Banksy
Did I talk to you about Banksy???
He's the most famous Bristolian graffiti artist. He's much debated because he's a political activist, his art is engagé and subversive, using sometimes some slogans anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment.
At some point, it's really annoying because he is from Bristol and here, it's like Banksy here, Banksy there... According to the Bristolian, he's THE only artist from that city...They're so proud about him... But what he does is still good...
" Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. He became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s. Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

[...]Banksy started as a freehand graffiti artist 1992–1994[13] as one of Bristol's DryBreadZ Crew (DBZ), with Kato and Tes. He was inspired by local artists and his work was part of the larger Bristol underground scene.

Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Subjects often include rats, monkeys, policemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly. " (Source Wikipedia)
Lately, Banksy has created a controversial title sequence for The Simpsons.
The storyboard was apparently inspired by reports the show outsources the bulk of their animation to a company in South Korea.

Pat & The Liquor Boxx
During my trip in Chicago, I met via my friend Nat, millions of nice and interesting people.
Some tattoo artists, DJs, sailors, musicians,...long is the list.
But I met, in particular that guy, which is the flatmate of my friend.
Let me tell you more about him.
Patrick
The artist
That guy called Patrick from Chicago, is the most interesting artist that I ever met.
He is a very brilliant guitarist. I saw him played some Hendrix to the perfection. I had the occasion to see him playing some really nice Blues, obviously he's from Chicago, so the Blues music, he's got this in his blood.
What I liked about Pat, is that he is very laid back, open minded, clever and he can talk about everything. He knows a lot about the history of Chicago, about the history of the music, especially the Blues and the Jazz. He can talk to you for hours about for the Blues of Chicago, which is really interesting. He used to live as well for a while in New Orleans, so he knows a lot about the Jazz over there (and he gave me loads of advices about New Orleans, cf. next post).
Really nice guy...
As a guitarist, he's a part of a band called "Liquor Boxx".
Liquor Boxx
The Band
That trip was the occasion for me to discovering different things such as music, films, paintings...
For now lets be focused on music and this band Liquor Boxx.
I did not have the chance to see them in live but through Patrick, I discovered their music.
They're from Chicago and as they're saying, they're playing a "SEXY ASS ROCK MUSIC".
They're influences are the Blues, Rock, Alternative...
They likes to call themselves for fun the "Zeppendrix Vaughn", the spiritual sons of Led Zep, Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Everything is said in that last sentence...
Don't forget to check their Myspace and/or Facebook for more informations and musics -->Myspace / Facebook
I selected for you two of their tracks...Enjoy!!!
