Ubantu is derived from the Zulu word for humanity and promoting the virtues of kindness is the ethos behind this new girls streetwear label which was set-up by South African raised, Sydney-based designer Aimee Pezaro. The t-shirts in particular are amazing — vibrant, dynamic, and made for comfort. We like. [see also Get Fighted Clothing]

‘Some people call me the space cowboy, some call me the gangster of love, some people call me Maurice, cause I speak with the pompetus of love’. The pompetus of love?! Really. I don’t know what the heck Steve Miller was on the day he wrote that, but I could sure do with some now. Read more

The Howling Bells on their big Bell Hit
The first time I saw Howling Bells play was a blustery Sydney evening a few years back when I’d gotten the word from singer Juanita Stein’s brother — Ari — that an ‘event’ was going down and I was to do whatever it took to get in to see it.
