French animation artist Cedric Berthier heard Now On’s song “All You Ever Knew” from their classic album “Tomorrow Already “and was instantly inspired to create this video. The trio, which includes Mayer Hawthorne (aka DJ Haircut) along with IX Lives (son of Larry “Squirrel” Demps of the legendary Dramatics) and Jackson Perry, dropped “Tomorrow Already” in 2008 just before Mayer’s debut.
Here’s some cool artwork for band gear designed by L.A.’s Brian Roettinger/Hand Held Heart, Montreal’s Seripop, and Chicago’s Jay Ryan/The Bird Machine. They lend a hand to styling Soundscreen Design’s summer collection featuring No Age, Gang Gang Dance, Deerhoof, Handsome Furs, Fucked Up, Liars, Battles, The National, and Pelican.
You can grab the gear (I like the Deerhoof hoodie) at record stores and specialty boutiques, along with Soundscreen Design’s and participating bands’ websites. It’s nice to see more art and thought going into merchandise, and Soundscreen Design is owned by Insoud aka the folks with other cool indie art projects.

Whenever I hear their music I can’t help but feel that spirit; they hold a special place in my heart.
A few months later, Noisettes announced that they would be taking a hiatus from performing while they worked on their second album. I was disappointed that this band would be off the music radar for some time and was uncertain …
