Relentless Film Preview – Lives Of The Artists: Follow Me Down

Many of you will know Relentless for their energy drink, but did you also know they have a huge involvement in film making and the music community? Their latest feature-length documentary, Lives Of The Artists: Follow Me Down follows freeride snowboard legends Xavier de la Rue and Jeremy Jones trip to…the South Pole.

Automatically this is going to conjure up some amazing images, with some great cinematography bound to happen. Pair this with an indepth examination of UNKLE, following their tour of Moscow, London and Tokyo, and this sounds like something really interesting.

The soundtrack is one of the highlights of the film too, having been composed by UNKLE themselves, bouncing off the Relentless Energy’s ‘No Half Measures’ slogan, portraying the epic journeys they both have.

Here’s the trailer to wet your appetite. It will also be available to watch online @ relentlessenergy.com shortly after the screening.

The first track from the exclusive UNKLE-composed soundtrack, Set No Sun (featuring ELLE J and Joel Cadbury), is also now available to download free for a limited time from relentlessenergy.com

I’ll be attending the premier on tuesday, with a review to follow.

Special Event: Brighton Carnival 2010 – 25th July

It being the latter I started to read the message from our great friends at Concorde 2 and was stunned to find that tomorrow was going to be Brighton Carnival Day 2010!

You need to be here for some great food, incredible music and some of the best carnival entertainment that the South can give you, with Roots Garden and Nations Vibrations sound system. This is going to be one hell of a day for for little over 5 hours Brighton is going to be letting out some great sounds, don’t miss this, I mean, what else can you do better than spend the day dancing, eating, playing, and singing!

There are going be two stages this year, one on Maderia Drive itself and the other inside Brighton’s iconic venue Concorde2, line up for both stages have now been confirmed as follow:
