Super Sonic

I'm really excited about going to Super Sonic on Friday. Have been meaning to go for a couple of years now and the line up this year is too good to miss. Especially excited about seeing Nerco Deathmort, Godflesh, Devilman and King Midas Sound. There will also be screenings of a new Matthew Barney performance and Boredoms 77 Boa Drum documentary.

I saw Melt-Banana (who are also playing) in Newcastle on Monday and if that was anything to go by it will be a weekend to remember.

Sunderland Echo

Empty Shop got a nice write up in the Sunderland Echo last week. The photograph was taken at the Freebirds exhibition we had at Made in Newcastle.

The Greggs on Chillingham Road was recently refurbished, so it was good to know that there were another 3 outlets within walking distance.

David Blandy at Seventeen

I've just returned from a short trip to London where I saw another great exhibition at Seventeen Gallery, this time by David Blandy. I've seen a few pieces by Blandy at the Baltic and Workplace Gallery in Gateshead before and really like his work. The concept behind this exhibition is very interesting and really worth visiting if you're in London.

More information about the show can be found here.
