Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick, Perry Farrell and the latest fall 2011 models-at-large, The Roots, are some artists who have slipped on John Varvatos and played model for the rock 'n' roll designer throughout the years. An avid rock fan, Varvatos, who opened his first boutique at the old CBGBs location in 2008, showcased some never-before-seen live rock royalty photographs from the archives of Rock Paper Photo inside his SoHo store this Saturday. Partnering with Varvatos, also an...

Devilish slide guitars, howling distorted vocals and blues riffs out the wazoo define New York based duo and ex Deli Artist of the Month The Dead Exs (in the picture), comprised of David Pattillo (vocals/guitar) and Wylie Wirth (drums). Together, they have exhumed the sultriness of retro-rock with garage rock intensity on their album "Resurrection", available now and for free here . Rock 'n roll- inspired and NY music-devoted fashionista/designer, John Varvatos, will be presenting this pair of musicians at his store on Bowery on Thursday, December 1 as part of the John Varvatos Thursday Nite Live [...]

Sex and sin city doesn't get more decadent than this. Well, sure it does, but if don't feel like putting on your dancing shoes, you can indulge in Bangkok's debauchery without leaving the comfort of your 5-star hotel room -- or with a quick elevator trip down to those spotless bathrooms in the lobby. Just leave your inhibitions in the taxi that drops you off at the front door, and let the fun and games begin! Oh, and if you happen to be gay, you'll need your iPhone and a profile on Grindr, [...]

No new album announced by our beloved The Roots, just an "impro" nameless for the shooting of designer John Varvatos' fall/winter 2011. The video was shot in one take at the Republic Airport on Long Island. It goes just below. By the way, Questlove will be in concert in Paris on September 10th at the Cabaret Sauvage to close the festival Jazz à la Villette. You can already buy your ticket here.

The latest collaboration between fashion and music. This time legendary hiphop band, The Roots, teamed up with John Varvatos to release this video for the Fall / Winter 2011 collection. Pretty interesting collaboration as this isn't exactly a pairing that one would assume would be a great pairing, but we'll have to wait and see [...]

"I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear. This man said, 'It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.'" -- The Smiths, "This Charming Man" I've been called a lot of things in my time, but "under-dressed" is not one of them. If anything, I've tended to err on the side of dressing too formally. "Why are you so dressed up?" If I heard it once, I heard it a trillion times when I was living in New York City. "Let's go camping next weekend." That one [...]

To help usher in Fashion Week, Reckless Sons played John Varvatos' "Thursday Night Live" showcase last week. It has been about two years since I last saw the Reckless Sons play and the band has gotten a couple of new members and their live show has gotten tighter. A few years back, I compared the band to the Dream Syndicate but the band's new material has them moving in a British blues-rocks direction, taking influences from early Rolling Stones and The Faces. The band's brand of high-energy rock-n-roll was amplified by a packed house and free beer [...]

Have you grown weary of the multitude of music blogs out there written by over-analytical, hyper-critical geeks for whom rock 'n' roll is more of a theoretical construct than a real-life, flesh-and blood visceral experience? Well, get ready to encounter a new take on music blogging from an unusual vantage point. Some rockers may know fashion god John Varvatos as the man whose store now occupies the former CBGB site (hey, don't hold it against the guy, he didn't put the club out of business), but Varvatos has hosted many a music event in his stores, [...]

At the very end of his recent vitriolic, expletive-laced rant on a Guns N' Roses message board, Axl Rose added the words "For the rest of you… Surprise gigs comin'!!" almost unnecessarily. However, it seems he wasn't just blowing smoke. As it turns out, in the wee hours last night, the band played [...]
