Hanah Reed - The RockIt Roost - Boutique Owner, Designer, Contributor & Photographer

"The RockIt Roost was established in 2008. Lash & Ink was created to showcase the store, photography, and RockIt Roost fun!

It was a dream of mine to develop a boutique that was unique and inspiring. My father encouraged me to go after my dreams. When he passed away in 2008 I knew I had to do something. I wrote a business plan, gave it to investors and within a weeks time The RockIt Roost was born. It has not been an easy road. When you open a small business you are faced with some crazy challenges that umnn....aren't mentioned in the manual. In that time I have discovered an even greater love for fashion, become a photographer, created a Kustom Kulture Festival, and met amazing people. This magazine is to compliment the store, highlight product, and see where I can take it.

I'm just a small town girl with big dreams. Really big dreams. Lash & Ink is a unique look at the tattoo, hotrod, and pinup culture. With fun, interesting, and exciting photo's and articles you'll get a fun look at the world of a pinup that can relate to your every day life! There is so much creativity bursting within me that I just have to get it out."

METALLICA'S JAMES HETFIELD sports his T.U.K. Sneakers at ABSENT screening.

2011-03-21T10:50:00.000-07:00

[Story and images from ROCKVILLE MUSIC MAGAZINE: Feature by jhs on Hetfield and Hunt's Absent Screening Q and A, story update by Metal Dan]

"You never know what is going to spark the fanatic interest of Metallica's devoted metalheads. This week, it appears to be James Hetfield's shoes.

When our photographer was busy snapping pictures of Hetfield's impromptu meet and greet held after the first West Coast screening of ABSENT, she unwittingly stirred a web fashion frenzy. Message boards, tweets, and over 60 emails received here at RMM all had one burning question on their brains: What do you know about James Hetfield's bad ass shoes!?!"

"In fact, the shoes worn by Metallica's frontman are produced by the San Diego shoe company T.U.K. The skull and bones seen on the soles are a trademark of T.U.K. shoes, and not of Metallica's 'Scary Guy.'. T.U.K.'s long embraced by the rock scene, has been worn by everyone from Green Day to NOFX, and now, by James Hetfield."

MAGIC Fashion Trade Show, S.L.A.T.E., and Street—Complex Elements of Streetwear, Sports Inspired, Goth, Urban Presents a Memorable Experience

[Posted By: Kathleen Gasperini - Label Networks]

"From February 14-16, 2011, the MAGIC fashion trade show brings to Las Vegas one of the world’s largest gatherings of fashion brands, industry players, media, and artists as thousands descend to see what’s new for Fall/Winter 2011 from brands within specific genres of fashion. MAGIC, which is the king-pin show, features many shows within the show including S.L.A.T.E. with progressive street and lifestyle brands, Street Unlimited that runs the range of MMA-inspired to music-inspire, and Premium featuring men’s denim and contemporary sportswear. This is where we usually focus when covering MAGIC because it’s here that most youth culture brands reside.

In Street... a reprieve from the licensing section and a highlight are the aisles of Goth, punk, and rockabilly. We were glad to see Hell Bunny London on site this time, who among others, said that London Edge show does well for them. Tripp NYC continues to be an anchor in this area as Goth and punk never goes out of style with a subculture within youth. This time, camo with black pants and split pants featuring either two different types of patterns or different colors were trending for must-haves among buyers. Lip Service and shoe brand T.U.K. are also popular places for buyers in this area."

"T.U.K. always has classic music-inspired footwear. In this case we especially liked the plaid men's shoe."

T.U.K.s are CREEPING up all over the UK & USA...

2011-02-23T11:02:00.000-08:00

T.U.K. FOOTWEAR have been making their original CREEPERS for almost 20 years now. With tried and true CLASSICS to new fun & loud SEASONAL STYLES. And nowadays, T.U.K. CREEPERS seem to be popping up everywhere: on runways, in magazines and on hot new bands and artists...

Seen numerous times on feet of the hot new London, UK post-punk / shoegaze quintet Chapel Club.

"Chapel Club are pretty cool. They're one of those band names that you keep on bumping into, but can't imagine anything about their music based on their name alone so eventually you have to go see it.
Facts: - The frontman isn't the most attractive member. That's very 2010; very zeitgeist. - They recently played a show in Wolverhampton with a faulty guitar. To apologise, they gave free CDs to the audience. Isn't that sweet? - Their music is really good. Definitely worth seeing live before you hear them on CD. I'm tempted to compare them to Joy Division, but that comparison has been used for so many bands (Delphic? Really?) that it just builds you up for a fall. Make your own mind up. " - JOSEPH S NOCKLES (conglamorart.blogspot.com)

T.U.K. LADIES BOOT FEATURED IN AUXILIARY MAGAZINE ARTICLE...

