Rip’n'Roll wants your face on a condom. Don’t you?
Now you can have your face (or band logo or artwork) printed on a condom wrapper. Rip ‘n’ Roll, America’s Condom Superstore, will print your face on a condom wrapper with some text for about $30 bucks for 25 condoms.
Presidential Condoms. I’ll take 50 Clinton’s. Bill Clinton’s, that is.
In other condom news, Condomania just released their Erection, er, Election Protection line of condoms. The Democratic Sampler includes a JFK condom while the Republican Sampler features a Nixon jimmy-hat. Condomania also carries a line of art-inspired condoms that include images from Seattle artist Peter Bagge.
…which makes for some really great music with Rocha’s new band, One Day as a Lion. One Day’sEP , out via the awesome ANTI record label last month, firmly delivered the one-two knock-out punch rabid Rage fans have been waiting for. Most of the five-song disc aren’t radio-friendly. Which only affirms the fact it’s worth your time. ODAAL also features the massive talent of Jon Theodore (formerly of The Mars Volta) on drums.
The band plans on releasing the EP on 180 gram vinyl soon. If you pre-order the vinyl, you’ll get a free MP3 download of the EP. Sweet.
The Electric Kisses at the King Cobra, Wednesday, August 20th.
Sarah, the excellent bass player for one of my favorite Seattle bands, The Electric Kisses did this poster (above) for their gig this coming Wednesday at the KC. I love the rat in the bottom right corner thinking “get electric”. I have no idea what that means, but I love it.
The Electric Kisses will be heading back into the studio (!) next month. The Pranks, who have a new record coming out this Saturday and, The Shy Ones are also on this sweet, mid-week bill. Which makes me think that we should all start the weekend Wednesday at the King Cobra this week.
Cherrybomb would like to thank my favorite LP and Sarah for their help with this entry. Ladies, you make me proud that I’m a girl every time you get up on stage…
The Neon Clan is a group of French activists who have a thing for neon. Meaning they hate it. Neon Clan spends their evenings running around the streets of France shutting off neon signs and lights that would otherwise burn needlessly through the night. It turns out, it’s remarkably easy to extinguish those pesky lights as the main switch for most signs is located at the side or front of the building where the light is displayed. Check the vid above for more on that, ’cause let’s face it…
Cherrybombed.com is about the music and culture of the Pacific Northwest, as well as other cool happenings around the world. We also shine a spotlight on celebrities behaving badly. Here, you will find videos, low-brow artwork and images, and tattoos only a mother could hate.
If boozing was an olympic event, we would be on a box of Wheaties. If this all sounds familiar to you (and your mother), welcome home.
