We had our COMUNE Spring Summer launch at Zebraclub this past weekend. It was a combined effort from Wick Winder, Feedback Mgmt and Zebraclub. A great way for us to support the account and showcase the COMUNE line to their customers. It’s the first of many events across Canada to help show our support forour dealers and to keep the focus on the COMUNE line.
Many thanks to all that helped put it together, look for more details in our next newsletter.

COMUNE/DROP CITY CONTRIBUTOR SHELBY MENZEL IS A DELICATE GENIUS AND I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST WAY. HE HAS A KNACK FOR CALLING OUT THE WAY OF LIVING LIFE THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A WORKING STIFF…(READ FULL ARTICLE)
COMUNE’S Holiday 2010 collection is heavily concentrated on both coated and textured materials to offer a superior look and feel to each piece, while continuing to show their price awareness and fabric quality. Using brushed shirting in the Carter, polar fleece in the Austin and polycoated denim in the Raul are examples of the refinement and functionality in this Holiday collection. Their goal is to continue providing clothing that reflects a lifestyle of carefree idealism and to support the people that choose to live it.
THE ALMIGHTY DEFENDERS GIVE LINDSAY LOHAN A FACELOAD OF ASS
Got this one off of the viceland site. The Almighty Defeneders is made up of King Khan and The Black Lips (Vestal)
We came across some fancy French blog with photos of our buddies the Almighty Defenders partying at the Cannes Festival with Lindsay Lohan. We’re still pretty far from being 100 percent on exactly what the shit is going on here, but we threw the photo captions into Google Translate and they were funny in a we-don’t-give-a-fuck-because-it’s-Friday-afternoon kind of way so we left them as is.
Lindsay Lohan poses next to the Baron of King Khan at Cannes. Long live the mix of genres!
King Khan was removing Josephine de la Baume at Jimmy’s in Cannes.
King Khan has managed to blush Lindsay Lohan. Anyway. GB King Khan!
The Almighty Defenders in the garb of gospel singers to Baron in Cannes…this time without interruption. With Jen’s guest-star. (No idea what the “interruption” was.)
This one even made TMZ. Apparently Khan was still stuffing his ass in Lindsay’s face at the after party.
We’re just as confused as you are, but we also wish we were there.
COMUNE opened its doors on Saturday, April 24th to over 500 guests for the official launch of Drop City. “Experiments in Occultism and Parapsychology” was the title and theme of the show with artists: Corey Smith, Gareth Stehr, Jason Lee Parry, Jimmy Fontaine, Clifford Lidell, Nathan and Noah Rice, Danielle DeFoe, Shelby Menzel, Kealan Shilling, Ray Gordon, Noel Sinclair Boyt, Liz Davis and Hunter Longe all of whom exhibited their newest work coinciding with the dark and ominous theme. The artist’s work included video installations, sculpture, photography, and paintings. For the event COMUNE constructed a massive maze gallery extending off its existing steal shipping container show space. As viewers wandered their way through the maze they experienced an overwhelming visual impact. The visceral glow of several video installations reflected off everyone’s bodies and the energy pyramid centered in the entrance of the compound set the tone for the rest of the show. Gareth Stehr’s black light room was a highlight creating a psychedelic/mock black magic vibe that only he can explain. Dj’s blasted the finest stoner rock along with 60’s and 70’s obscure psych/garage favorites. PBR flowed like water and Gringo and the Bean fed the packed house.
