What we do and how we do it so well

Tired of t-shirts that are uncomfortable and don't fit individual personalities, we were searching for something fresh and unique. We finally found what we were looking for but the brands that sold the clothing were high end, exclusive, and expensive. So, with this in mind, we made it our goal to solve this problem as well as others and create a high-end, exclusive, and inexpensive clothing brand that would cater to the consumer. Masculine, Feminine, Black, White, Purple, Green or whatever you want to call it, we are a little bit of everyone and everything. We represent hype beasts, sneaker heads, high society, the fashionable, the jocks, fixie fiends, the British, the world traveler, trend-setters, the consumer and whomever else you can think of. We are a little cocky and we have the vision, but to be in the business of making clothing you have to be a little out there. To put it in perspective...we are not out there, we are right here and we are right now.
Great personal style is made up of a certain percentage of "always" items and methods, mixed with a certain percentage of "sometimes" fashions, and a certain percentage of "nevers". -Scott Schuman

Caroline Smith & the Good Night Sleeps

Not really sure how to describe what I saw the other night, but I think it was one of the best live performances I have seen, period. The band consists of Caroline Smith, Arlen Peiffer, Alex Ramsey, and Jesse Schuster. May I say myself, that this is a fine collection of individuals. Got to chill with them after the show and we enjoyed some college hospitality. The guys are real down to earth and love music . I'm not saying they like their music cause they play it, but they really love music and you feel it while they play. I have three things to say about Caroline: 1) She plays a banjo, big props, 2)watch out Jenny lewis and 3) When she opened her mouth to sing the first song, she melted my heart. I mean damn, her voice is that of an angel. I now realize, that when I came across them two years ago online, I should have paid more attention, because heed my words, this band is SOLID. So enough about the people, you want to hear about the music right? Right! The CD is a quick 40 minutes of alternative acoustic folk bliss that I am am listening to at this very moment for the third time. It is just the "ill na na"(thats some Longbranch lingo for ya'll before you play there on Feb 12). Caroline's commanding voice demands great musical backing, which the band takes care of with ease with acoustic guitars, banjo, keyboards, harmonica, and light drums. It is a shame they did not get an encore, because Caroline can rap! So when you go to see them (you will) make sure to start the damn encore because it is such a treat. Check out their webpage at www.myspace.com/carolinesmithmusic and check out some of their tracks. My personal favorites are "Grizzly Bear" and "Where has Sally Gone?" Keep the good music coming, cause we are listening!

Their record can also be purchased from iTUNES or the following record shops:
The Electric Fetus (Minneapolis)
Treehouse Records (Minneapolis)
Eclipse Records (St. Paul)
Record Breakers (Chicago)
