We’ve got together with the good folks who run the I heart parties. This month we’re going to be taking over the Macbeth, giving away a load of T-shirts, putting on a free BBQ and then throwing the mother of all ho-downs.
Dubstep and dance from Second Son poster boys Noisses and DMC Champion DJ Beware. Rock, 90s hip hop and general dirt from Zuul, Tropical Tits and William Steel. We’re told that he’s good. He takes photos for Vice so there should be nuff angry looking hot girls.
We’re also putting pressure on some good friends to play a live set. If that comes off then this shit is going to blow up like a highschool kegger. More info on that soon.
So the long and short is - we’re going to play music and hopefully people will go nuts. In terms of haircuts, outfits, music and crowd reaction we’re hoping it’ll go something like this…
Mista Jam (Radio 1/1Extra/Speakerbox) will beplaying instore at Mash Clothing on Oxford Street this Friday 5th Feb.

Last month adidas invited us to design eight pairs of kicks using their ‘mi-originals’ system as part of our first ever fashion show. Now two of our colourways have been made available for purchase at the adidas Originals store in Earlham Street, central London, along with an exlusive free Second Son logo tee for each customer (while stocks last). Two colourways of the classic adidas ZX700 model are available: one is a clean black and yellow pair inspired by our Weather Pattern print, while the other is a fresh turquoise and white colourway designed to match our Cosmic Shit tee.
So if you like what we’ve done and want to order a pair, just head down to the adidas store at 9 Earlham Street, WC2H 9LL, and speak to a member of staff. Your shoes will be made specifically for you and will be delivered within four weeks along with your free t-shirt.
And to celebrate, we’re spreading the love by giving away a FREE PAIR of the Kicks! To enter the competition, just email us at competition@second-son.com with your answer to the following question: Would you like a free pair of trainers?
A) Yes
B) No, I only wear penny loafers.
The winner will be selected from a random draw. Competition ends on Friday 20th November 2009. Good luck peeps!
This November sees three members of the Second Son team take on the task of growing their very own moustaches, in aid of helping raise awareness and money for Cancer research. Now to be fair these boys have had a bit of a history with the tache, and have had designs on a handlebar and mutton chops for quite some time now, so they didn’t take much pursuading. Our bestest salesman and all round great white hope, Nick Hughes has long been a fan of the tache, not to mention the sidesweep combe-over, and is a furious collector of cut-throat razor blades great and small. In fact, you could call him a bit of a hair enthusiast really, from a simple a la souvarov, to the chin puff and fu manchu, this boys a fan of it all.
Nick pursuaded the rest of us to join in on the act, and joining him will be our very own lady-killer version of Kenny Everett and party boy extraordinaire Toby Russell, and Jared Leto’s slightly hairier twin brother Rufus Exton.
Some of the more beardedly challenged among us have had to sit this one out, plus there is certainly only room for one giant ginger tache in the Second Son camp. I personally offered to grow what could be called a tache (depending on how much your face looks like my crotch) however my enthusiastic approaches were met by what I can only describe as silent jealousy on my colleagues part, Movembers loss no doubt.
But enough with the stupid shit, please ,please, please follow the link to Nick’s page on the Movember site and support this overwhelmingly important cause as best you can, we promise to bless you with a fabulous montage of moustaches at the end of it all.
Last week I posted up the new video for Foreign Beggar’s ‘Contact’. This week I just wanted to remind you that their album, ‘United Colours of Beggattron’ which came out on October 6th is a massive album, and you really need to go cop that. It’s jam packed with production from Noisia, 2Tall, Ghosttown and Dag Nabbit, plus features from the likes of heavyweight lyricists Guilty Simpson & Phat Kat, X-Factor’s Graziella, and classic British rhymers like Jehst and Kyza to name a few.
Shouts to Orifice Vulgatron for rocking the Tea-Cup-Thug steez while out on tour! Respect Sir!