2010-10-19T12:19:00.000-07:00

...FROM THE STYLE SECTION OF THIS MONTH'S ISSUE OF AUXILIARY MAGAZINE...

The term Memento Mori in its meaning is that of mortality and literally
translates from the Latin, “remember you will die”. While the term
Memento Mori has been around for centuries dating back to the Roman
times, the term has evolved amongst art themes throughout Europe and
the Americas, to eventually become very common in Victorian society.
Throughout the 19th century images of hourglasses, wings, bones, skulls,
and winged death hands all having human elements and an overall somber
tone have served to symbolize the term. The Victorians took death
very seriously, from making hair art from a loved one into brooches,
lockets, and hair art wall hangings to post-mortem photography. The postmortem photographs were taken as a token to remember the deceased
and were often a reminder to the Victorians that life was fleeting. We
have learned a lot from the 19th century and now, modern designers are
bringing a resurgence to the Memento Mori aesthetic with fashions that
include taxidermy, images of death, and infusion of elegance to a subject
that was once considered macabre and strange.

While the show encapsules many different areas, including Menswear, Project, Pool, FN Platform for Footwear, Sourcing, WWDMAGIC for women’s contemporary, a Premium men’s section, S.L.A.T.E for street lifestyle brands, and Street Unlimited, for our purposes at Label Networks, covering street lifestyle and global youth culture, we tend to concentrate on covering Street, S.L.A.T.E., and a section of the show that many people still refer to as Edge (Goth, punk, emo).

Attached to S.L.A.T.E., one rolls into Edge.... This is an area where you can also see brands like Lucky 13, Lip Service, many accessory brands, and London-edge footwear brands like T.U.K. Featured this time were new styles in rockabilly-esque pumps with new insoles for a better fit, wooden wedges, and cute details such as charms under the arch.

T.U.K. gals showcasing their latest designs from a footwear brand that has become iconic among youth culture, music, punk. They will be at London Edge next.

T.U.K. featured many new shoe designs including this from bamboo and a little Goth charm in the heel platform."

Todd Kerns wears his T.U.K. shoes while playing bass for SLASH on The Tonight Show...

2010-04-07T16:17:00.000-07:00

[watch video of Tuesday's performance below]

When one of the most prolific guitarists alive asks you to come jam with him, you'd be a fool to say no.

Todd Kerns ain't no fool.

The Sin City Sinners frontman happily obliged a recent request to visit LA and informally play bass with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. When that opportunity turned into a short touring gig with Slash's solo band, well, turning that down seemed a bit foolish, too.
"Slash is among one of my favorite guitarists," Kerns says, "and he's a good human being. I was like, 'I'd better do this.'"

Kerns will be performing with Slash tonight (April 6) on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, April 8 on Lopez Tonight with George Lopez and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on April 9.

How long Kerns' Slash stint will last is still being negotiated, but the Sinner promises that his Vegas-based band is still his top priority. And why shouldn't it be? The primarily cover band's self-released album of original music, Exile on Fremont Street, dropped on Valentine's Day and is selling well, according to Kerns, especially over the Internet. The band already is talking about ways to improve and create a second album, which would come out in about a year.

"Sin City Sinners is still nearest and dearest to my heart," Kerns promises.

Kerns currently expects not to miss many of the bands' recurring gigs at Ovation, VooDoo Lounge and Fremont Street Experience, and band manager Jason Green promises a fill-in worthy of Kerns' Slash-happy shoes.

Legends Volume 4. Cocksparrer

2008-07-22T12:10:00.000-07:00

Cocksparrer are firm favorites of ours here at T.U.K. HQ.
The band led what has now became known as the OI genre. Catchy songs with a hard street influence, loved by skinhead revivalists, punks and football hooligans alike. Classic!

Formed in 1974 as a pre punk pub band they acquired and retained a largely skinhead following as they sped up like so many other bands at the time, with the onset of punk. An aggressive sounding band in the Small Faces / Slade tradition. East End boys singing about tough times and football violence in cockney accents.

A live review from 15.4.78 in Sounds sums them up perfectly. "Musically and visually, the Cock Sparrer crew are just about as motley and uncouth as its possible for a band to project. Imagine five collectively imageless Cockneys with hair length varying from skinhead to Woody Roller, wearing clothes they look they pool from from jumble sales, and singing about how East End life is tough but fun..(they)...create a good time sound that occasionally approximates to the original...spirit of Slade."

