It's been months...but we're back! Musician of Right Now!

Since the last time we blogged...SOOOO much has happened. Foremost and probably the most major change with Brash is that half of us moved to Southern California...now making Brash pretty much bi-coastal.

With the current move, I have a new favorite band that should definitely be mentioned here. I heard them in my first week here and they are amazing. The band is called Old Crow Medicine Show and they call their home Nashville, TN (also a stop on our Brash Does The South roadtrip)! I wish I would have heard these guys before the trip because they would have been a perfect addition to our driving music.
Aside from being cute and playing sexy instruments like the banjo, fiddle and stand-up base...these guys combine a delightful mix of american roots and rock and roll that make me smile. Check em' out!!!

Here is the band website.
And...the video to my favorite song on youtube.

Enjoy. xoxo.

Holiday Fun - Flint City Handmade Holiday Craft Market

Back to Flint we go! We had such a blast the last time we did a show with these guys and we are so excited to do it all again!

After DIY, we at Brash had to basically remake our entire collection because we sold out of almost everything we had. We are really excited to showcase all of our new goodies in Flint, which is our first show since DIY.

We are also really psyched to see all the fun crafts and vintage goodies that we know are gonna also be at the show. We hope to get some quality holiday shopping done while we're "working". :)

Hope to see everyone there!!!

DIY STREET FAIR = OUR BIGGEST SHOW EVER!

As the 20th quickly approaches I have been SUPER busy trying to prepare for this two day DIY showcase that promises to be pretty amazing. This event is not only our - Brashes - biggest show to date, but it's also the first time that organizers of the DIY Streetfair have put this together! It's gonna be a trial and error for us all and on some level it makes me feel a little bit better about the whole thing.

There is a ton of work to do! We are designing a whole new look for the display and also a new collection of goodies that are so far looking devine! It's gonna be a more classy and put together sort of Brash! This show is kind of like our baby starting high school. :)

So cross your fingers and come out to hang with us this coming weekend, September 20th and 21st on the corner of 9 mile and Woodward in Ferndale. This show runs alongside the Ferndale Art Fair. There will be tons of great indie designers, food, music, activities, and fun fun fun!!!

XO!

Musician Of Right Now

First of all...A HUGE thanks to Cat Power for maintaining her spot on the musician of the week for way longer...teehee.

Our new musician of the "week" is Mickey Avalon. We were introduced to this interesting fellow one Brash work night by our friend C-Life and were so amused by him that we decided to give him a hand. The first thing that really stands out about him is his look...it's kind of a mix between Iggy Pop, Marilyn Manson, an indie version of Eminem and our friends Chris and Shawn. He has some awesome tats and some of the most amazing beats we have heard in a while. His lyrics are pretty rediculous, i.e. The Dick Song and he has TONS of vid's on youtube including music videos plus some from his personal life.

He is for sure a good time and we CAN'T wait to see him live, asap!!!

BRASH RELATED::
As we plan the development for our up-and-coming website, ILOVEBRASH.COM, we are scouring the internet for sources of inspiration. Today's find by Janya is a cute niche site with an elegant layout:

As a web developer, I (Jacqui) am not crazy about the flow and navigation, but as a fellow designer, I appreciate the aesthetic appeal that no doubt drew my fashionable friend to this online boutique. Cheers to Jen and Jamie of Ban.do (2 more J's!)
