Barnaby Barford.
I LOVE British artist Barnaby Barford's sinister, but humorous ceramic's. He creates these amazing unique pieces from a mix of found objects, mass-manufactured orniments and antique fugurines. Basically, I NEED. I WANT!

Sarah Lucas' N U D S.
A couple of weeks ago, I visited Sadie Coles HQ on Dover Street to see Sarah Lucas' Nuds. Her work frequently employs visual puns and bawdy humour and this collection of sculpture and photographic images was just what I expected. I wasn't that interested in the photography, naked girls with 'penises', but I did want to see her skin-like sausage sculptures made of stockings stuffed with wadding. Up close, they are quite grotesque and seem to have a mutated human form of some kind, like undeveloped giant fetuses or genetically modified human-worm hybrids. Go and see it quick, 'cos the exhibition ends this weekend!
Sadie Coles HQ, 13 Dover Street, London W1. 12th October - 7th November.
Kap Bambino w/ Hello Sunshine LIVE @ Old Blue Last.
The amazing Kap Bambino are back in London Town tonight, to cause yet another ruckus down at Vice magazine's local drinking hole the Old Blue Last. Blaring out their unique sound of fast and frantic electro-punk meets Grunge rock and Goth-pop.
Kap Bambino aka Orion & CarolineKB's latest single 'Dead Lazers'
Last time they played at Old Blue Last, I was convinced the floor upstairs was going to cave in from all the overexcited riot style moshing and broken furniture, even though this is quite normal at one of their gigs. Tomorrow, KB will be supported by fellow French noise rockers Hello Sunshine and DJ'S Matt Irwin, Ricky Haley & Cerys Thomas (Liars Club).
Hello Sunshine
Kap Bambino's new album 'Blacklist' out now on Because, available to download on iTunes. Their forthcoming EP 'Batcaves' out soon, includes remixes by Hello Sunshine, Jackson, Bobmo and Maton.
TONIGHT @ the Old Blue Last 38 Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch London E2. 7.30PM. KB on stage around 10PM.
