Upcoming Who Is This Hardcore Band? Fashion Show.
posted by on January 25 at 9:22 AM
Sent in by Erin Skipley, of Yoshimi Designs. A hardcore metal band practices a few doors down from her sewing studio. She says, “They play stadium level noise in their 9 ft. practice space.”
Hint, they rehearse in Fremont. Any guesses?
I asked Skipley what it was like trying to work while the band practiced. She said, “It’s like World War IV. But I have a fashion show coming up, and I have to sew. I just pretend it’s Ozzfest”
The show she is talking about is called Habeas Corpus.
Friday, Jan 26th at Ouch My Eye Studio – 1022 1st Ave. S. Right before Safeco Field.
It’s a benefit for PlanUsa.
Featuring the clothing of Yoshimi Designs, Gypsy Baby , Wai Ching , Papusza Couture , and Kristen Ferrell .
Music by DJ Scorpio, DJ Whiplash, Ms. Margie, and Mattack.
Doors are at 8 pm. Show at 9:30. $10

For this Habeas Corpus show, Skipley is introducing a line of reworked vests .
Skipley was a national makeup artist for Christian Dior. She knows the fashion-house routine well. Her client list there includes Miramax Films, Samuel Goldwyn Films, Entertainment Tonight, CNBC, and Fox TV. She was the makeup artist for the Decemberists on the cover shot of last month's Big Takeover Magazine. (Her makeup site - here.)
Between her clothing and her makeup work, Erin Skipley doesn’t stop, just like the hardcore band next door. She does makeup all day, then sews all night.
In the wee hours of a Fremont morning, if you see a light on, it's probably Erin's - sewing away and making something sexy as hell for you to wear. Listen for the hardcore, and know that Yoshimi is near.
Skinny Puppy. No question about it.
No, that is Krokus. They are in Fremont now.
That is Death Cab for Cutie. They have gone in a new direction.
How hot is the chic with red hair #3? Conquer me now.
I want the jacket with the yellow stripes.
It could be Cream Pony.
What is a Habeas Corpus?
Holy shit!!!! SEX VID
the hardcore (NOT hardcore metal) is Sex Vid. best, if not ONLY, HC band in the land!
That's my band Sex Vid. Sorry if we mess up your sewing deal. Come say hi sometime. We are playing at Camp Nowhere on Fri. with Walls.
'hardcore metal' is like, the funniest thing ever....
Sex Vid = Sex Video? Or is it another band with a terribly similar name? Judd, if you can read this, I DO NOT want to fight you on the internets.
Hey dude, it's RJ, same band, man. Shorter name. Thats all. Come see us on Friday.
No, it's GBH. They're in Fremont now.
It's totally Death Cab.
I want a jacket too. And the red head. I like the tapestry one too.
it's Candlebox.
Explain the difference between hardcore and hardcore metal.
Hmmm. What is the difference between shit and shit?
This sounds like a really cool event. Why is not previewed in the print version?
The difference between shit and shit? Explain.
white cross, shit is a hipster thing, you wouldn't get it.
We are on Dom. Thats the hippest label in the world, man.
Come on now, there is no shit. No shit at all here. Only love. Everyone loves everyone else.
haha. shit hipsters, all too true.
white cross = hardcore.
venom = metal.
hardcore metal = oxymoron/non sequitur - rhythm often sounds like the Lone Ranger theme - what metal guys or straight edge kids listen to and/or play and think/assume is punk rock.
Venom, White Cross. The kings.
I don't know what 'hardcore metal' is, but if I remember correctly, Zeotrope (the 80's band) call themselves 'hardcore street metal' on the back of their LP. Or something like that. They look amazing.
That term cracks me up.
That's a really nice jacket, though.
The hardcore people try harder than anyone, they are hardcore.
You did not have to try to hard to come up with that dumb post though. It seems like it came kinda naturally.
Don't talk about stuff you don't know about.
The hardcore crowd is more hip than the hipsters. But they have to act tough and talk shit about who they think are hipsters. Meanwhile it takes them 2 hours to get ready before they go out.
Those girls in the pictures are hot as balls.
I think we all have a real different idea of what 'hardcore' is.
I agree. It's all interpretation. There are several types of hardcore. Like porn. Or hardcore like people with tattoos on their face.
I gotta also say. I am so sick of seeing the 'Bodies' exhibit advertised everywhere I turn. It reminds me of the fetal pig I dissected in highschool. Even while posting a comment, there it is. Some guy doing a layup with his skin ripped off. EEEwww.
"Some guy doing a layup with his skin ripped off."
Whoisnothip, you have defined hardcore. Discussion over.
Hipsters vs. Hardcore: Texas cage match. Prize fight. Who's it gonna be?
I want a jacket. And the dude wearing the stripes.
White Gold vs. White Cross.
me and judd like to fuck eachother
