KNK INTERVIEW @ RSVP GALLERY (CHICAGO)

@superfun x Keys N Krates from @superfun on Vimeo.


So we did we recently played this really fun party in Chicago called the "SUPERFUN PARTY" which is put on by Henessy, and the RSVP Gallery (a cool clothing boutique owned by Kanye's manager Don C). RSVP had us in the shop earlier in the day for an interview, and then continued to film our show at night. Here's the interview and some clips of the show.

RANDOM SHOW FOOTAGE


Kinda fun finding more and more random live footage of us on the web nowadays. Here's something random I came across of us doing "One In A Mill" in L.A. this past summer.

GOOD FOOD : Eduardo's






Eduardo's @ Rue St. Denis and Avenue Deluth Est, Montreal. That's whassup.

REALLY REALLY GOOD ARTIST

So a ton of people have been asking us about who did our "Live Re-Mixing 101" cover art. Well he's actually a long-time friend of mine (going back to 10th Grade). He goes by Deadly Delmundo, co-founder of and co-designer of the Toronto apparel brand IRIS Clothing, and is currently extending his talents to Marvel comics. After the upstanding work he did for us, we had to give him some spotlight on our little bloggy blog, and show you some more of his nasty illustrations.






HIS WEBSITE..

DOPE MUSIC



I've always been a fan of large epic songwriting, a la U2, Coldplay etc. Another band that I've yet to check out live but am salivating for the day they return to Toronto is Arcade fire. This band must just be ridiculous live. "Wake up" is one of my faves. I'd love to pull out my keytar and rock out on stage with them one day. Check their album funeral and hear how epic songs are really done.

GOOD ASS MUSIC : Pretty Lights


Its been a minute since we've posted some of the music we listen to, so I thought I'd post what music got me through today.
All you music producers or just people who like to chill to some good instrumental music; check Pretty Lights out.

I was vibin to this on the tour bus ride over from Ottawa to Montreal. I was in a bad mood and this shit put me in a good mood. Probably not for everyone these 2 albums. But for the people who do "get it" you'll find yourself continually coming back to this for its vibes and sounds. Check his website to grab his music.
