Finalmente se dio a conocer la rumoreada colaboración entre Gorillaz y Converse , para formar parte de la campaña anual Three Artists, One Song , cuya edición de este año fue bautizada como DoYaThing . En esta ocasión Damon Albarn , James Murphy y André 3000 unieron fuerzas para desarrollar un single que estará disponible como descarga gratuita en el website de Converse , el [...]

Since the whole idea of "selling out" is about as relevant and contemporary as woolly mammoths and the printed press, why not make a quid? Besides, nobody buys records anymore and staying in is the new going out. Anyway, that brief - albeit obtuse and conceited - rant aside, this is actually something I'm excited about. Jamie Hewlett (the visual side of Gorillaz) has already designed four trainers for Converse, so the pairing starts to make a lot of sense. To coincide with the four special edition trainers, Converse have [...]

A faixa DoYaThing faz parte do projeto Three Artists. One Song da Converse, onde três artistas se juntam para lançar uma música. Antes de ter James Murphy (ex-LCD Soundsystem), Gorillaz (banda de Damon Albarn) e Andre 300 (Outkast), o projeto contou com o trio Matt & Kim, Soulja Boy e Andrew WK, que lançaram a música I'm a Goner . DoYaThing estará disponível para download no site da Converse a partir do doa 23 de fevereiro, e uma versão estendida, de [...]

En años pasados, Converse se ha dado a la tarea de formar equipos integrados por 3 artistas para crear tracks colaborativos. Estas mezclas siempre son improbables y sorprendentes, como en la última colaboración, en la que estuvieron involucrados Matt & Kim, Andrew W.K. y Soulja Boy. La siguiente colaboración en esta serie parece ser la mejor y la más grande hasta ahora. En noviembre, Gorillaz anunció que haría un track para Converse, y también sabíamos que Jamie Hewlett había diseñado cuatro pares de tenis Converse, pero es hasta ahora que tenemos las piezas faltantes de este rompecabezas. El equipo [...]

Converse have announced a special 'three artists, one song' partnership with the unveiling of their 2012 footwear collection. The Gorillaz , Andre 3000 and LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy will collaborate on the track "DoYaThing" to celebrate a specially branded Chuck Taylor All Star Converse. Each group has diven genre defining musical talents and skills across a number of years highlighted by the Gorillaz for the Grammy winning track 'Feel Good Inc' with De La Soul for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals . A free download of the track will [...]

Drops February 23rd.

This is major. After a week plus of speculation and debate, we now know who will record along side the Gorillaz in this latest installment of Converse's "Three Artists. One Song" campaign. Many guessed that a member of Outkast would fill in at least one of these mysterious silhouettes from an earlier image . Those calling for André 3000 will be very pleased. While it is unfortunate that his counterpart Big Boi will not be participating, former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy should more than suffice as [...]

More info coming Thursday.

At the end of the month, Gorillaz will be releasing a brand new track for Converse , and, while we don't have any audio of the track, the band's virtual bassist and drummer Murdoc recorded a six minute statement about the song. The statement sees Murdoc discussing how amazing the track will be, and how it " is going to knock everything else Gorillaz have done out of the park." Along with the announcement of the track is the included artwork, which shows that there will be two mystery guests on [...]

Converse a invité Jamie Hewlett afin qu'il design une mini collection aux couleurs de Gorillaz . Le bassiste/graphiste s'est lâché sur l'indémodable Chuck Taylor et nous propose 4 paires reprenant l'univers graphique du groupe. J'ai personnellement un gros coup de cœur pour le modèle utilisant le camouflage du buggy qui figurait sur la pochette de leur premier album. Ces pompes sont censés être disponibles courant Février mais vous pouvez déjà les pré-commander ici pour environ 55 €.

This winter has certainly been having a bit of an identity crisis. One day it's an oddly beautiful spring day, and the next you are bundled up like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. Well, with a band like Conversations with Enemies laying down their groovy, bouncy rhythms, surf rock riffs, and joyous horn section, you might be transported to those lost summer days with your best pals and not a care in the world. The band will also have a new CD entitled Spooky available at PhilaMOCA tonight. Conversations with Enemies are playing host to former [...]
