OVERTHROW presents BANAL STREET | an AQUA ART FAIR INSTALLATION from The Overthrow on Vimeo.

During this year’s international celebration of culture Art Basel Miami, Overthrow will be curating a booth at the Aqua Art Fair Miami as part of GenARTs Vanguard. Led by conceptual engineers Alexis Mincolla and Sam Baum, the collective plan to subvert the perception of buying and selling art by transforming their booth into an urban street market filled with iconic tourist souvenirs, bad knock-offs, and other mass-produced kitsch mixed with art work by some of Miami, Los Angeles and New York’s best young artists. Overthrow presents “Banal Street”.

The pompous attitude so often associated with the world of fine art turns off and excludes people that are interested in the culture. Due to arbitrarily high price points, galleries often assume a pretentious air in order to attract upscale collectors. However, art’s true value is not measured by the auctioneers’ gavel, but by the affect it has on its audience members. By reversing the environment associated with buying art it will force attendees to reassess the perceived value of art. By displaying and making available at low cost both original works and prints, collectors will not be limited by their budgets but by their taste.

The booth will serve both as a gallery selling art and an installation itself. The Overthrow Army are all contributing with street photography from The Huntress Stephanie Choate, set design by Snake Charmer Aban Sonia, and contributions from The Viking Stian Roenning (who will also be showing a separate show at the Aqua Art Fair). Displaying work from 131 Projects, Ross Ford, Johnny Robles, Adrienne Adar, and Matt Baum.

Don’t Sleep - The Primary Flight/Blue Print for Space
Kickoff Party

Collecting a group of artists whose fame and esteem is matched only by their infamy, Primary Flight is a collective of street and urban painters from around the country that “redecorates” the walls of Wynwood with giant murals LIVE throughout Miami’s Art Basel Festivities. This year the team, lead by Miami’s own bombing maestros Typoe and Books, goes in with its biggest, most aerosol blasting, paint dripping venture to date.

To celebrate, we are doing an equally massive kickoff event. With things being lead by master of ceremonies the legendary Dr. Dre, we will be having Primary Flight artist and creator of the iconic Barak Obama ‘HOPE’ image Shepard Fairey doing a DJ set, Stones Throw hip hop genius Peanut Butter Wolf doing a special video production, the next-MIA/Santigold-megastar-super-status Ebony Bones, and a 30 foot mega mural being painted LIVE by the crew.

And did we mention FREE DRINKS ALL NIGHT with a PROMETHEUS SPRINGS VIP AREA. Yeah, the paint is going to be the only thing getting drier during this jam.

This is the official Basel party for world famous nightlife photography site Lastnightsparty.com and designer sneaker company Supra. Hosting will be the infamous late-night photographer Bronques, with a special DJ set by skateboard legend Chad Muska who joins resident Misfit Damaged Goods. The entire Overthrow Army will be hosting as well as a laundry list of other HUGE secret guest musicians in town for Basel and the biggest stars of the young art world.

DANGER LIVE - ART BASEL 2009- Louis 12.04.09 from The Overthrow on Vimeo.

Steve Aoki is a long haired ball of acid washed jeans wearing, head banging electro energy, moshing and crowd surfing his way across the world, playing out his own personal metal fantasies on a stage in front of thousands of screamning fans.

Mansion, it’s your turn!

The founder of Dim Mak Records hits the big house this Wed November 25th in the largest club in Miami and he is taking no prisoners!

For complimentary lob an Overthrow name grenade at the door and because its Aoki it’s going to be slammed so early arrival (before 1 cool kids) is highly recommended.

The clock is ticking…

We’d like to preemptive strike and just go ahead and say it now: you’re welcome.

We know on this Thanksgiving as people get together with their families and closest friends, everyone will be doing the same thing: thanking the Misfits. You know what? You deserve it, you bunch of out of control sexed up, hard drinking and harder dancing hooligans. The whole city of Miami, nay!, the whole world owes you a debt of gratitude for being that much radder, that much more seductive, then everyone expects things to be.

