It is always nice to see creative projects which embrace multiple media. Goth-industrial musician Bryan Lee of Snuttock works with a creepy recurring visual motif of antique dolls. See the photo of the artist below by Blue Flame Photography. Also check out the video by Laurie A. Smith for Snuttock’s Catharsis.
The fabulous Lina Lecaro just did an in-depth LA Weekly feature on long-running industrial club Das Bunker. It is interesting to read the history of Rev John and Franck’s regular Das Bunker shindig. Maybe something about Que Sera in Long Beach is good for old skool clubs, as Das Bunker started there and Release the [...]
I was just checking up on Twist Magazine, which is a cool alternative webzine out of Sweden that I like. You’ll need a translator for a lot of the articles but they feature some great concert photos from current tours with bands like Dimmu Borgir and Skinny Puppy. Twist just put up a massive seven [...]
Our old school DC friends Ego Likeness have extended their tour in support of their recent album Breedless and if you haven’t had a chance to catch them live, you really should rectify that. I really like this album a lot. Donna Lynch has a beautiful haunting and powerful voice that sounds so good poured [...]
Maxim Golovatskikh might be hot and in a band, but he is a butcher. Well, actually a year ago that was pretty literally true, on multiple levels, but he has been in jail awaiting trial since then. See Maxim Golovatskikh was a goth boy in a band who worked as a butcher to pay his [...]
So Linda Holmes of MSNBC just posted an article where she called FOX’s American Idol front-runner Adam Lambert “self-indulgent and not particularly creative”. I know FOX and MSNBC are competitive with one another, but I just think Linda Holmes is way off-base. She goes on to say: “But what, exactly, is the Adam Lambert constituency [...]
Okay, I’d like to take this opportunity to make a public service announcement. Trent Reznor announced that he was giving away free downloads of his new Strobelight album, produced by Timbaland, on April first. This seemed both hilarious and topical as Blue Blood has covered goth-industrial music since 1992 and even the Blue Blood precursor [...]
Last month, Blue Blood made a submissions site live for models and photographers and writer/photographers to submit to various Blue Blood projects, mostly BlueBlood.com and, to a lesser extent, BlueBlood.net. Blue Blood enjoys publishing a variety of body types, both male and female and in between. The most important thing for modeling for Blue Blood [...]
Finding great new music is always a good thing. It seems like it should happen all the time in this glorious digital age we are living in. I mean, artists can go straight to fans without the intervention of stodgy labels and, because everybody can post their opinion online, the fans can be the ones [...]
Since a bunch of folks really enjoyed the fun Hex Hollywood gallery we recently released, I thought it would be enjoyable to catch up with Xian and give everybody a bit of insight into the mind and motivations of the creative force behind these events. Xian is dedicated and involved in the Los Angeles underground [...]
