The art of Suede's Brett Anderson

He is one of the best voices of the so called brit pop movement which invaded the planet in the 90's. As the frontman from the Suede his voice sang some of the best songs ever. "Still Life", "Saturday Night", "The Beautiful Ones" or "Trash" still echoe in our minds. He then launched a solo career and on the 26 of September "Black Rainbows" will be out in the shops. Here's a great theme from that album. We just love it.

Heaven 17 - Music of Quality and Distinction Live in London

Heaven 17 are back in form performing their 80's album The Luxury Gap in 3D sound in London on October the 14th at The Roundhouse. The day after the band will perform songs from Music of Quality and Distinction, the album released by the band in their label BEF (British Electric Foundation). This show will feature guest guest singers such as Glenn Gregory, Green Gartside, Boy George, Midge Ure and Sandie Shaw, among others. A great opportunity to listen to two of the best albums from the 80's and to testify the energy of Heaven 17, a band formed after the split of Human League and one of the best electronic projects back then. And get ready to see the band playing also tunes from bands iconic bands such as Blancmange, Human League and, hopefully, The Associates. I am buying my ticket and booking my flight. What are you waiting for?

Benetton Vintage

Opening Soon was the name of an exhibition on the best shop designs commissioned by Benetton. The event took place in Milan on February 21st 2009 and was the opening event of the Trienale de Arquitectura. Here you could see the best projects laid out by architects from all over the world for Benetton shops. And to decorate the room Benetton searched the archives and came up of with some of the brand's most iconic models. And the astonishing result was this: Dozens of models hanging from the roof, a marvellous display of colour and design.

Locked in Ana Locking's use of colour

One of the things that locked me in during the February 2011 presentation of Spanish Fall / Winter collections at Cibeles  Madrid Fashion Week was the use of colour by the Spanish designer Ana Locking. Aside from the colours, Trendenz was fascinated by the great proposals as far as menswear is concerned e.g, the long coats with interestig details or the daring rocks for men. Fashion with a sense of purpose and clean style. 

The most beautiful band in town

Think of Arcade Fire or I'm From Barcelona, mix it with tropical melodies and lyrics and rock anthems and you will get the perfect mix by this bunch of cool modern Brazilians. Formed two years ago A Banda Mais Bonita Da Cidade (The Most Beautiful Band In Town) began researching the work by some popular Brazilian composeres, mixing brazilian lyrics and melodies with recent rock sounds. The result is this astonishing song for the cool days of Summer. After discovering recent acts such as Cansei de Ser Sexy, A Banda Mais Bonita da Cidade could be a sure bet to ignite the audiences in the coming summer open air festivals. File under cool modern Brazlians, next to the sounds of Mangue Beat, Fernanda Abreu or the great Brazilian Dj Camilo Rocha, the man who launched the compilation "Música Electrônica do Brasil" for the magazine Trip do Brazil in the mid-90's and who changed then completely my perception on Brazilian music.

Creation The love and dance and groove corporation - Palatial

May the 9th is the release date both in selected movie theatres and on DVD for the movie on one of the greatest British labels, Creation. "Upside Down" features statements on this label by renowned musicians. But should you wish to know more about this label, check this record. "Keeping the Faith" is probably one of the best dance compilations ever and features a number of versions remixed by renowned DJs such as Danny Rampling or Andrew Weatherall. The most amazing track is this one featured on the video above, Palatial, by the Love Corporation. Fluke, Primal Scream or My Bloody Valentine are some of the bands whose work is remixed with an astonishing end result. After listening to this you will realise why Creation is considered one of the grooviest lables in the history of modern music.