So on this Thanksgiving, raise a glass of red wine and toast yourself, Discotech (Danny Daze), Damaged Goods, and your good friends Overthrow, for being the baddest bunch of bastards to ever chug from a bottle of booze. Misfit Friday at Louis in the Gansevoort on Miami Beach, FL

Dirty indeed. Between Samantha Ronson and Damaged Goods at Misfit Friday at Louis in the Gansevoort South on South Beach and Klever, DG and Troy Kurtz! at Arcade Saturday at White Room in downtown Miami, things were downright filthy. Someone pass the Purell because these pictures by Anthony Verrilli are not doing anything to clean things up. See the hot mess for yourself by clicking on the picture above or anywhere on this paragraph.

After the 10,000 calorie Thanksgiving feasts and the 8,000 calorie leftover snack, your going to need to involve yourself in some strenuous activity to avoid not hooking up with that person from high-school you never hooked up with but always wanted to that you’ve been conveniently sending witty Facebook wall posts to more and more as the days to Thanksgiving draw near.

How’s about you burn that extra slice of pumpkin pie with chocolate chips and cool whip by shaking your stuffing Saturday in downtown Miamiat the White Room to one of the true legends of indie dance, Mattie Safer, former member of the greatest indie dance rock group ever The Rapture?!

We’ve had Mattie before and he is by far one of the most fun DJs we’ve ever had the pleasure of making out with a girl in a onesie to! But he is not alone people. Its Thanksgiving and that means the whole Overthrow extended family will be in town to carve the party: dynamic production/DJ duo Pirate Stereo is going to be going in with their exclusive remixes and debuting NEW TRACKS, Damaged Goods is going to show why he is the most in demand DJ in Miami right now, and Troy Kurtz! will be finally unfurling his unmatched collection of the best shit you go home immediately after the party to download. Holding down the Red Room will be breaks with The Future Sounds of Breaks (whose girls nearly had dollar bills flying with their incredible dancing, for real) and Juan Basshead getting deep with his Miami Dubstep sound.

Arcade Saturday - Come play.

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Heaven Can Wait from Charlotte Gainsbourg on Vimeo.

First of all, Charlotte Gainsbourg is bad ass because she flits around doing what all daughters of notorious French playboys should do: making strange movies with great directors and brilliant costars (Michel Gondry’s Science of Sleep with Gael Garcia Bernal), making even stranger movies about torturing Spiderman villians,, and making great music with a bunch of incredible musicians.

I mean come on! America gets Paris Hilton fucking in night vision and France gets Charlotte Gainsbourg making subtly uber-violent videos with Beck? What the fuck?!

This video honestly has some of the weirdest details snuck in all over the place. Can someone please do an in-depth analysis of the imagery in this video and give some Freudian insight that lets us know that rhinos in bathtubs are symbolic for our will towards self destruction? At least try to figure out what is better then a skateboard suspended mid ollie on a stack of hamburgers!

If you like Dubstep, this event is not be missed.

All the way from the birthplace of Dubstep in England, DJ Joker has taken the low end bass frequencies and created an entirely new sound known as Purple, a melodic, soulful subgenre that uses the bass as a foundation for a musical experience unlike anything else out there.

Come feel/hear it for yourself at Shake as he makes a very special Miami appearance at The Vagabond.

Also playing will be Overthrow DJ Damaged Goods, Juan Basshead, Otto Von Schirach, and a host of Miami’s finest.

Shake baby.

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to the Overthrow Carnival of the Absurd!

This week at Misfit Friday, we present the magical sounds of the masters of mystery, Damaged Goods and Troy Kurtz!

Trained in the illicit arts of spells at high volume, they will be mixing up a potion that is one part sexy dance music, two parts party jams, and three parts drunken hookupery!

Experience the marvels of the MIsfits this Friday at Louis in the Gansrevoort South.