The future for these boys could have been all so different. Intrigued by an advert from Malcolm McLaren in Melody Maker they approached him with a demo. Differing tales tell of them turning him down because he refused to get a round in or because as he outlined his vision he demanded they get their hair cut. Either way they didn't hook up and the rest is history. Yet there's similarities in attitude and sound ( riffs & boogie guitars) to the early Pistols but missing of course the galvanising, centrifugal and focusing presence of Mr Rotten and those basic tunes of Glen Matlock that separated the average from the great.

What was it with Decca and boot boys? First Slaughter & The Dogs, then Cock Sparrer. Come to think of it what was Decca's idea of punk? Their next release was Adam & The Ants 'Young Parisians'! As like all Decca releases Cock Sparrer's sank like stones

Their advertising featured them as hooligans and later songs extolled the virtues of Trouble On the Terraces. Decca was a mistake but at least they got their music out. Then Decca went bust and in 1978 Cock Sparrer split. In their career they supported bands like The Small Faces, & Motorhead and played Soho's infamous punk Roxy Club. Their aggressive Poplars following got them banned from venues as The Vortex and Nashville and unfortunately everyone seemed to spell their name wrong from Cock Sparrow to Cock Sparra!

Were they ahead of their time as regards oi music and working class expressions of angst ? Could be argued, but they never got to capitalise as Sham took the plaudits.

In the end Cock Sparrer were a pub style hybrid of punk & pub rock. (their lead guitarist left to form The Little Roosters - a pub rock style band) They certainly weren't the Pistols. Check out any greatest hits by them and compare their snarling version of We Love You against Sunday Stripper or I Need a Witness. Its painful but you can't deny they had some fine raucous tunes. We love 'em!

CockSparrer are amazing live! I saw them in L.A. back in 2000 it was one of the best shows I have ever seen...They are still playing shows in England,

Legends Volume 3. - MINOR THREAT

2008-07-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

Minor Threat

Here at T.U.K. We all have different taste in music. One band we can all agree on that made an impact on the punk/hardcore music scene for life was MINOR THREAT.
Minor Threat brought intelligent lyrics with a straight forward in your face approach, coupled with fast unrelenting hardcore punk. Amazing stuff!
here's a little history of the band taken from their self run record label www.dischord.com

When their former band, The Teen Idles, broke up Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson decided to form a new band with Ian on vocals. In 1980 they started playing with Lyle Preslar, who sang for the Extorts and wanted to switch to guitar. Lyle introduced them to Brian Baker who started playing bass in November and the band played its first show a month later. Minor Threat and SOA were part of a small wave of new kids and bands in DC, many of whom were not into drugs and alcohol. Some of the bands made mention of this in their lyrics, and Minor Threat�s song "Straight Edge" coined the phrase that is now used to describe a drug and alcohol-free lifestyle. The band played regularly but broke up at the end of the summer of 1981 when Lyle left DC to go to college. Six months later, dissatisfaction with school and a sense of unfinished business prompted Lyle to drop out and Minor Threat reformed in April '82. That fall, Steve Hansgen joined to play bass while Brian moved to second guitar and the band recorded and toured as a five piece until June '83.

Minor Threat played a few more shows as a four piece that summer, but they were not getting along. They were unable to agree on the direction of the music, and ended up spending more time arguing than playing in the practice space. Faced with this dilemma, the members decided that it would be better for all involved to shut it down.Ian went on to form Embrace, Egg Hunt, Fugazi and the Evens. Jeff later played in Three and the High Back Chairs. Lyle played in Samhain and Brian formed Dag Nasty and currently plays guitar in Bad Religion.

Check out the energy and passion Minor Threat played with.......it's mindblowing

RAT CITY RIOT - interview

2008-06-19T08:56:00.000-07:00

RAT CITY RIOT

We sponsor many bands here at T.U.K. with shoes, bands we are honored that wear our shoes with pride.
One of our favorites is Rat City Riot. A hardworking, hard rocking street punk/rock band from San Diego, Ca. Here's an interview we conducted with them..... Enjoy and make sure you check them out!!!

1. Name:
Noah
2. What do you do in the band and names of everyone else and what they play?
I sing for Rat City Riot, current lineup has Alex and Chris on Guitars, Garret on Drums, and locally we have Mike on Bass- this trip we take to Europe in October we'll have Daniel Franco from The Business sliding in on a spare guitar... he's pretty much in the band but lives in Italy so it's hard for him to get out here for anything less than a major tour plan.

3. How did the band form and how long have you been around?
I used to work door at a club in San Diego called Xanth, it was pretty much in my opinion the last of the good local all ages venues that got shut down... One week there was a few "last shows" of local bands and a few of us decided to get something rolling. Rat City Riot was the end result and we've been going strong since 2003.

