New Poster: The Swell Season in Mesa, AZ

Our poster for The Swell Season's show in Mesa, AZ last night, is available now. This 18" x 24" four color silkscreen poster was printed on Accent Opaque Smooth White 100# cover stock. It is a signed and numbered edition of 200. The majority of the edition was available from the band last night at the show, so we only have a small amount available for sale.

If you get a chance to see The Swell Season on this tour, definitely do. Their new album, Strict Joy, is great and they are one of the best live shows I have ever been to. I suppose while I am plugging and sounding like a super fan, if you haven't seen the movie Once yet, rent it ASAP. Part of the inspiration for this movie, was the result of soundtrack The Swell Season created for Jan Hrebejk's movie, Beauty In Trouble. 'Once', is a low-budget Irish indie film that turned out to be one of the most successful independent features of 2007. The pair not only wrote the songs for the movie but they both starred in it as well.

Nike "Beautiul Losers" Dunk Collection

To commemorate the Beautiful Losers release, Nike’s Sportswear’s JESSE LEYVA has also created a series of 22 Beautiful Losers Dunks emblazoned with iconic stills from the movie using the company’s new high-resolution digital printing process. Says Aaron Rose of the project, “We went back to the documentary and pulled frame stills of what we felt were key moments in the narrative. We used these moments to tell the Beautiful Losers story using the shoes as a medium, with the end result being a collection of works of art.” Viewed together, the shoes reflect the overall narrative of the film, and after being exhibited at the NYC and LA “Make Something!” workshops, two sets of the shoes will be auctioned off with proceeds donated to the Children’s Aid Society.
