So this friday saturday and sunday the great people who run the city of Los Angeles have decided to shut down 2 major freeways there they intersect, the interstate 10 and 405 which will cause the greatest traffic jam of all time!  Which many of us will not leave our houses this weekend to avoid be caught in the carmageddon. This video clip will explain it all.

Just caught up with the homie Darin Maki (@belloblock) via FB and saw that his crew from Tokyo rolled out to the international street ball competition in Paris France this last week. Cant wait to catch some video footage of the showdown.

Shot from last years competition.

Yesterday  I ran into my good friend BJ (Crooks) down on the Plaza and he was with one of the Crooks team riders Mark Contreras at the Crooks & Castles HQ.  Come to find out that Mark is from Newport Beach and has been surfing since really young, and after watching his current video i can see that he has pure raw talent because he can rip.  Here at MOSLEY TRIBES we are all about supporting our local homies and Mark is for sure one of them.  Mark had a minute so he came upstairs and was super stoked to try on the MOSLEY TRIBES Burke in Tortoise.  Be on the look out for Mark surfing his local breaks of Newport and San Clemente.

I have been in a dry spell when it has come to new music, but when had the opportunity to see Sacramento based quartet Sister Crayon live @ Spaceland back in the fall of 2010 i was instantly hooked.  The refreshing and ethereal sound of Sister Crayon was a welcoming sound that really moved the crowd and with there new release i am continually impressed by the creativity and high caliber musicianship.

Sister Crayon started out as something small and quiet at first,  vocalist Terra Lopez started as a solo artist playing classical guitar and pre-programmed beats on a loop pedal to attentive house crowds. With the addition of members Dani Fernandez (MPC 1000 and Microkorg), Nicholas Suhr (Drums and Percussion) and Jeffrey LaTour  (Keyboards, Synths, Guitars, etc.),  Sister Crayon has emerged as a four-piece whose emotional live performances along with their styles of ambiance, hip-hop, and “hysteria” have created a stir with their EP release, “Enter Into Holy (or)ders”. With their debut LP entitled “Bellow” that was released this week.  The song Souls of Gold (above) is my favorite off their recent EP release.

SC recently collaborated with the talented photographer Eliot Lee Hazel and really killed it.  The photography is really on point and the refreshing landscape of the sea paired with early American settler themes is very interesting.

Check out Sister Crayon website or Facebook and pick up the most recent full album Bellow via Amazon here

I have to say that this is one of the best skate videos i have seen in a while, it was shot on the Canon 7D.  Amazing editing and effects, Mexcio City is always in the back of my head as a place that i want to explore.  Just the raw grittiness of Distrito Federal is great backdrop for this video.
