Our friend Gervase de Wilde writes for the Guardian, and we’ve been secretly hoping he’d get Just A Band a feature in the paper… but as it turns out the band shows up in the travel section as a fine example of Nairobi’s lively music scene. No need to paraphrase, just click on the image!
The review is in the paper mag, but apparently not on the website… thanks to our buddy Georg from Outhere Records for pointing this one out!!
Who knew… the Kenyan viral craze reaches the pages of the almighty Wall Street Journal – clash of the titans! Read the piece here, and enjoy some of the recent magazine coverage below:
When Akwaaba boy Benjamin Lebrave did the photo session with NY photographer Mark Squires, he was told that everybody wants to be in the Last Magazine, but that the mag’s picky editorial team turned down anything if they’d heard of it already: so no J-Lo or Lady Gaga in their pages, they are last as in first, and Mark automatically gave Benjamin major props just for having been chosen by the mag. Besides flattery and making his subject comfortable, we like to think that we are indeed the shiznit for landing this piece, which is well written by casting wizard and apparently quite talented occaasional writer Natalie Joos. Also check out this awesome video of someone flipping through the magazine’s pages. You can download a pdf of the article here, or find the entire mag at Colette in Paris – where else!
Short but sweet – page 64 of this LA institution of a magazine.. thanks to Tamara for hooking it up!
Thanks to Gervase de Wilde for his time and hook ups last month in London! Download the full article (pdf) here.
