Example - Quick Preview!

I've missed you...

I'm well aware I have neglected this blog. I am a terrible blog-mother. Very sorry indeed.

Anyway, I have had somewhat good reason. Katie Burrett (.com) has had a very intense and amazing Summer! I've been lucky enough to do things like see Friendly Fires at Mallorca Rocks with my wonderful boyfriend, and work at Creamfields with team Mixmag... also have worked at a brilliant local festival called Brownstock... seen Snoop Dogg and De La Soul in Victoria Park... interned for Front Magazine... Met Diplo... There is just too much to put here! If I've had 3 days off to myself it has been very RARE... I'm not complaining though, I'm lucky to be so busy doing what I love. But there goes my justification of my lack of blogging. If I've been in the house, I've been editing or catching up on sleep. Possibly dying my hair.

My new website, which is being made by me (sort of), will be up in a few weeks. It will feature my recent foray into music photography, something I see being a big part of my future! And also some streetstyle work I've been doing with Armani Exchange recently.

So in conclusion - I'm not dead, and exciting stuff is coming! Bear with me...

ANDY WILLSHER: NME PHOTOGRAPHER

Continuing on mine and my flatmate Kevin's adventures (I do mention him quite a bit), Thursday night held for us a night of great importance... we attended the private view of Andy Willsher at The Hoxton Book Club. Lovely venue, really lovely guy! His work really held it's own because of the monochrome theme, his prints are currently on sale via his site and I lusted after a beautiful massive photograph of Amy Winehouse. Can see it going perfectly in my little bedroom!

I managed to get an interview with some juicy goss about Amy Winehouse and others... to be uploaded as soon as I get the mp3 from the dictaphone... The venue itself is lovely. Really original and raw, the lighting is not as focused on the work as I would like but then it's not always possible in a used space! Myself, Kevin and a few others are currently putting an exhibition on in a similar venue so it was great research, and was talking to the lovely Freya at TBC about how they set up.

THEM YOUTH

A great new band discovered on the grapevine, their new single Toothache (free to download here) is a fresh new take on indie, away from all the kooks-style mellow guitars and whiney singing, more like a chilled Kasabian with a dance edge. Very much my sort of thing! Can see big things for them, especially after their UK tour and playing KOKO in November. Can't wait to catch them live and review it! Also worth a listen is the moody "white light passenger" which I have just fallen in love with! Definitely one for fans of Massive Attack, it weirdly manages to be unsettling and calming at the same time.....