4. What releases do you have? Where can you find them?
We have a DEMO, that if you can find it... I'd be suprised. Our first record "Dirty Rotten Games" which came out on Taang! Records, available there or in many stores, or on many online sites like interpunk.com for example. The most recent E.P. "The Open Road" came out on Street Anthem Records- you can probably get it from them if their website is back up or from us at any local show or email us and we'll mailorder one your way. We are currently in the studio working on another full length that will hopefully be out in Europe tentatively on 'People like You' for our next tour.

5. What topics do Rat City riot cover lyrically?
We write about what we know- wether its heartbreak, touring, what's going on in the world, or what's going on in our lives at that particular time. We do write a LOT about being on tour- but then again until gas prices this year reached an alarming price- we used to go out for no less than 4-6 months at a time!

6. Rat City Riot has to be one of the hardest working bands we know,
always touring all the time. Give us a few funny stories from the road.
That's a tough one, there's been so many strange things that happened- One Canadian tour we were on with a band called RED ALERT from the UK was especially interesting... mainly because we had the 6 of us plus I think 7 or maybe 8 of them packed in our old 8 passenger Dodge van+ Trailer. 4 of those guys were jammed in the way back on a bench seat I had left over from another van and put in myself. anyway, those guys werent really supposed to be "touring" in Canada so we were telling the authorities at the border that they were just friends who were tagging along with us on our trip for fun. When they started searching the van and found an excessive amount of guitars and luggage we spent hours and hours at the Canadian border being searched, interrogated, and all around yelled at until finally some supervisor waved us through. Later that tour our fuel pump had been off and on giving us trouble and we ran out of gas in middle of nowhere upstate NY where there wasnt a single open gas station at whatever hour of the early morning it was... the trick was that we ran out of gas 20 yards away from the one open gas station we ran across and had to push the van up a little hill to try and get to the pumps. With a trailer full of gear this was ok until we ran out of the headstart the previously running van gave us and we stopped short. Luckily after a few minutes to settle the fuel pump finally let us squeeze out another few drops and we lurched up to the pump and continued on our way. Another tour we were on our way to a show in Albany NY we got lost and tried to make a u-turn in someones driveway- but the person following behind us just followed us so we couldnt back up and flip around... seeing a pickup truck parked in this persons lot and some gravel we wrongly assumed the ground was sturdy enough to make a turn on. Our drummer awoke to a "sensation of sliding sideways" as we jack-knifed the van+trailer in the mud. Everybody piled out and we disconnected the trailer and tried to push it back onto solid ground... this worked fine until the hitch wheel snapped off and plunged the entire hitch assembly into the mud. By this time the people who owned the house came out and called the Highway Patrol or Sherrfif and were screaming and yelling about how "If this were TEXAS, we could SHOOT YOU!" ...lots of apologizing, a smirking law officer who asked the woman "what do you want me to do exactly, they're stuck?!", and straining our backs, we managed to get the trailer back on the van and back on the road. we were late to the show and had to play for 5 people after the headliner played and their fans took off. But we had a good time.

7. What misconceptions do people have of your band?
I think we get pigeonholed into the 'punk' category, while a lot of fans of rock and roll, streetpunk & hardcore would probably like what we are doing... we call ourselves Street-Rock for lack of a better term. Other than that.. maybe that we're a bunch of drunken troublemakers... which is only partly true part of the time. Not me though. ha!

8. What's up next for you guys?
New record, lots of local stuff- all ages shows too! Playing small west coast tour up to SF for the Rumbler's Car Club show, then off to Europe for a month and a half.

9. Are you planning on voting in the next general election?
What are some issues you feel are important? I am definitely voting... theres a lot of important issues this election, wether its Social security and the fact that it's slowly going broke, The Patriot act/Homeland Security, or Health Care issues... it's up to everyone to be aware of what's going on in the world and make their own educated decisions. We all live in our own little bubble- but that bubble can certainly pop someday.

10. How can anybody get in touch with rat city riot and check out you
guys?
Our website hasn't been updated much lately, but you can go there www.ratcityriot.com and also the myspace page can be linked to from there- www.myspace.com/ratcityriot ... or snail mail: Rat City Riot PO BOX 4121 San Diego CA 92164.

11. Finally thanks for being a great band that wears T.U.K. on stages
all over the world. What are everybody's favorite TUK styles?
I personally rock the Gripfast 3 and 10 holes 90% of the time. But also have several pairs of the all black Rising Sun sneaker. Alex and Daniel like the creepers- Alex the short ones, Danny the tall... Chris will wear pretty much whatever fits him, and all of us are excited to see what new stuff is coming out.

