Directed by Dave Meinert, the new Lark video, Stole The Moon, is another masterpiece. It seems that anything this band touches turns to gold. Inge Beckmann, lead singer, had to learn the song backwards - As if the song it self isn’t crazy enough. As always we keep it short here on Social Contract and let the work of the artists featured speak for itself. So a last big up to director Dave Meinert and his team for putting this together and congrats to Lark on another epic track. Here it is.
Two awesome nights at The Assembly this weekend, first up Mike Zietsman’s poster for P.H.Fat at Discotheque and then Hanno Van Zyl for Lark with The Great Apes on Saturday.
Michael Dos Ramos created this intense comic book cover as the poster for It Came From The Jungle. Looks so rad, and would love to see more of this type of work.
Adam Hill once again, this time for Wildfire and Sailor Jerry. The gig is set to be a winner considering all the previous Sailor Jerrry organised events
The second poster has been printed on A2 art paper in a very limited run, I would try and get my hands on a copy. Check out the facebook event for more info by clicking the posters.
I recently saw the images of the new Scarlet HillEP titled “What” released late-ish last year and you can see Brett Jones‘ handprints all over this.
We asked Brett to tell us a bit more about the brief and process, and he had this to say:
“Well basically the guys from Scarlet Hill approached me to design their EP and wanted something bold and different but at the same time pretty catchy, which represented something of their musical style as a band. They gave me full license to design how I wanted, which was honestly the raddest “gift”.
Being the first CD I designed, I scanned over a few CD covers I liked and kinda anaylised why I liked them and such. I loved the Tame Impala covers, that whole trippy-recurring-image vibe as well as Foals’ This Orient single cover, but at also wanted to keep my personal style. So with that in mind, I started messing around with some idea’s and after about a month-or-so of design and discussion with the Scarlet Hill guys, we settled on the cover.
I love design where each time you look at it you can spot something new or different, and that’s what I tried to achieve with the front cover. Loads of detail but at the same time trying to keep that balance. I kinda toned it down for the rest of the artwork, but overall loved working on this project, learnt tons and gained some valuable experience.”
I bet you love this? I’m gonna run out and get me a copy to see it in real life.
Have you seen that heading? Forget about the great line-ups this week, we get the mighty Kronk with his first gig poster in about a year, Andrew Ringrose as usual on the Discotheque poster and the SYNW combo of Adriaan Louw and Graham Kennedy,
I’ll leave you to it, click the posters to go to the facebook events, and pick that jaw up from the floor please.
Just found this video on Youtube and it gave me goosebumps again. Kristian Matsson decided to grace us with a new song on the night and someone was kind enough to share the video on the web.
If you missed the gig, you really missed out in a big way. Again, thank you Your Friends for a beautiful night.
If you are looking for a pre-Valentine’s Day event, look no further. Rouleaux van der Merwe made a wonderful minimal poster for the gig at The Waiting Room with Mister and Misread and The Red Robins.
It’s been a while since we were able to feature some of Shane Durrant’s work on this blog, and we are delighted to show you these two beauties. Perfectly set type as you expect from the man.
Every time Fiddle East rolls out their next event, you can feel the buzz surrounding it. Once again TwoShoes Design created the poster and the lineup is looks sick.
