Are You A Melon Or A Lemon?


Silverspoon attire and graphic designer Kate Moross have teamed up to create a marvelous fruit-fashion-face-off. Melon or Lemon?

Two tee's have been designed with a Watermelon and Lemon print with Silverspoon's and Kate's logo's on the back.

The website shows how you can customise the shirts by creating fringe on the sleeves or  hem, going for the crop-chop, or buying a couple sizes too big to give an over-sized off the shoulder fit.


At £40 including P&P the t-shirts are a tad pricier than
your H&M basic but so worth it for the bold summery designs! 

So what are you? A melon or a lemon? I'm with Eliza...

Bitter Sweet Sentence For Doherty



Poor Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 6 months in prison after pleading guilty to cocaine possession (won't he ever learn?). But it seems the court has taken his musical talent and work commitments into account by giving Pete a release date of August 21st, 5 days before he is due to perform at the Reading and Leeds Carling Festival. How very considerate!

Judge David Radford who sentenced the singer stated; "From what I have heard and what I have read there is no doubt that you are a talented and successful musician. However, you have an appalling record of committed offences of the kind for which you fall to be sentenced today."
(When will the Doherty's and Lohan's of the world be sentenced like everyone else eh?)

Ticket holders for T in the Park and Oxegen however may be disappointed as the troubled poet will more than likely still be behind bars when the festies occur. Can't win em all Pete!

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls...

Who: The Computers, Dz Deathrays, United Fruit
What: Punk, Rock n Roll, Thrash Pop
Where: The Macbeth, Hoxton Distillery, London



Last night Hoxton brought the noise and embraced the sound of The Computers. Headlining the night, Screaming Al Kershaw and the gang demonstrated their unique act in promotion of their recently released album 'This Is The Computers'.

The support acts held their ground. First up were Glaswegian rockers 'United Fruit' who did just that, rocked out. Lead singer Stuart Galbraith delivered a solid vocal performance amongst a well constructed set of loud, in your face tunes taken from their EP 'Mistress, Reptile Mistress'.
Aussie dudes 'DZ Deathrays' came second on the bill and, technical glitches aside, thrashed their way through a host of hard hitting drum and noise filled tracks. These party boys sum themselves up pretty well on their website saying; 'Started playing house parties will most likely end at one.' Enough said.

United Fruit







Then...came the men in white. Al, Aiden, Nic and Sonny (above) took to the stage like the pro's they already are, laying down a tight set of Punk n Roll.
Al's cheeky Devonshire charm washed well with the crowd, treating us to some true rock n roll antics by taking to the bar-top guitar in hand and mixing with the crowd. Whether the audience knew the fella's or not, they lapped it up.




Towards the end of the set Al professed '...who'd have though it, dreams really do come true'. With the exposure these Exeter lads are getting, including prime time plays on Radio 1, it seems his statement is undoubtedly true.

The venue itself was perfect for this kind of line-up with it's quirky vibe and slightly grungy feel (according to the ladies loo's 'Hell Is Full Of Promises'). The small and intimate space only intensified the immense sound that these bands created.




















From the corners of Australia, Scotland, and dear old Devon, 3 bands came together to create a night of ballsy tunes that did not disappoint, seeing The Computers truly steal the limelight.
Why? Because they are, in their own words, the mother f**king Computers.