Thanks guys and good luck on tour!!

Legends Volume 2. - The Jam

2008-06-10T08:36:00.000-07:00

THE JAM

The Jam were the archetypal British mod revival/punk rock/new wave band active in the late 1970s and early ’80s. They were one of the most popular groups of the day, achieving eighteen straight Top 40 singles in the UK from their debut in 1977 to their swansong in 1982, including four #1 hits. Incredibly, two of these eighteen singles were available on an import-only basis; they remain the best-selling import singles of all time in the UK. They are almost singularly responsible for the early 1980s mod revival movement, particularly in the U.S. where their popularity among the mod subculture was and remains unrivaled. Frontman Paul Weller has been affectionately known as the modfather and spiritual leader of all mods since the early 1980s. They also released six albums in their day, the last of which (The Gift) hit #1 on the UK album charts. Massively popular in Britain, as well as much of the rest of Europe and beyond, they never gained much commercial success in North America, but they did retain a considerable cult following. They drew upon a variety of stylistic influences over the course of their career, including punk rock, british invasion, American soul, mod music, and even British psychedelia. Even into the 1990s their music proved to be highly influential on many successful British guitar pop bands from The Smiths in the ’80s to britpop groups Blur and Oasis more recently. Despite the group’s limited fame in the United States, they remain a major influence on popular American groups such as Green Day as well. To this day, they rank as one of the most highly successful British groups of all time.

Launching the career of singer, guitarist, and songwriter Paul Weller, who remains a successful solo artist to this day, the trio was known for its high-energy, hard-hitting pop songs, distinctly British flavour, and sharp mod image. All three members were skilled musicians and made critical contributions to the group’s sound. Weller wrote and sang virtually all of the group’s original compositions, and drove them with the chiming tones of a Rickenbacker guitar. Bassist Bruce Foxton made up for the group’s lack of a second guitarist by carrying much of the melody in his distinctive playing, a confluence of the power of John Entwistle with the speed and melodicism of Paul McCartney. His instantly memorable basslines were the foundation of many of the group’s songs, including the hits “Down in the Tube Station at Midnight”, “The Eton Rifles”, and “A Town Called Malice”. Foxton’s sweet harmonies also gave the group another memorable cachet. Drummer Rick Buckler played with the full-on energy of Keith Moon, but dispensed with Moon’s flashiness in favour of steady but intricate beats and subtle, deft touches. Despite having only three members, The Jam are still regarded as one of the most powerful and fiery groups in British rock.

Legends volume 1. - The Clash

2008-05-27T10:40:00.000-07:00

All of us here at T.U.K. are really into all kinds of music. We will be interviewing bands, promoting shows and reminiscing about amazing bands and songs here on the blog.
Why not start it off with one of the best bands of all time:

The Clash

Hard-hitting songs like "London Calling" and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" made The Clash one of the most famous punk bands of the 1970s. Once too radical for radio, The Clash became a pillar of modern-day rock. The band's members were: Joe Strummer (b. John Mellors, 21 August 1952, Ankara, Turkey, d. December 2002), guitar and vocals; Paul Simonon (b. 1956, London), bass; Mick Jones (b. 26 June 1955, London), guitar and vocals; and Nicky Headon (b. 1956, Dover, England), drums. The Clash was formed in 1976 (at the time with drummer Terry Chimes) and released their self-titled debut album in 1977. Songs such as "White Riot" combined the energy of hard rock with angry social consciousness, and the album became a favorite of the critics. With a sturdy following in the U.K., The Clash toured the United States in the late '70s and released their 2-LP set London Calling (1979), now considered by many to be their best (it included "Train in Vain (Stand by Me)," a hidden track that reached the top of the U.S. charts). The triple-album Sandinista (1980) proved The Clash still had a bone to pick with corruption and injustice, and revealed a variety of musical influences that included ska, dub and reggae. Amid rumors that co-songwriters Strummer and Jones weren't getting along, they released Combat Rock (1982) to great success -- and accusations by hardcore fans that they had sold out. The album spawned the hits "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Rock the Casbah" and the band headlined big festivals and arena shows. In 1982 Headon was replaced by original drummer Chimes, and in 1983 Jones left the band (and went on to form the group Big Audio Dynamite). With a new lineup, Strummer and Simonon forged on with Cut the Crap (1984), but the band was officially finished by 1986. After working on the compilation The Essential Clash, Strummer died in 2002, just a few months before the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their other tunes include "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais," "Lost in the Supermarket" and "Clash City Rockers."
