KIEL MEAD CREATES QUITE THE SPECTACLE

2009-04-22T10:43:00.005-04:00

Eyeglasses are a complex accessory. There are those, of course, who wear them out of sheer necessity with no regard to fashion (sad indeed). In the best cases, oft-worn prescription specs can become a base part of a person's aesthetic almost like an added facial feature. Decoratively speaking, I instantly picture model Cole Mohr, who, when he first moved to NYC, always wore black lensless frames with vastly oversized shirts, layered long johns, and patent leather lace-ups. Sadly, two-plus years later, hipster abuse has mired for-adornment-only eyewear in Hot Topic cliche. Until now.

I was instantly charmed by these Kiel Mead glasses with "freckle" specked lenses, from The Future Perfect. The vintage frames are somber, but maintain their sense of humor up close. This pair is cheeky and chic, with a (rare) quiet sense of irony.

As a statement, they stand alone and would be well-paired with a white tee, peg pants and military boots. If you really want to look sharp, however, you'd be well advised to pick up a few F/W 2009 pieces to pair them with. These runway looks from Trovata (below left) and Dries Van Noten (below right) would work it out for me.

I could also see them with this girlier, layered look from Nanette Lepore (below left) if simpler shoes were involved, or next to this whip-smart color combination from Boy Band of Outsiders (right).

One last bonus? The glasses do double-duty to filter out the kind of style-deficient boys who "don't make passes" at bespectacled beauties.

BLOODY BEETROOTS INVADE BOSTON

2009-04-01T17:15:00.006-04:00

The Bloody Beetroots are coming to Boston, and our good friend E-MARCE is hooking it up at Bill's Bar next Tuesday (April 7th). This is rumored to be the very last show at Bill's Bar (thankfully?), so we're pretty certain things are going to get crazy.

Get advanced tickets here:
http://www.wanttickets.com/embrace

amazing.

2009-03-30T17:00:00.004-04:00

J-POP is way too underrated, yall.

MINMI - "The Perfect Vision"

shadow dancer.

2009-03-25T16:14:00.002-04:00

I know that I'm hella late on the bloghaus boat, but Shadow Dancer are fucking killing it lately. If Surkin and SebastiAn had an illegitimate lovechild, it would be this. I'm saying this with full confidence after witnessing their fuckawesome show at Metropolis (Montreal) this past weekend.

Normally, I'm not such a huge fan of the stuff Boys Noize Records puts out, but this is too good to pass up. Hints of ghetto-house, glitch, French-touch. Get into it:

Shadow Dancer - "Infinite Lies"

Shadow Dancer - "Poke"

newest member of ON THAT TIP, yall:

pop-pop-pop-pop.

2009-03-19T04:23:00.008-04:00

yall.

Here are some of the tracks I've been dropping around Boston.

Que is essentially Slovakia's answer to all of the bullshit electro that has been filtering through der bloghaussphere lately. This has a fucking killer 808 synth drop; I can't get enough of it.

Que - "Let's Go To My Place"

This guy is probably my favorite. Those zany Japs are always up to something. Check out this batshit crazy disco-clash-electro-funtime-dance-party-USA stuff from Ridé. Reverse-vocals, beatmashing, discolines? OK, sure, whatever you say dude.

Ridé - "Fantasy"

Ridé - "Don't Worry"

Don Diablo looks like a Euro-bro that I could probably chill with - the kind that I can drink a few Heinekens with while we talked about our favorite "barber spa" or something. Despite the fact he takes this hooligan disco thing too seriously, I think he's doing it right. Check it out:

Don Diablo - "Hooligans Never Surrender"

SEE U @ PAPER TONIGHT KIDS,

Zelda 64 - Fairy Fountain (ROGUEWAVES REMIX)

It is with my great honor that I give you the second official ROGUEWAVES remix!

During our last party, we dropped a familiar tune from Zelda: Ocarina of Time which got everybody going. They wanted more and suggested we do something with it; so we placed a synth drop and floating piano line around it, beatmashed the fuck out of it until it didn't sound that great (our signature move), and then here you go.

Definitely not as hard as our former Televandals remix, but the source material wasn't hard to begin with.

Here's hoping you enjoy.

WHAT THE FUCK ....

2009-03-13T09:55:00.004-04:00

As some of you may or may not know , fear is never a part of the OnThattip.Info dojo. However, on this crisp and clear March morning I found myself afraid. Very very very afraid, and I invite you to share in the official sum of all fears

oh and free E-marce

x. MisterGirl666

Rumor has it...

2009-03-12T23:44:00.003-04:00

...that ONTHATTIP.INFO has a new contributor, who will gift us with live show coverage and band interviews; I'm sure she has some other tricks up her sleeve as well. That's the only clue I'll give you for now, with another to come still this week...

Who is our mystery woman?

