Amigos Shop Final Event this Sunday!!

We are pleased to invite you to our final event at Amigos Publishing & Shop, Let's Go Get Cokes. On view are photographs and ephemera based on our month's theme: the suburbs. The glossy and well-worn photographs by an anonymous artist are of skateboarders and BMXers, of kids hanging out and learning tricks for the first time. The faces in the photos are unclear or cropped out, allowing the viewer to imagine their own adolescence or the banal experiences that are often associated with the suburbs.

Let's Go Get Cokes is a preview of a forthcoming book release by Amigos. The event, to be held Sunday February 26th from 2-7PM, will also include a release of GBPS by Andrew Burton, Jad Angell and Dan Burton, as well as Amigos 009 lite rock - the hits, our first music release, a cassette tape by Daniella Ben-Bassat.

Lou Kishfy and Laura Brown will provide music and visuals. The event, as always, is free and open to the public. We hope you'll join us for our final event at the shop.

Amigos 009, lite rock - the hits, Now Available!!

 Amigos 009, lite rock - the hits, by Daniella Ben-Bassat is now available!  Lite rock - the hits is an epic double cassette tape of the workplace appropriate jams from local radio station Lite Rock 105 interspersed with Daniella's own eclectic covers.  We will be officially releasing this tape at our closing party this Sunday February 26th from 2-7PM.  Be sure to check out Daniella's recent amazing US Weekly-style illustrations for the website Rookie Mag.

Songs about the Suburbs

JAS Studio Visit

Earlier in the winter we made a quick studio visit to our favorite maker of Kitty gear, Joseph Aaron Segal and his Pretty Snake line.  We have one of the famous Kitty sweaters left!  You can view more photos and pick up the sweater below!

Mickey Z zzzines

We recently received some stellar copies of Mickey Z's infamous RAV zines.  RAV is "an ongoing comic series about a man named JUICE who is looking for something."  You can pick up issue 2+3 in store or below.  

We also have the most recent issue #5.  This issue is 54 pages, risograph-printed in an edition of 300.  Beautiful color combinations with a creepy inside.

Whore Paint - Menarchy!!

We are super psyched to be carrying the new 7" Menarchy by Providence's own Whore Paint.  The 7" comes with a digital download code and an insert that will win the heart of any feminist.  Experience the sonic slaughter that is Whore Paint, and try not to be too sad that you didn't come up with "Menarchy" first.  The band will also be playing Ladyfest Boston tomorrow afternoon if you are in the area! #coolestgirlsaround?
