Tickets to #LESbeat Party this Thursday Jan 24th. at a secret location downtown!

#LESbeat is back with another all-out party this Thursday Jan. 24th at a secret location downtown near the Seaport (sponsored by Redbull.) Free food, open bar, DJ’s and surprise performances they cannot announce. There are no ways to buy tickets for this party, you have to get them from your local LES connect.

With that said, Klughaus has 4 pairs of tickets to give away! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @klughaus for a chance to win them!

Via our friends at 12ozProphet:

“If you don’t already know what #LESbeat is all about, basically Red Bull gives a shitload of money to Matt Levine, the nightlife impresario behind Sons of Essex and Cocktail Bodega, and the Brandsway Creative team to rent out a massive undisclosed location and pull together a line-up of guest DJ’s and surprise performances with free food and licks all night. Pretty much the revival of the rave, but with a big budget. The catch is nobody knows the location or the line-up until the night of the event. And the only way to get in is to have an allusive ticket.”

*1/24 UPDATE: Rumored that the guest DJ’s are Jamie from The XX and 12th Planet.

Below is a recap video of the last party thrown at the Chinatown Mall a couple blocks away from the gallery. Open bar, free food, DJ’s and a surprise performance by Camron and Riff Raff! All happening in a spot that was open the next morning for Dim Sum! You gotta love Chinatown.

Tom Gould for Nike AF1

Proud to see one of our artists, the talented Tom Gould from New Zealand featured in this video for Nike:

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic Air Force 1 sneaker, Nike has joined forces with some of the biggest names in music, art and fashion, for its ‘The Ones’ digital campaign.

Nike collaborates with New Zealand photographer Tom Gould for the Air Force 1 30th Anniversary. Watch as Gould takes us on his own journey through the New Zealand scene, walking us through his roots in graffiti art and Hip Hop culture through to his own personal connection with the Air Force 1 sneaker. Beautifully shot and with an inspiring story to match, watch this to catch a glimpse of his life behind the lens.

Klughaus Gallery Photographs – Ricky Powell “Oh No He Didn’t!” Opening

We are really late with this but better late than never.  Here are some photographs of the Ricky Powell show from back in June that we had in collaboration w/ Memes NYC titled “Oh No He Didn’t!…”  As usual, it was a great turn out for the Rickster and thank you DJ Smoke LES for the tunes.

Right after this photo, the cops grabbed Ricky for having an open container but they let him off with a warning.. haha

DJ Smoke LES – Great guy and a local!

The following photos from the opening are all by Johnny King:
