The KVB Performs at Room 205

Today we’re “amped” to launch the deafening roar of Room 205 with shoegazing darksiders The KVB. While on a recent tour of the Western United States, this London-based two-piece moved heaven and earth to make their wonderfully meditative 3-part episode possible. Working with award-winning documentary filmmaker Alix Lambert (The Mark of Cain), cinematographer Conor Simpson, engineer Griffin Rodriguez and editor Forrest Borie, this exclusive live performance of “Captives” employs a simple set of colored gels, soft shadows, playful synth melodies, one cranky drum machine, one enormously loud Jazzmaster, and two unflinching performers. Welcome to the bracingly Zen-like inner-world of The KVB.

The KVB is the prolific audio/visual outlet of artists Nicholas Wood and Kat Day. Combining goth-tinged, abstract imagery with a love of shoegaze guitars, minimal synths, reverb-drenched vocals and rigid beats, Nicholas initially started The KVB as a solo project. After frequent collaborations throughout 2011, Kat Day joined permanently on synths and visuals. Fast on the heels of several EPs and limited-edition cassettes, 2012 saw the release of the band’s acclaimed first LP, Always Then, soon followed by tours of the UK, EU, and Western US. In early 2013, The KVB released Immaterial Visions via NYC’s Cititrax imprint. If your musical tastes veer toward hypnotic minimal wave and snarling post-punk, The KVB will definitely satisfy your darkest Psychocandy-esque cravings.

Check back May 13th for a new performance by The KVB

New Incase for Andy Warhol Spring ‘13 Collection

Incase and The Andy Warhol Foundation are proud to release a new series of cases for iPhone 5 in the Incase for Andy Warhol Collection. Available today, the eight-piece collection consists of four distinct designs from Warhol’s body of work completed in the 1960s. For Spring 2013, the Warhol Snap Cases feature creations derived from his experimental film works and cultural events of the period as well as vibrant reinterpretations of some of the artist’s signature pieces.

Warhol was known for choosing subject matter relevant to pop culture events. In 1963, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa made its debut in the US, leading to widespread media coverage and attention for the painting and the museums that housed it. Warhol made the painting the subject of a series of early silkscreen paintings that year. The work selected for the Mona Lisa Snap Case showcases Warhol’s affinity for color and serial repetition, a technique demonstrated throughout Warhol’s oeuvre.

The 1960s were also a time when Warhol began exploring film as a medium for his art. The Kiss Snap Case features an image taken from a screenprint on plexiglass based on frames from Warhol’s 1963 film Kiss.

The intense colors of Warhol’s 1964 Flowers silkscreen are instantly recognizable as signature Warhol. Utilizing a picture of hibiscus blossoms taken from a photography magazine, he extensively modified the original, cropping the image, moving flowers and removing details to emphasize contrast. For the iPhone 5 issue of the Flowers Snap Case, new colors bring a fresh interpretation to the art while respecting the artist’s intent.

Warhol’s hand-drawn image of an early 1900s telephone (1961) reminds us of the enduring nature of telephone technology, which still takes primacy today even with modern advancements in personal communication. Fluorescent hues give the design a Warhol-appropriate pop art treatment for a fun and playful look.
