HUNTER LONGE | ART EXHIBIT | TIMESINFINITY GALLERY | SEATTLE
If you're down in Seattle this Friday, June 5th check out artist and COMUNE collaborator Hunter Longe's exhibit at the Timesinfinity gallery. Join us as we welcome Hunter Longe to evo's Timesinfinity Art Gallery for the month of June. Hunter’s work is an attempt to reveal a parallel reality by merely re-presenting the given and often mundane. His destruction and recreation of context points out the subjective in an apparently objective scientific outlook. His work spans several mediums including drawing, painting, collage, animation and video installation.  The compilation and juxtaposition of mechanical, industrial, or geometric forms with human anatomy and organic forms provides a ground for questioning modern technology and industry: the overall gain from it, our dependence on it, its effects on the environment and its influence on culture, economy, and sexuality. Incorporating imagery from old comic books, anatomy books, mechanical diagrams, TV and films with that of my everyday life, the work becomes a retro-futuristic attempt at finding meaning and placement in a world so affected by and resulting from scientific and industrial progress (if one can call it progress).  When: Friday, June 5th, 7-10PM  Where: evo | 122 NW 36th Street in Fremont  What else: Yup, there’ll be some beverages provided by our friends at Pyramid so make sure to kick off your weekend with us, the Fremont Art Walk and Hunter Longe!

	YELLE | COMUNE FALL/HOLIDAY 09 T-SHIRT | NUKE LA
French electropop group YELLE just did a photoshoot featuring COMUNE’s NUKE LA tees. Nice! Now Let’s dance! Yelle rose to fame on MySpace when she posted a song titled "Short Dick Cuizi", mocking Cuizinier, a member of the Parisian hip-hop group TTC. With producer and close friend GrandMarnier, Yelle has recorded a debut album Pop-Up, after her hit single "Je Veux Te Voir" (a finalised version of "Short Dick Cuizi"). The song, which samples the bassline from 20 Fingers' 1994 club hit Short Dick Man, received heavy airplay on MTV. Check them out on MySpace Here
	COMUNE PRO NIMA JALALI | COVER | POP MAGAZINE
COMUNE snowboard pro Nima Jalali was featured on the cover of Australia’s POP magazine along with an interview.  In their own words... We’ve themed this issue The Creative’s Issue. For the cover story we chat to Nima Jalali about what he’s currently working on. There’s interviews with two Australian’s making it big in North America, snowboarder Ryan Tiene and filmmaker Jan Snarksi. Oh and did we mention Rob Dyrdek talks time travel?  There’s hog riding with Jeremy Jones, JP Walker, Jon Kooley and their friends. We’ve jammed in a huge 2009 outerwear guide, mixed things up with reviews of Triumph’s new badass cafe racer, the Thruxton 900, BMW’s Mini Cooper JCW and a guide to the intricacies of coffee and wine. Salt Lake City local Josh Roberts gives you the knowledge on Brighton, Dan and Andy tell us why punk died… There’s just too much to list! POP enjoys hardcore support from some of Australia’s most established photographers and has grown out of the need for a truly rider driven magazine that is grounded and in touch with the smaller details of both the Australian and International scenes. www.popmag.com.au
	COMUNE AT THE GRENADE GAMES | APRIL 2009
Comune partied it up at the Grenade games back in April, we must have partied too hard because we didn't remember our roving reporter Phil Bender did a sweet write up about all the shananigans pre and post party. See below: The announcement that the Grenade Games would join the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival was greeted with wild excitement. By all accounts the now infamous games, co-presented by Monster Energy, would bring that trademark twist to a traditional event in need of new blood. Like a live round in a foxhole, the news had Canucks scrambling; the message boards lit up with the work of a thousand hands fired by anticipation. Finally, it seemed, the people would get the event they deserved. ‘Grenade Games in Whistler! How much more real can it Get?!!’ – John Ferox99... To read more and see pictures from the eventCLICK HERE
