Alive in the 90's!

We were so glad to be part of Happy House Entertainment's 90's tribute gig last Friday at Black King's Bar in West Ave, QC. We opened our set with a sound check cover of The Raconteur's Hands, and then played Blur's Coffee & TV as our first song. The next songs were our own compositions: Nais Ko and Biyahe Bagahe. It was a super fun night! Also props to the band who performed Everlong in acoustic setting.

The only sort of sad thing about the event is that, I chugged down three 500ml Red Horse which means I have to burn the calories this week! Hahaha but anyway, at least the beer kept me out of being nervous and had a great time playing! (Or maybe I was the only one enjoying it haha)

Another video after the jump.

Mistress of Art: DIANNE DELA TORRE

In this long overdue post for another Mistress of Art feature, let me treat you to a different kind of artistry, mostly in the field of motion graphics.

I was lucky enough to stumble upon the profile of Dianne Dela Torre on Twitter while I was treasure hunting for artists to feature on our now-hiatus blog Extra Kanin. Dianne, currently based in London, UK is a multidisciplinary artist having done works in the field of multimedia, graphics animation, graphic design and illustration. I may have had a chance to talk to her (I think, I forgot already haha) over on Twitter before, and I kind of got interested to feature her works. What captured me with what she has already done are those character designs which, obviously, are moving. I see it as a combination of surreal and child-like environment, pressed with colors that are not tiring to see. You can see her artistry at play on her personal works, such as Dreams: Dorothie and Me and Numerophobia.


It's been a while since I saw her last works, but I'm guessing what she'll show us next on her portfolio are, it not amazing, really awesome! Check out her portfolio reel from 2011. More videos after the cut.
