We had a lot of friends and fans and even some VIP guests come out and support Everyday Villains and our new lineup. One of my personal favorites, legendary west coast painter Kofie’One of Draftsmen, was in the audience that night. If you don’t know Kofie’ One and his amazing mixed-media artwork with a drafting, abstract spin, then you are missing out. His artwork can be found all over LA in galleries, random signs/walls, installations, and in custom pieces hanging on people’s walls. He has even jumped from his local stomping ground and has done art projects all over the world. Look for a full in-depth article on him in the future, but for now go to his web site below and get educated. Trust me, his art is dope.

Host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Wake Up Show, DJ and recording artists King Tech rolled through the 777 party. One half of the duo known as Sway and King Tech, Flynamic Force or Tech & Sway, Tech has been down from the get-go. We got a chance to chat with him on the state of streetwear, the music industry and marketing ideas. The man is extremely knowledgeable about launching brands and taking them to the next level. He has launched many, many careers in the rap game.  Great to meet you man!

On the night of 777, Estevan Oriol of SA Studios came through to sign his new 2009 calendar. If you don’t know Estevan, he’s a photographer and director whose been in the game since way back. He began his career as a bouncer in Los Angeles hip-hop clubs where he first up with Cypress Hill. He parlayed that relationship into a spot as a tour manager for House of Pain. He currently operates SA Studios, a multi-faceted media company that works with movie studios, recording artists, apparel brands, beverage and even Microsoft. Estevan owns Joker Brand Clothing with Mr. Cartoon as well as his eponymous clothing label under the Upper Playground umbrella.

We just wanted to thank everyone who came out to 777 to show support to Everyday Villains, Chocolate Crocodile and all the artists and DJs.  The event went off without a hitch (except for the one beer run we had to make).  More than 120 people made it out to the event.  It was a huge success for us and for all those associated with 777.  We are honored by the great response we received on our new line.  By nights end we saw tons of cats running around Ventura Blvd in rEVenge, Freedom Isn’t Free, Icon, Pressure at the Pump, Fake It Till You Make It, World Wide Villains and LA Villains t-shirts.  Just the sight of so many people wearing our gear made the night amazing.  Thank you all!

We’d also like to thank Mike Hernandez, who curated the event. Mike was able to hook us up with all the artists who participated in 777. Without his help we would have never been able to find all these artists, put the show together or have the amazing turnout we had. Thanks, Mike!

Peeps enjoying the new gear.
