Band of Skulls is a garage rock band from Southampton, England, consisting of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals), Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), and Matt Hayward (drums), who formed a band after they all met in college.

Initially, they played at night clubs in the Greater London area and recorded some demos under the name of Fleeing New York before changing their name to Band of Skulls.

If you’ve been following the Old Spice ads and think Mustafa is awesome, then here is the Old Spice Social Campaign Case Study from WK.

The campaign was designed to capture the attention of both men and women and create a buzz through conversation, which it did… very well.

Mustafa became a legend and they needed to find a way to engage with the new fans, which is how the Response Campaign was born.

Here are some stats from the campaign:

Florence and the Machine (sometimes stylised as Florence + the Machine) is the recording name of English pop artist Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice.

Florence and the Machine’s sound has been described as a combination of various genres, including rock and soul.

The vuvuzela has attracted international interest during the World Cup, but this is taking things a bit too far… still funny though.

I attended a wedding at Vrede En Lust in Franshoek last week and this is one of my favourite photos from the trip.

This wall of vintage photo frames is at the entrance of the tasting room at main estate.

It’s a beautiful wine farm, you should definitely make your way there.

Local band in CT, recorded and shot with absolutely no budget whatsoever. Luke Viviers and Bheki Dladla lead vocals with Tony Shine and Just Nathan on the strings. Music Video directed by Porteus Xandou.

Living in Cape Town it’s impossible not to notice the constant noise of vuvuzela’s in Long Street and the cars driving by decorated with mirror socks and flags.

There is definitely a vibe in Cape Town at the moment and it’s World Cup Fever.

This is a classic video featuring Iron Baby in an Iron Man parody filmed using the posters daughter.

FmyFine is a clever new website that offers premade excuses for lowering or getting out of traffic fines. You always laugh at peoples cars who have those horrible pink stickers attached to their windows, but as soon as it’s your… your heart sinks.

This was found stuck to my car and I almost shed a few tears, but soon found out it was a clever marketing tactic by FmyFine. The feeling of relief associated with any brand is a major win, so congrats on some clever thinking.
