Handsome Furs @ Home Club

Dan Boecker (also of Wolf Parade) and wife, Alexei Perry, hail from Montreal and score mad points for: looking hot, roughing up indie riffs with a bit of drum machine and synth, and gifting us two awesome albums (Plague Park and Face Control). In their free time, Handsome Furs also tour the darkest corners of the globe - and their date with us is set for this Friday at Home Club. Two may be company, but any more's a real party, so show up on time.

Home Reinvented pres. Lo-Fi feat. Mumdance

Home Club's Lo-Fi night marks a good year of music and madness with a big ol' birthday party, starring special guest Mumdance. This UK boi has been making noise of the electronic variety and attacking the bass big time, with his productions and remixes riding high on the airwaves. Diplo loves him enough to be housing him under Mad Decent and Brodinski is just dying to get behind his decks. All in all, you're in for a treat this Saturday.

Mumdance descends on Home Club on 12 September. To score yourself a pair of passes to this event, drop a line at grabs@juice.com.sg with your name, IC and contact numbers, naming us a Lo-Fi resident DJ. Do so before 10 September.

adidas ObyO F/W '09

Last season, adidas Originals handed over their drawing boards to a bunch of visionaries and allowed them free reign o'er their own capsule collections. Thus: adidas Originals By Originals, and they're at it again for F/W '09. First up, style child Jeremy Scott turns up with more colours than rainbows, trades on kinky animal spots and stripes, and unleashes some pretty wild silhouettes.

Street kingpin Kazuki heads up a signature stripped back, dust-coloured collection that's perfected with workman-like details, slim cuts and an edgy endnote of "Zivil Courage". It literally screams (or whispers) minimal chic.

A new addition to ObyO, the David Beckham x James Bond collection mixes up classic American sportswear with luxury materials, so you may look alternately gruff like Beckham and suave like Bond, but always like the big man you are.

adidas ObyO by Kazuki will be available at Surrender, 119 Devonshire Road, L2, from tomorrow onwards. The Jeremy Scott and David Beckham x James Bond collections will be exclusive to the adidas Originals Concept Store at Pacific Plaza, #01-09.
