Japan Compilation, by LE GRAND CRU from LE GRAND CRU on Vimeo.

We are happy to announce our first compilation! It will be available at our Bandcamp MAY 3. It is made up by some of our favorite artists that so happen to be our friends too. Some of these artists have given us songs from upcoming albums, B-sides, new songs recorded for this compilation, & latest songs. You get to hear the unreleased material on this compilation first!

We are impressed by the willingness of these artists to share their craft in support of bringing relief to Japan. Thank you artists, we are humbled by your gift, we’ll do our hardest to maximize it for Japan!

The company that produces the lamp is called SUCK UK, based in East London. They have so many cool items, and do most of the designing in-house. But they also collab with people, and in the case of the BookRest Lamp, they teamed up with Lee Sang Gin.

The lamp is made with frosted glass, which provides ideal reading light, and when you’re done for the time being, you can place your book on top, creating a little house AND bookmark where you left off!

SUCK UK has been very generous in giving us one to give away to one of you! Although they are based in the UK, they have sent us one with a US plug, so this contest is open to US residents only. In order to enter, all you have to do is visit their site http://www.suck.uk.com, come back to this post, and leave a comment on what your 2nd favorite item is! Simple right?!?!! Contest is now over.

Don’t be surprised if you have a hard time deciding, because there are so many great items to choose from!

Follow them on Twitter and “Like” them on Facebook

Thanks again to SUCK UK, and good luck to you all!

This past Sunday our good friend Tony Kevin Jr released the physical copy of his latest EP Poverty at Conor Byrne. Until then you could only find in on his bandcamp. Tony has been reppin Le Grand Cru since we went public, wearing our shirts on stage, talking about us on stage, buying shirts for his friends, CRAZY love from our boy Tony.

In this latest work he shares in song form a standard lived by the sacrificial figures Mother Teresa & Gandhi that he desires his own purpose/life to reflect. That’s a lot to live up too, BUT if a song like these can get so easily stuck in your head, than their constant reminder may produce the transformation Tony hopes for himself & his listeners.

Tony recently had an deeply insightful interview with City Arts on this release. Read it HERE

Please listen to the Poverty EP HERE

(ALBUM COVER)

COLD WAR KIDS release their 3rd full length album “Mine is Yours” Jan 25th. They’ve released 3 killer signature songs already from it and I’m thinking these appetizers are incredible glimpses into their most cohesive/dynamic release yet. These kids have always delivered with a confident honesty and done it on the back bone of sparse contributions that team up into a fine sucker punch. CWK has just released a special ltd. 500 deluxe package that includes: Signed Vinyl + CD + Digital + T-shirt + Lithograph for 44 bones. A STEAL! If you order it now it will be on your doorstep the day of its official release. I support these South Cali kids loud & proud. Here’s a peek into their album:

4 New pieces will be released tomorrow (01/04/11) in our store. We think it’s a great way to start out this new year. Check them in our store tomorrow for close ups on these prints as well as our own neck tags, we are elevating the hustle in LGC this year, be a part of it! www.legrandcru.us
