Oh yeah, in case you haven’t heard, they’ve cancelled Rock the Bells in DC which was scheduled to take place this weekend as well as in NY on Oct 4th & 5th.

Chang Weisberg, founder and owner of Guerilla Union states: “First and foremost, it is with great sadness and disappointment that we must cancel the Washington, DC and New York City Rock the Bells dates due to lack of ticket sales. I, along with our staff, the artists, and all of the sponsors, media partners, local promoters, and radio stations involved are thankful for our supporters and the fans that planned on attending. It’s extremely unfortunate that we can’t complete the last half of the 10th Anniversary Rock the Bells tour. We did everything in our power to save the show. Unfortunately, the financial loss would have been devastating. This festival has been ten years in the making.  I am truly sorry we could not produce the show for all the fans who did buy their ticket in support of.”

Full refunds will be honored at the location where fans purchased their tickets.  Online purchases will be credited back in the next 5-7 days.

Obey’s fall awareness campaign shines a spotlight on the continuing fight of Native Americans to reclaim land and water that is rightfully theirs.

Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Supremacy Clause, declares the treaties made with Native Americans as the “supreme law of the land”—but for over 200 years, the US government has consistently broken them. These legally binding contracts contained promises for recognizing tribes’ rights to live self-governed and undisturbed on their own land, with religious freedom; to hunt, fish, and gather natural resources; and to have such benefits as health care, education, and, in some cases, financial payments for lands previously sold to the government. We have a responsibility to honor the promises that have been made.

Instead of just creating a lookbook for Fall 2013, Akomplice shot a number of artists and then wheatpasted their images around Denver.

Artists include Big Gigantic, Griz, Paper Diamond, Two Fresh, Michal Menert and Catch Lungs, all of whom were captured in their natural element, including the props and vices of their choice.  Pieces from the collection are here.  Click each image to enlarge:
