The Death of a Salesman: Review

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor  The possibilities that encapsulate the American Dream are oft dramatized but rarely grow old. It is an ideal that has arguably grown more relevant over time. The principles of the free market – boundless prosperity, success and the upward social mobility for the family and children - are as intoxicating as they are perplexing. Rarely does a dream seem so close and yet so far away. It is almost a dystopian quandary that we’re not...

Live Review: Belle and Sebastian

By Adam Turner (AdamTurnerPR) 11.5.15, Methodist Central Hall, Westminster After floating around the stage for 90 minutes, dancing to the sound of his band's subtle, harmonious tones, Stuart Murdoch proved last night that he is still as classy and jovial a performer as he ever has been. The Glaswegian musician, who has been Belle and Sebastian's front man for almost 20 years, lit up an otherwise dull Monday evening in London, in front of an audience of devoted fans at...

Turner Prize 2015: London collective makes the shortlist

A London collective of young artists, architects and designers has made the Turner Prize shortlist. Assemble works across the art, architecture and design. The 18 members began working together in 2010, seeking to address the typical disconnection between the public and the process by which places are made. The collective champions a working practice that is "interdependent and collaborative", according to its website,  seeking to actively involve the public as both participant and collaborator in the on-going realisation of the...

Ten years of the CREEKSIDE OPEN in Deptford

Beside a creek in south London’s Deptord, is the Art in Perpetuity Trust, or A.P.T, a warehouse of cooperative studios and gallery space. In 2005, A.P.T celebrated its tenth anniversary by launching an open competition for visual artists, CREEKSIDE OPEN. A further ten years on and the bi-annual competition is still going strong. We caught up with CREEKSIDE OPEN organiser, Liz May, to find out more about the competition at the end of its first decade. “At that time, ten...

Hay Fever: Review

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor Bohemian: Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, with few permanent ties, involving musical, artistic, or literary pursuits. A warm evening in the West End saw the familiar huddle of theatregoers congregate around the glistening Duke of York, chilled glasses of white wine hung from the newly restored balcony and a breeze of tobacco hung in the air outside the main entrance. The quintessentially British venue plays...

Record Review: Hiatus Kaiyote – Choose Your Weapon

By Kane Power (ElHeavio) Hiatus Kaiyote floated into my scope after an impressive ‘live sound-check’ video was posted on a drum forum following the release of their debut album ‘Tawk Tomahawk’, in 2012. The song posted wasn’t actually on that album; it was a version of the song ‘Shaolin Monk Motherfunk’ which coincidentally is the first song proper on their new release, ‘Choose Your Weapon’. Having a three-year old song as the opener of your brand new record might be a...

Blur To Launch Their Own Ice Cream – ‘The Magic Whip’

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food As part of a slightly bizarre marketing campaign to promote their brand new album – The Magic Whip – Blur have announced that they’ll be creating their own Ice Cream. Teaming up with The Lickators, a company that’s already worked on Music-related flavours that include Jiggy Pop and John Lemon, Blur’s very own Magic Whip is a “Dairy Vanilla Custard Ice Cream rippled with Raspberry Sauce” and will be available on the band’s upcoming...

LOIS: Getting crafty in Peckham

A business focussing on London designer-makers is getting creative down in Peckham. The best part? You can join in the fun. Midwifery isn’t usually a profession one associates with art, but that’s the transition Helen Ward went through a few years ago, when she ditched the NHS-issue uniform for something a little more colourful (and hopefully less itchy). “I was training to be a midwife and realised that it just wasn't what I wanted to be doing, and I’d always...

Event – ‘Slipknot: Dysfunctional Family Portraits’

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend Paul Harries' latest photography exhibition. To celebrate the launch of his new collection of photos, titled 'Slipknot: Dysfunctional Family Portraits' the Strand Gallery is displaying Harries' work from 6th - 17th May. As a long-time fan of Slipknot's music and regular reader of Kerrang! Magazine (to whom Harries is a regular contributor) it was an absolute pleasure to view these striking images up close. Slipknot are a band with a storied history, and Paul has...
