A documentary filmed by Ruth Bioletti in 2013. The Kerouac Effect is an event that has been running for seven years in Auckland, New Zealand. Produced by the homegrown Beat Poet Shane Hollands, who rounds up a team of talented poets and musicians who are are randomly thrown together to produce material for the show. 

It celebrates the extraordinary life of American writer/poet Jack Kerouac on his birthday March 12th. The KE fever has spread to Wellington in New Zealand and Melbourne in Australia. The theme for KE 2013 was 'On The Road' inspired by Kerouac's famous book of the same name. Hollands sums up it " I really enjoy poetry and music and the possibilities that the KE allows".

The Neo-Kalashnikovs & Their Italian Record Label: White Zoo Records

The band mailed off 30 copies of our "Turn the Tables/Gorgeous Baby Studio/Live E.P" to Italy last week. Was happy with the product we sent over so hopefully our man Sergio can help flick around our copies before we get our first official vinyl released pressed up. He's a really onto it dude and his awesome label is White Zoo Records. They've released some great releases and some sick punk records. I especially like the glam-rock band Guido who are kick ass and remind me of The Darkness. Here is a link to their latest single and video below:

Fashion Designer John Varvatos starts a new Major Record Label in the U.S.A

Pictured: Mr Varvatos with his friend Alice Cooper

The Well-known fashion designer, John Varvatos has started a new record company John Varvatos Records. It will formally launch sometime this year and will have Varvatos serving as the curator as well as president of the label which will see him signing new acts as well as releasing high profile reissues and compilations. The collaboration will bring together two distinct brands with a goal of releasing timeless records under the imprint's focus of "genuine music in the spirit of legends."

The John Varvatos brand has previously been involved with the launch of high-profile campaigns featuring artists such as Willie Nelson, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Chris Cornell, Joe Perry, Velvet Revolver, Green Day, Gary Clark Jr., Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top and Dave Matthews. Legendary rock band KISS are currently the face of the company's spring 2014 campaign. In 2008, Varvatos took over the iconic CBGB's location for one of his New York storefronts which has since hosted free shows from artists like Guns N' Roses, Jane's Addiction, Slash, Tom Morello, The Roots and many others.Varvatos comments; “Music has always been my big passion and an energy force in my life. As a result, my brand is deeply rooted in it as well. The connection between fashion and music is undeniable and symbiotic. In Republic Records, I have found the perfect partner to create a new music platform. Their success stands unparalleled when it comes to finding and nurturing new talent.” 

Republic Records is home to Lorde  and Mr Varvatos label could be the one to release her next record , but only if it's not to rock centric otherwise he needs The Neos haha :)
