Vegetables & Vegetable Soup

Thanks to everyone who came down to Songkla this past Saturday to support us and our good friends at Close to Modern at the Vegetables Compilation CD release party. If you haven't got your hands on a CD yet, it's not too late. You can buy the CD or download the MP3 here. We are also still selling the CD here for $12 and special edition Songkla Vegetables T-shirt with CD for $35. Also the good looking guys of KarmaPolice released the Vegetable Soup Mix in support of the delicious beats that Dominic Pierce, NinetyNine, Dale Evans & the others that were involved in the compilation served up. Looks like you could use some more vitamins.

&ersand 2: A Collective Art Exhibition

If you guys and gals are looking for something fun & cool to do this week, come check out an art exhibition that some friends of Songkla are hosting at Untitled Art Society Main Gallery. The exhibition runs August 5th & 6th, with the Reception Party on the 7th.

&ampersand is a collaborative art exhibition, where each collaborator brings a different skill, practice and perspective. Collaborations are a unique experience where inspiration, motivation, and new perspectives can influence works created. The beauty of each work comes from how new ideas emerge, as part of the collaborations, where it would not have otherwise happened. It is never a perfect process. As you work off each other, you start discovering your own strengths and weaknesses. Either working harmoniously or clashing ideas, by the end of it, you never know how it’s going to turn out. There are 20+ collaborative works between 40+ artists and designers. This is round 2 of &ampersand. Enjoy.

Another Custom Leather

We've been getting a lot of interest in our custom work, as we may be the only ones in town doing this kind of thing. The latest one belongs to Dr. Farshad. Having shopped around the world, and being decked out in the best in mens contemporary labels, he had a good idea of what he wanted in a leather jacket. After a few design ideas, we've come up with something that he's really happy with.

Custom Leather: Alistair Noble

We've just completed another custom leather piece for a new customer. Alistair has been in the market for a leather jacket for quite a while but had trouble finding the right fit so he showed up at our door for a tailored fit original design. The jacket turned out great and fits him perfectly.

Custom Moccasins: Illangelo

We just finished a pair of moccasins for Calgary based producer Illangelo. This custom pair has hand stitched leather soles and detachable skirts. Hopefully it'll serve him well as he ventures to Toronto to work with some big names. Keep an eye on the up and coming local talent.

Custom Leather: Wax Romeo

Another custom leather jacket hot off the press. This piece was just finished for local DJ Wax Romeo who is behind some of Calgary's best party nights, Stars & Muscles and Hai Karate. Check out his rad new jacket below and take a gander at his site too!
