In Love with Slow Club

After a busy weekend at Tramlines in Sheffield running round to see loads of bands and performances we fell insanely in love with Slow Club.

The duo have been around for a while now with two successful albums, touring worldwide and featuring celebs in their videos. After they played the main stage on Sunday at Tramlines Festival, introducing new songs with a full band including a brass section and some pretty heart wrenching vocals from the gorgeous Becky, we are pretty sure they just stepped it up in this business.

The duo have a lovely enthusiasm when performing and clearly a great friendship that makes them instantly likeable. We caught up with the busy Becky from Slow Club and asked her a few questions on her Tramlines experience, her stage wear and where she finds the best vintage around the world!

HI BECKY... HOW WAS YOUR TRAMLINES WEEKEND?

I loved my Tramlines weekend! I slipped on a chip butty and split my lip and also was a bit too fabulous on the Sunday evening but apart from that it was great. I loved my city being full of people enjoying themselves. The vibe was so, so nice, it was a pleasure to play on the main stage to all our family and friends too. Roll on the next one!

DID YOU GET TO SEE MANY BANDS?

I saw The Crookes play before us. I probably haven't seen them play for about 2-3 years and it was amazing to see how mega they are now. I also saw my dear Sweet Baboo play the best gig of his life at the Queens Social. All of his band play in Slow Club so it's always just dead spesh to see them play.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON AND WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE NEW ALBUM?

We are currently working on the new album in Sheffield with Colin Elliot. It is going really well, we are really excited and happy with the new stuff. I am bursting to have people hear it and get back on tour! I shall not rest until we have a Grammy.

SUM UP THE NEW ALBUM IN 3 WORDS.

So, so Fabulous.

WHAT'S YOUR MUST-HAVE STAGE WEAR?

I used to freak out about what to wear on stage but recently I've started to have a bit more fun with it. I'd love to be more glamourous but on stage as in life I never feel better and more myself than being a bit of a tom boy. I own so many pretty dresses and sexy things but I will ALWAYS  go for a t-shirt and jeans at the last minute. Perhaps that needs to change?

YOU HAVE BEEN TOURING WORLDWIDE, WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO SHOP FOR VINTAGE? IF YOU GET TIME.

I always do pretty well in Birmingham and Glasgow. Maybe because I know where to look but I always plan to visit shops when we play there. I have picked up some tasty gems across America but Thrift stores in cities, much like charity shops here, are being over taken and over priced. I get most of my vintage from a table top sale at an animal sanctuary near my parents house. I'd tell you where but I would have to kill you. It's Rotherham's best kept secret!

Thanks Becky! Looking to seeing and hearing more soon! Here are some of COW's fave songs and videos from Slow Club so far!

Oh! Karen O - Get The Look

Yeah Yeah Yeahs had a short break and then dived straight backed into our lives recently with lead lady Karen O sporting a new blonde bob hair do and a wonderful selection of new stage costumes as well as some amazing suits! Performing at festivals all over the world including last weekends Latitude Festival and Coachella, you can't miss the screaching and thrashing around on stage and her outfits make it all the more interesting to watch!

So far we've seen prints, fringing, bold colours, embellishment and even a shawl of tinsel! We have always loved Karen O and with the help of the rock 'n' roll style attitude, she can wear whatever she wants and we always look forward to watching.

A new hope for KOL?

Remember when KOL look like this? And sounded like this? 

Ahh the good ole days, they feel like a long time ago and thats cause they kinda are but good news people it looks like they have taken a positive step backwards from the stadium rock mush that they have been producing of late and moved towards the earlier muffled vocals, snappy base lines and sharp guitars of Youth and Young Manhood & Aha Shake heartbreak. 

Although the title of the single 'Supersoaker' is pretty... well unexciting it does seem to be ticking far more boxes than anything from their last studio album (what was it called?) oh yea 'Come Around Sundown'. 

Are we seeing a new dawn to KOL? 

I suppose we will have to wait and see until the new album 'Mechanical Bull' is released on the 24th September. 

Until then Enjoy the Single.

~PEACE~

Meet The Team! Ramario Chevoy

Say Hi to another one of our super stylish team from COW Nottingham Ramario Chevoy!! We asked him a few questions about his influences, what he gets up to and how he manages to rock up looking cool as f*!@ every day!

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?

Hello! I am Ramario and I work in Cow Vintage Nottingham as Part Time Sales Advisor.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?

I would describe my style as eclectic because I don't have one set style it literally changes everyday.

WHERE DO YOU FIND MOST OF YOUR CLOTHES?

Lol, I find the majority of my clothes at Cow but also online places such as Ebay and other independent designers like Jade Clark, Hyena and Kokon To Zai..

IS THERE ANYONE THAT INFLUENCES YOUR STYLE?

Hmmmmm, this is a hard question but there are a few people who influence me, such as Azelia Banks, Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga. The reason I say these people is because when it comes to fashion they are risk takers and are not scared to wear anything they want and they don't care what people think which is exactly what I'm like.
I think people forget that fashion should be fun and you should never be scared to experiment and try new things. I don't really have any male style influences but I do like the way R&B singer Miguel dresses, but I just feel that men don't take as many risks as women in fashion..  it is 2013 and old fashioned rules are made to be broken in my eyes.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING IN COW AT THE MINUTE?

My favourite things are the American football vests and jerseys we have in. I love them and I own a few!

YOU HAVE GAINED ALOT OF FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS.. WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE LOVE TO SEE YOUR OUTFITS?

Again this is a hard question to answer but I would probably say they could be interested because they might want to try certain looks I've done but just haven't known how to wear it or put it together so hopefully my daily outfit posts will give them some inspiration.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING ON YOUR DAYS OFF?

Well I also teach dance so on my days off I will probably doing that or getting my hair done, got to keep it looking fresh! LOL!

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST GUYS SHOULD BE LOOKING TO WEAR OVER THE SUMMER?

Defo defo defo an American football jersey, snapbacks and shorts!

WHAT 3 THINGS CAN'T YOU LIVE WITHOUT FROM YOUR WARDROBE?

Just 3..? I can't live without everything in my wardrobe but if I had to pick 3 things they would be my Buffalo platform shoes, my hat collection for those days when my hair is looking a little rough and all of my costume jewellery!

 Thanks Ramario!! Love it all and if you want to follow Ramario to see how and what he wears next check out his Instagram:
