Kill Pixie art show opening reception with the sounds of Autolux
May 24, 2009
Merry Karnowsky Gallery is proud to present “I’ll Hit You Up Tomorrow,” a solo exhibition by Australian artist Kill Pixie . The opening reception will be hosted by actor Tim Roth, and the exhibition features a collaborative installation by Kill Pixie and the band Autolux.
Kill Pixie (Mark Whalen) began as a graffiti artist on the streets of Sydney, Australia. His medium of choice nowadays is mostly ink and acrylic on paper mounted to wood, and coated in shiny resin. Inextricably embedded in their geometric, candy-colored environments, Kill Pixie’s humanoid characters are like puppets compelled to enact roles prescribed by powers beyond their control. The machinery and structures are all made up of much smaller objects, giving the impression of a kaleidoscope opening up into ever more intricate worlds. Read more

Interview by: Dod M
Big Wheel Overseas Correspondent
Having recently seen Classics of Love perform in Aberdeen, I managed to get an interview with front man and (former member of Operation Ivy) Jesse Michaels.
Can You tell me what you have been doing since Operation Ivy and Common Rider?
Jesse Michaels –To give a brief synopsis: studied Buddhism, tried to go to school but it didn’t take, got drunk and fucked up, moved to Florida, tried to go to school again, got in trouble with the IRS, started Common Rider, got drunk and fucked up again, got several working class jobs and then started the new band.

Chapel of Thieves – Haunted Hearts
May 22, 2009
Chapel of Thieves is a band with a pretty distinct sound that reminds you of somber days and gloomy moods. Not that it’s a bad thing, in fact, it’s an interesting and creative spin on music clearly influenced by Punk. Chapel of Thieves isn’t exactly Read more
New York Dolls – The Clicks – at The Fonda Theater – Hollywood, CA
May 21, 2009
There are self-proclaimed Punk rock purists who insist that unless a band is 100% original members, they’re not worth seeing. These people insist if you weren’t there in the 70′s, you don’t deserve the reunion tour. They would tell you the New York Dolls died forever with Johnny Thunders. Hundreds of other people know a good show Read more
