Just cannae stands it...

Whats all the fuss about, yeah thats right new tees are in....and they look backyard banging. Please excuse the myspace pic of it, its just me in the office you know!

These will be instores next week, and are really tight on numbers....French's one looks the shit too. Happy hunting.

Doco yeah!

A friend just popped round with Document Mag, and it looks pretty loaded this month, photos of Paul, Tom, and an amazing contents photo of Eddie going towards 11'oclock.

Props go to Joe's pal Nev, apparently "he's an annoying c**t" but he sure does rep The Harmony with some steezles.

Thanks to the Slug Baron and all at Doco.

Fast times are the good times....

If you can imagine Eddie chatting to me about life in general, this first bit would of been the movie adaptation. Anyway here's what The Harmony christmas party should, I mean, will be like.

Audition....

Having failed at his tryout for Swedish Pop Idol, Danijel thought his unique guitar stylings would suit Eddie's new band, the mighty, 'THRUST'.

Dan's still unsure if his rendition of 'Sweet Caroline' followed by a 'Bread' Medley was successful. We await Eddie and the bands response.


Our hopes are with you big guy.

"No, honest Dave, I've given up...."

As well as filming for our forthcoming crapper of film, Joe is also constructing a new piece with his pals at Note, constructed only with blood, masking tape and PVA glue.

'Kip it off' will be available soon, or at least when those bozo's get round to finishing it. Check Eddie's throw-aways from his throw-aways.

Cheers Morph.

That older yet newer shit....

If we're not repping other peoples shit, we're peddling ours.....'the old/new shit promo' is completed and were just duplicating them now. Each DVD comes to the shops and other peoples with the cover made by me whilst I sit here doodling and staring blankly at my thousandth clip on "Poo tube".

Get to a shop that stocks us, and ask them where the hell there copy is.

Do it.

A Science Lesson

Go check out the Science Skateboards Promo here. Some hot moves and music to be seen.

Branching out....

I tell you all the money is in sponsored mineral water.....Danijel gets his share.

Go learn something new today....

( This announcement comes to you care of Jamie's Legs and Alex's robotic eyes. )

Stig of the....

Word is that Eddie has found new lodgings, however ,he will come out with the promise of a Power-horse energy drink and some cough candies.

Definitely the new shit...

As the little girl in 'Poltergeist' says "They're here!". That's right, 3 new 'Art Drop' Pro Models for Joe Gavin, Danijel Todorovic and Paul Silvester.

Go hassle your local shop now!

Everytime....

They never do things by halves in Glasgow, as Jamie found out as he came too with a gash in his head after tumultous tempest of a.....book launch.

Yes thats right a book launch, man alive Jim take care of yerself, cause it seems everytime I see you, its a board in the head or a shiner here, or a split lip there.

You wouldn't believe the luck of one of mellowest guys on the team.

Skele-tales

Danijel having just arrived back from Thailand, has been super busy working on various project's, he will also be flying over early December, to coincide with the launch of his first Pro Model ( See pic for early working drawing ).

The Harmony are also working on a secret project to celebrate the unholy union of Art and skateboarding....more on that soon.

D.I.T.C

Not the classic rap troop but a little sequence of Jose executing style with his feral fingers....cheers Jim

French toast...

Here's French's shirt coming very soon.....White tee, Violet Print.

Jamie's Postcard from Berlin

A while ago, Jamie and his brother Glenn, visited the wonderful city of Berlin. Heres a little edit of there adventures by the one and only Alex Craig. Its all shot on beautiful monochrome 8mm, before you ask where the HD version is, It's like skating in a Hitchcock intro, instead of inside Jerry Bruckheimer's brain!

( This players a bit touchy, I think you just press play and move the mouse away from it? )

New, New York...

Check the spots out in this.

Forays into the guild...

A firm favourite video is released this month via the peoples at The Story Film-makers Guild Dan Kircher's epic 'Forays' lands in english palms now for just fiver.....you should go and buy it with all the money you thought about donating to Children in Need but didn't get round to, or better still lob them a fiver too!

All the parts are inventive, carefree and stylishly delivered with an absolutely banging soundtrack, Neil Young on any video gets the marks for me.

Go to it Rats.

Ed gets shoved...

I still can't fathom Ed's front shove?

Drum machine....

Really clever, despite the theatrical hair do's.

calling all cars....

Anyone seen or heard from Danny? Gives us a mail boss, we want to know how Thailand was, and when your coming over?

That old bastard....

I told you gangs were great, check this email:

"Hi guys. I spoke to Danijel T. yesterday so I had to take a look at your site. and, yeah we have a gang! We´re called Old Bastards and we're old. We love concrete and we can´t do any cool tricks.

I enclose our logo, it´s made by JJ Rudisill from N.Y. Check him out at our site."

I can't read much Swedish either, but I pretty much get the essence, that these guys fucking love skating. Thanks Peter.

Viva the Bastards!

Da Skulls....

Word is the 'Skulls' rule Manchester turf, with affiliates including our very own Edward Belvedere and Jose Gavin, this crew has been living the vida loca since 2002.....check out there site, and if you need more proof of the Skulls power, Fos is pushing gang culture even further with a series of wheels with guests from all over....

Get ready to roll deep with The Skulls.

The knives....

As an over affectionate paraody of skate crews and gangs like the Z-boys, Dirt Swan and of course the Osaka Daggers, recently myself and a pals have been recapturing the youthfulness of rolling with a small crew, and so out of an evening of boredom 'The Hythe Knives' were born. as a sort of. semi ironic piss take of a bunch 30 somethings still loving skateboarding.

Well what started as a bit of piss take has now become a bit of an obsession, so much so it given us a guise to do all sorts of stupid self indulgent crap, like edit video parts to 'Danzig'.

Anyway lets promote gang culture, by emailing me your crews at:

info@theharmony.co.uk

I want to build a nice collection for the blog, so send some shit photos or a logo made on 'Paintspa', I mean surely they can't be a lilly livered as us?

The Walk of shame's five

2 ~ Oliver Barton
3 ~ Kingy/Sam Ashley




















4 ~ Giovanni Reda (for keeping it real)
5 ~ Nick Knight


Check in on Jim's site, it should have new stuff all the time.

Toy town...

I always really liked this part....short and too the point.

Reading is good.

As well being a full time member of the legendary 'Uncle John and Whitelock', and the owner of some wizard feet, Jamie has found the time to scribe a wee book:

"'My Llama for a Dromedary' is a collaborative book by Scottish writer/musician Jamie Bolland and German visual artist Inga Streich, both of which live and work in Glasgow.

On the basis of fictional and real characters and stories 'My Llama for a Dromedary' is a journey through fragments of secular everyday life.

The constant switch between the two authors - and consequently their viewpoints as well as their adopted forms of expression in text and image - takes shape as a suggestive juxtaposition that encourages individual interpretation."

Nice work Jimmie, and please visit the Inga's site, and try and get hold of copy if your inclined.

You tube again....

This one is a long un, but its basically how skating should be. All your mates sessioning and getting amped.
