IVY LOVELL: Cut Flowers

ANAGRAM

In my opinion, they were the gold metal winners of Oshawa and the most truly wicked live band in Toronto.

Anagram's last show ever! On Friday the 13th to boot! At the Silver Dollar. The Soupcans and Cut Flowers opened up, and killed it!

I released a limited edition photo zine to commemorate the bands history from start to finish.

Legends in their own right, David Waldman contritbuted some of his best Anagram shots of the early years and Dan Burke + Dan Vila wrote the really great short essays about them. Aminda helped in the final hour with the finishing touches!

If you haven't heard Anagram, I totally encourage you to download this mix of live tracks and demos the contributed to the zine.

I'm not going to say anymore about Anagram because who dwells on the dead, but I did say this a few days ago.

2012: 1 down, 11 to go

This January I released my Yearbook, in case you didn't know. Check out what NOW! had to say about it. Resonacity, Alan Cross, and AV Club Toronto all spoke some words about it too. If you want to see what my brain looks like, come check out the permanent instillation in The Shop, where my best work from 2011 is plastered on the walls. Upstairs I have a gallery show featuring 12 of the best photographs. It will be up until February's bitter end.

Much thanks to Mark Pesci, Hayden Menzies, Aminda Wood, Ryan Halpenny, Chrinine dont-know-yr-lastname, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple other people, for helping put all the photos up. Much love to all the bands that played too.

Here's some pictures I took for Melissa of her somewhat recently opened, incroyable hand-picked vintage store, Chosen. Which I love.

Castor Design launched their new line last weekend at Parts and Labor. They threw a free show with Cut Flowers ( Andre + Andrew of the Deadly Snakes + Chaaaz), Teenanger and METZ. It was beyond nuts. It's common knowledge that I love both Metz and Teenanger, and those dudes were all super tight on Saturday. Oh, yeah I broke my nose too.