Privus 1-Year Anniversary + Daniel Hernandez Runway Show - Thursday 3/19

2009-03-12T22:26:00.005-04:00

Before I turn in for the evening (yes, before 11pm...I have a big week coming up!), I want to invite you all to the Privus Lounge 1-Year Anniversary, the launch of Thursday Fashion Night, and a runway show with clothes by Daniel Hernandez, co-styled by myself. Does it get more stylish than that? Oh wait- yes it does. Our own Zak Broman (Roguewaves + ONTHATTIP) and Michael V (the pill) are DJing the press/RSVP reception from 6pm-8:30pm, and on until 10.

ONTHATTIP.INFO, from the underground to beyond...

I'll be posting some exclusive preview snaps from the fitting in the next couple of days, as shot by Christopher Huang last Sunday.

Stay tuned later this evening for news on the 3/19 runway show I styled with Boston designer Daniel Hernandez. I am lucky to be working with him, and I can't wait to give you the rundown. Your dictator has been busy!

INTERVIEW: EDGARD'S EXCLUSIVE FRIDAY THE 13th EVENT

2009-03-12T01:50:00.006-04:00

ON THAT TIP sits down with our good friend Edgard to talk about his exclusive upcoming event this Friday (the 13th!) featuring Bostonian heavy-hitters DJ Knife, BREK.ONE, and The Bladerunners. Edgard continues to carry that underground party torch which you have all come to appreciate lately. This guy is putting 110% into his parties, and it's very easy to see.

So, Edgard. Tell us about yourself.

To start, I want to say that I'm excited to be able to host an event like this one. I'm tired of that old downtown Boston club scene. There is a new and fresh music scene that has emerged in Boston. These kids come out to party, enjoy the music, and have a real good time. I've hosted several events in and around Boston, and I like the more "underground" vibes from these parties. I don't do this to be cool. I do it for the music, the people, to put on a dope party, and to have a good time. I've stayed true to that.

Some of my past events and collaborations have been:
SoundBomb Republik (Goodlife Bar)
Re:Fresh w/ Kid Sister (Z-Square Lounge)
Concepts Pre-Release Party (Z-Square Lounge)
Old School Classic Jamz w/ The Awesome Two (Z-Square Lounge)
Disco-nnection w/ Dj Supreme One & Brenden Wesley (Middlesex)
H U M P 2nd Wednesdays w/ Stretch Armstrong (Goodlife Bar)

The list can go on.

I'm just here to host cool & interesting events, hang out with some chill people who seem to "get it" and have a good time doing it. I'm a simple guy, with simple desires.

What inspired the slasher-flick theme?

I love old school horror films. I've been a fan of the Friday the 13th series since I was a young lad & since the 13th falls on a Friday this month, why not.

What made you choose the line-up?

Ahhh, the line-up. These guys are frigging dope as far as versatility, musical style, keeping the crowd dancing. They're also friends of mine that want to rock the house and put on a dope show. Hip-hop, classics, electro, gutter house - everything. Expect these guys to keep this crowd jumpin'.

What can one expect going to this event?

You can expect a spot that the underground party goers love to go to and have a kick-ass time. The music is being played by some of Bostons dopest DJs.

The drinks are going to be super cheap (none of that $12 glass of fucking vodka). Plus we have flashing lights, sick visuals by Zak Broman, dance, dance, and more DANCE!

This dance party is the first of many. I would love for these parties to be a raging success, and for everyone to have a good experience. I'm even doing giveaways all night as well.

apologies.

2009-03-12T01:38:00.005-04:00

YALL ;

Just want to apologize for the lack of posts up in here - as you may or may not have known, we've all been busy with our pursuits in the name of partying, making $, playing music, and hanging out with all of you kids almost every night.

Please welcome us back as we try to fill you in on what's hot in Boston once again. Nothing will stop us from giving you the premiere underground parties, information, music, and fashion tips that you so very much deserve. We have upcoming gigs this weekend at Vinalia (Back Bay) with Roxy Cottontail. Then we'll see you again at Middlesex Lounge with our good friends at Illius Rock.

Will we see you at Paper and Campus as well? MAYBE, MAYBE . . .

Anyway, stay posted, and just know that we're hella sorry.

TOMORROW NIGHT!

2009-02-27T15:03:00.000-05:00

Lots going on tonight, between my boys' crazy house party tonight (scroll down to the previous post), Retro Night, and Giantess at the pill. My other half and I have not been able to get enough of Giantess lately; I'm particularly hooked on Tuff N Stuff, a steady, synth-heavy tune that gets stuck in your head even when you only remember roughly 2 of the words. Which, for us, are "pirate ship". Enjoy this power-packed Friday night, and perhaps one or all of the ONTHATTIP crew will see you tonight, depending on where you end up.

Casting this Sunday, 3/1 - I need girls for an upcoming runway show!

2009-02-24T20:44:00.004-05:00

I'm pleased to say that I will be aiding in the production of a runway show on March 19th, showcasing the designs Daniel Hernandez. His fabulous clothes, which range from minimalist tailored pieces to diaphanous couturesque gowns, transcend the work of other successful Boston designers I've seen. It's nice to find true style in this city.

We are casting girls for the March show, this Sunday, March 1st a 3pm, at DH Studios on Clarendon and Newbury! I'd love to see you there if you fit the bill, or generally defy requirements with your level of fierceness...

CLICK FOR DETAILS!
