Hi All
So we just got back from a weekend in NYC, where YG played a show at Piano's in Manhattan and at the Music Hall of Williamburg in Brooklyn. We had a great visit - besides playing shows we hung out with our manager Brandon as a group for the first time, had meetings in mid-town high rises, saw lots of music, etc. We also had the great fortune to meet with Jess Rotter, a very lovely and talented woman who we befriended when we first saw her work as Rotter & Friends, a t-shirt design company, in Nylon magazine a couple of years ago. We went by to see her office in Green Point in Brooklyn where she churns out incredible, inspired rock n' roll designs that capture the rock n' roll myth perfectly. Little did we know she also works with Kemado records, Kanine Records, and Mexican Summer records, while also designing for a number of big-ass labels and generally running things in NYC! Check out last season's Rotter & Friends designs at her website, www.rotterandfriends.com, which feature Graham Nash from the 'Songs For Beginners' phase, Link Wray, Karen Dalton, and Bob Dylan, among others.. and peep the Spring collection here: http://www.rotterandfriends.com/lookbook/R&F_Spring09.pdf
...And here's a pic of Catherine and I in our Rotter and Friends shirts, she got 'Seger' and I got 'Ram on'!
She's got the vision, people. Very heavy!
Steve
