Los Angeles is not really known as a place to experience new music, at least not these days, but we have a new found hope after our friend Beau Swayze from CAA invited us out to see this Australian band Andy Clockwise. Andy Kelly, a.k.a. Andy Clockwise along with his drummer Stella Mozgawa and Bassist Josh Norton rocked the famous Troubador. Not only did they impress us with their music, but we loved their style.

We’ve never wanted to be a performer more in our life, the female drummer Stella, who has a resume of playing with Smashing Pumpkins, KISS, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Perry Ferrell – to name a few – rocked her own style while rocking the room with her drumming skills. Doning a furry hat with ear flaps, black shorts, black tights with a run in them and a proper white blouse. Now usually we would say no one looks good in tights with holes, but if you saw Stella, well she can pulled it off – even that hat worked. Maybe its that we were in awe of her energy, or maybe it was just that she seemed like that sort of rocker chick we all have once wanted to be, in like an iconic Joan Jett way, whatever the case, we are big fans now.

She and the lead singer Andy created an electric energy that kept you both moving and staring, while the bassist rocked in and out of the act in the most perfect way. Then just when we did not think we could love Stella anymore, she jumped out from behind her drums and broke into song with Andy, “Open Relationship“, the words made us smile, laugh, even blush, and the beat forced us to bust a move. In an effort to share this song with you, we found a video, not the best quality, but its the best we have for now. Hopefully we can direct you to purchase their music sooner than later.

Style is certainly best when its original and unique, not only did Andy Clockwise win our ears, they won our eyes and we can’t wait to see what is next for them. A combination of Beck, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and maybe even Prince, with soul screams, a sense of humor, dual drumming and jumping into the crowds, they had us at hello, just like Tom Cruise did in Jerry Macguire.

To get Stella’s look and explore your own rockstar, even if it just means blasting music in your car and singing at the top of your lungs, we suggest the following;
1. white blouse, tommy hilfiger
2. black shorts, h&m
3. semi-opaque black tights, h&m

Lily Allen Paying Tribute to Michael Jackson Wearing One Glove

Despite the muddy fun, attendees were still stylish at this the Glastonbury’s festival 2009. Much like America’s Coachella or Lollapalooza, tons of musicans perform on various stages, including; Cold War Kids, Jason Mraz, David Guetta, Peter, Bjorn and John, Blur, Crosby, Stills and Nash, N*E*R*D, Franz Ferdinand, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lady GaGa, Lilly Allen, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and hundreds more.

Lily Allen wore an outrageous jumper and had no problems admitting her wardrobe malfunctions, similar to Janet Jackson’s back from Super Bowl days. Lily paid tribute to the late pop icon Michael Jackson, wearing one white glove. Before she performed, she was wearing Wellies (boots), like most music lovers attending the festival, despite the sun shining most of the time, it did rain at the start so the Wellies proved to be quite smart.

Daisy Lowe, Pixie Geldof and Kelly Osbourne Rock Wellies

The sun was shining, but music lovers still arrived in Wellies (boots), prepared for mud, Naomi Campbell wore special edition Jimmy Choo crocodile print Wellies, which are only available on the Jimmy Choo website. We were told the demand was so high for these Wellies that last month customers were being placed on a wait list!  Department stores in the US like Nordstrom’s or London’s Harvey Nichols are two great places to find fashionable, yet afforable Wellies.  These boots are great for anything from rainy days, to Sundance Film Festival or, of course, Glastonbury next year.
