Matt Furie’s Hot Topik

Posted on 28. Jan, 2011 by niki in Artists, Matt Furie, Shows

Matt Furie has a show opening tonight at Needles and Pens from 7:30-10pm
Matt teamed up with his friend Sam Gaskin to create a new line of potential t-shirts to be sold at goth rocker life-style outlets in malls across America. Sam wrote phrases for the t-shirts such as, “I Only Smoke Weed on Days That End in ‘ – Day -‘” and Furie illustrated them. The end result of the catchy phrases and drawings are captured in a 16 page zine entitled HOT TOPIK (which will be released this very evening).

with music by Brooklyn’s ~ ~ ~ DUB KNOW DUB ~ ~ ~

In addition to releasing the zine, N&P will be hosting a quickie weekend art show of works by Furie (from the zine and others) and also works by DUB KNOW DUB/Cinders fellow STO.
