastly, our buddy, Garrett Moore will be making a homecoming tour stop at Eddie’s Attic on Wednesday, October 3rd at 7:30pm. Be sure to pick up his album, Fireseed, that we designed last month.
These babies just came in today and we’re really excited about the finished product. About 2 months ago, we were approached by Garrett Moore to design his upcoming album called Fireseed. It will be released in conjunction with his show at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur this Thursday night [August 30th].
You can get your tickets to the show at the Eddie’s Attic Online Box Office
Here’s an exclusive preview of the opening track to the album, called “To Be Loved”.
The MIXT art show at MINT gallery contained fresh mixtape related art from many local artists. It was a very exciting night with many amazing art pieces that were also auctioned off. A raffle was held in which we donated a couple of Angelica Tees that went to two lucky winners. Special thanks to Andrew Bellury and the rest of the MINT crew for allowing us be a part of this great event.
This Saturday night [8/25], come out to MINT Gallery to check out a fresh mixtape related art show dubbed MIXT. We’ve contributed one of our world famous Boomcase/Briefboxes designed with Kevin Byrd from Armchair Media. We’ve also included our Mixtape #1 by Quantuum 7Thousand of Brooklyn and a stack of surprise EC tees. There will be an Auction for artwork and a Raffle, so be sure to show up to win some goods and support local artists.
It’s going to be a really strong show. Other featured artists include: Amanda Goodbread, Jess Hinshaw, Margaret Wright, Jason Travis, Andy Imm, Justin Davis, Emily Maxell, Jenny Anderson, Josephy Lawsky, J.R.

Chris Black & Done to Death hooked-up the Epidemik Coalition crew with a copy of the new Cartel album that drops tomorrow (August 21st). Chroma was a great album and this one’s going to be even better.
Make sure you pick one upHEREand they’ll send you anautographed copy. Show your support for the local boys, my copy is on the way.
Oh, and watch my video walkthrough of the album packaging.
Jorge Menes and I are going to Athens to shoot photos of Rehab for their biggest show of the summer. We’re hoping to use the images for their upcoming live album and future promotional items.
The picture above is a proof for the tour poster that Jorge and I worked up for them, but it got shot down by ReverbNation and Myspace for being “too graphic”. Click the picture above to see the dumbed down version of the tour poster that we worked out. The designing process always comes down to what the client wants, right?
Get your tickets for the show at Rehab’s page.
Upcoming news on projects with Coca-Cola and the EC Medusa 2 tee coming soon! Stay tuned…
Brooklyn’s own, created this killer hour of beats exclusively for the Epidemik Coalition crew. Calling it“cake mix this style”, Quantuum 7thousand uses his sense of humor to give big-ups to his homeboys from Brooklyn to ATL. When he’s not cracking jokes, he’s making us want to “leave our 9 to 5’s on the shelf” and shotgun a few Blue Ribbons. Cuts include refrains from Yo Majesty, MJ, LCD Soundsystem, Biggie, and countless other club burners.
There are several ways you can enjoy Epidemik Coalition Mix Tape Project Vol. 1
Wait, it gets better… If you download the MP3 files, you’ll get to keep bonus artwork from world-famous interactive designer & thinker,Dave Werner, of Okay Dave & Okay Samurai fame. Do it!
What a riot!
Girl Talk rolled into Decatur on Friday night (10.6).
The dancefloor stayed hot while all the regulars threw down to an amazing and unpredictable set. Ladies were dressed-up in costume, lesbians played grab-ass, and ballers bobbed their heads to the crunk beats.
