RHYTHM DEVILS | NYC

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:08:00 -0400

Photos by Max Stavis

Last Saturday Sticky Stampede and crew along with photographer Max Stavis, caught The Rhythm Devils at Terry Town Music Hall.

A three hour show in Terry Town highlighted their unique hybrid sound. A mix of Grateful Dead Songs along with their own music performed with a Garage Rock and Roll vibe.

If anyone has heard the Rhythm Devils in the past, then you gotta catch them during this run, its a completely different sound and a must see.

The Rhythm Devils began as the duo of Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann (seen below) and his percussionist partner Mickey Hart (seen above).

Together with their supporting cast, they will take music beyond the horizon to a universe where rhythm is in constant flux and sound has infinite potential.

LARGE UP | COLLIE BUDDZ

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:38:00 -0400

Words by Aaron Hansen

Our good friend DJ Gravy posted a piece on his blog Large UP a few weeks back. It gives you a behind the scenes look at the Collie Buddz show we sponsored back in February at Santos Party House.

When Bermudan reggae crossover artist Collin Harper aka Collie Buddz, came to New York to perform at Rice and Peas, we knew we had to get something exclusive with him…

We took Collie around Chinatown for some gritty, authentically downtown backdrops and took some shots at Santos Party House, where he had just sound-checked for the big show.

Gravy sent us over some exclusive pictures of Collie repping for the Boundless Stampede. If you like that sweater he’s wearing, you are in luck, because we have some King Stampede Striped V Neck Sweaters still in stock.

Make sure if you’re in NY on Friday Nights to check out Gravy’s party in the basement at Santos. Its always a good time.

Also on the hush hush, we have a Mixtape Project in the works with DJ Gravy and Boundless NY’s own Teddy King slated for a Fall Release. Keep your eyes and ears locked to BoundlessNY.com for more info on that.

Words By Aaron Hansen

Part 4 is here and its looking like you might see 2 more videos after this one. The content is so good. After watching this its clear why the first record he ever produced went Gold. I know this is your secret jam – Troop – Spread My Wings.

Here is the Boundless breakdown of how DJ Clark Kent became Super Producer DJ Clark Kent. Remember, it’s all mathematics.

Herbie ‘Love Bug’ Azor + Dana Dane + Marley Marl + Paul C + Patrick Adams = Producer DJ Clark Kent

Basically its like having the Original Dream Team teach you how to play basketball. Insane.

Enjoy and make sure you watch Parts 1, 2 and 3.

MANNY MANIA PRO EVENT

Everyone including Mother Nature showed up to the Manny Mania Pro Finals under the Manhattan Bridge yesterday. Light morning showers progressed into a full on downpour halting Red Bull’s yearly comp during the first few heats. Joey Brezinski on the mic announcing that because of rain, this years 30,000$ purse would be split between evenly between the 22 skaters.

With ominous skies, crowds still turned out by the hundreds to see their favorite pros compete…and for the Product Toss. Who wants some free tees? Get your hands in the air.

Stevie Williams was there…

Eric Koston with the ill pen styles. Man can’t sign enough autographs these days.

Boundless NY’s Dwaynne Almonte was there supporting. Dwaynne and Gabe Almonte competed in the Manny Mania Am Finals last month at Woodward. Always repping for their shop Boundless NY.

NYC legend Jefferson Pang among the Red Bull Staff hired for the event.

Eric Koston and his Mary Poppins Umbrella during warm ups before the downpour. Sick.

Even though rain came, the two day event was a success. The AM Finals on Saturday were definitely a memorable event for the attendees and competitors alike. Not many contests bring 32 countries together for something like this.

Shawn Brackbill captured as much as he could from the day. If you didn’t attend this weekend, make sure your checking the new Boundless NY Flickr account to see these flicks as large as they were shot.

P.ROD 4 | NIKE SB | BOWERY STADIUM

The PRod 4 Release Party last night was an epic extravaganza. Nike SB at the new Nike Bowery Stadium venue was the perfect place to set it off. The Boundless Family was in full attendance. (Left to Right – Mac Yang, Jimmy Papers, Sticky Stampede, Cara, Tes Uno, Manny Hundreds).

A Quiver of Tecates and Skateboards pretty much sums up the night. The Nike SB Team Shane O’Neil, Koston, PRod were chilling. Rumors of a special guest performance were in full effect. Would it be Nas?

Click on the EXPAND ICON on the sideshow above to see the photos in the size they were ment to be seen. FULL SCREEN LARGE!!!

Nike definitely packed the house. Upstairs and downstairs you were always running into someone you haven’t seen in months.

Like these two here. Peter and Chase. I think they picked these matching shirts up on their Saturday morning date to Bed Bath and Beyond.

The Boundless Familia also in matching uniform. Jimmy Papers’ beard is no joke, you could light a match on that beard. Glad you made it out Papers.

The crowd eagerly anticipating the surprise performance. Projectors showing Skate Videos is the move for the rest of 2010. Life size. Just like how you should be viewing that slide show. Click Play and then Click the Expand Icon. Trust me.

And then there was GUCCI. Fresh outta the clink with his Ice Cream Cone Chain and entourage in tow. He incited a mini riot. You know its getting live when random people at the party start crowd surfing. Madness.

Oh Yeah and La Superior was brought in to cater the event. So good. You couldn’t find a waiter fast enough. Nike SB and the Bowery Stadium threw a great event.

The PRod 4s will be in store at Boundless NY very soon. For now feed your SB craving with our current stock of shoes and apparel here or in store at Boundless NYC.
