Roxy Pro Surfer Kassia Meador is already known for her skills in the ocean. More and more, she is also getting to be known for her talent as an artist and photographer. So she is taking her skills as an artist to Fashion’s Night Out 2010.  This is another installment of Fashion’s biggest party which celebrates and supports the retail and fashion industry.

Plan your night here, but most importantly stop by the Roxy store in SOHO. Come in, and take a look at our new rad SK8 decks. During Fashion’s Night Out, Kassia will be there to lend her skills to help personalize your own skate deck to take with!

Fashion’s Night Out will take place on September 10, 2010 from 6-9pm. The participating Roxy Store is located at 519 Broadway, New York, NY  10012.

We’re huge fans for Swedish dance-pop sensation Robyn, so we’re beyond excited that she’s got a new album coming out in September called Body Talk Pt. 2.  Here’s the video for the new single “Hang With Me”, which drops on August 17^th. The clip is a great peek into the hectic life of a real working girl. See our heroine on tour, hanging with her band at an amusement park, and greeting fans.  Robyn is real, and we love her for it!

A fun little show in a great town. In the next couple of days we’ll be setting up an installation for Joelle and her great shop right in the center of town at the far east end of Long Island. The shop is called, Share With… Montauk, it’s a great little store that sells clothes made using recycled material and fabrics bought thru Fair Trade. We had our first show there last year and it felt so right we’re doing it again. We’ll be there all month with some great artwork by Chris Pfeil, Ed Fladung, Mike Perry, Paul Gallegos, Paul D’Elia, Stephanie Hosmer, Steven Harrington, Kassia Meador, Scott Massey and more… Join us…

If you like super upbeat poppy music, you might like one of our favorite new bands, Artist Vs Poet. They are actually releasing a new album today called Favorite Fix! Make sure to check it out and you’ll be sure to hear some catchy tunes such as “Car Crash” and “Damn Rough Night.”  If you’re a new fan, you can always check them out on tour this Summer too!

Check out this new band we just discovered called the Kopecky Family Band! Straight out of Nashville, Tennessee Kopecky Family Band has a unique blend of neo-classical, folk, and electric sensibilities. Were loving the song “It” and know you will too!!!

Mia posted (almost a year ago!) about RCRD LBL, which is a really cool website that sends free music downloads to your email each day and I subscribed immediately. Now, many, many months later, I am still looking forward to my daily music delivery. I have “discovered” more than one cool new band through this site, but my latest music find on there is simply put- BEYOND.

So who is this mystery band you may ask?

It’s none other than Florence + the Machine, a band hailing from the UK who opened for MGMT over the summer. Their music is fun, funky and beautiful all at the same time…darkly romantic and yet impossibly uplifting. But don’t take my word for it, listen here and make your own decision. Happy listening!

AUTOMATIC PANIC stands way above the underground world of Electro. He is a triple threat: producer, DJ and remixer. His music is praised and played by heavy hitters such as Justice, Felix Da House Cat and Digitalism. This club hit maker has remixed everyone from MSTRKRFT to Puff Daddy and his track “The Sound” was recently released on SONY Records ONELOVE Compilation, mixed by Junior Sanchez. He is clearly no stranger to the DANCE SCENE but is talented and diverse enough to bridge the gap between pop and dance music. He produces electro pop punk queen, DJ Cat and all of her music. “I’m not POP. I’m just PUNK!” he exclaims. Indeed, his unique style and diverse tastes in music bring a rare sound which is never duplicated. AP is constantly introducing new remixes and new tracks, often his own, into his mixes. However he never forgets his roots bring in a healthy amount of the best tracks of the past and present electro dance rock. The future? Despite a busy studio schedule, 2009 will introduce Automatic Panic’s live show! Teaming up with New Yorker, DJ Cat, the two will embark on a tour sure to wow audiences. Causing thunder on the dance floors from coast to coast, city to city, country to country, the sounds of Automatic Panic is coming your way! For more info visit: myspace/automaticpanic
