We recently told you about A Club Called Rhonda one of the wildest parties in Los Angeles. At the time, it had just gone weekly and was turning up the heat for summer. Since then, they have managed to book some of the hottest dance acts from Morgan Geist, IN Flagranti, and Metro Area to Little Boots and Holy Ghost.
The summer is coming to an end, so make sure to get there–they have the girls from Posso the Spat the spat this week. Here are some pics taken throughout the summer at Rhonda:

Antony and the Johnsons will finally be releasing some new material. The new album The Crying Light has been pushed back until January ‘09, but this fall an EP entitled “Another World” will be released on Oct 7th.
In support of the release, he will be doing two very special shows, accompanied by a 20-piece orchestra playing scores co-arranged with Nico Muhly. The performances will take place on October 14th at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and Oct 16th at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
Antony has a knack for playing very special venues, the last couple of times I saw him he played a movie theatre and a park, and both were very special nights. Get your tickets now before these shows sell out.

Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs just opened a new exhibition of his photographs at the Fuse Gallery in NYC. The exhibition runs from now until Sept 13th.
Zinner studied photography at Bard college and has had 3 photography books published. Here is how he describes his work:
“I have become more fascinated with the ambiguity of an image. If you remove the facts and the dates and are just left with the image, that image to me is strongest, when each viewer can attach their own meaning to it.”

TV on the Radio are doing a not-so-secret show this Monday, August 18th at Santos Party House in New York City. If you haven’t checked out Santos yet and you live in NYC, you probably should since they are booking amazing things week after week.
This monday there will be a benefit concert called “Laventille Bus” with performances by Simply Fly (aka TV on the Radio) , Dragons of Zynth and the Brooklyn Jumbues Caribbean performance troupe. The show will be a benefit for SFOTE’s 2008 educational Initiative, which provides children free sustainable transportation to and from school.
100% of the proceeds will go to the busing system in Laventille, Trinidad. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased here. Get them before it sells out.

Last Saturday I found myself at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, as I often do throughout the summer. No, I wasn’t conjuring up Johnny Ramones‘ spirit, but I was watching Sixteen Candles.
This weekend you’ll find me in the same spot taking in another of my all-time favorite films, Badlands. Made in 1974, this movie is directed by Terrence Malick and stars Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen, who are young, sexy and rather stylish in their roles as a murderous teenage couple running from the cops in the badlands of South Dakota.
Sheen does his best James Dean playing Charles Starkweather, while Spacek quietly plays the mysterious and startled Caril Anne Fugate. The narrative is based on the true events of a 1958 murder spree, which was a huge national sensation at the time. As the story goes, the 19-year-old Starkweather killed the 14-year-old Fugate’s mother and stepfather (after shooting a gas station attendant who wouldn’t sell him a stuffed animal), and then the two went ‘a running and ‘a killing some more.
It’s a grim story, but it makes for a fascinating story and a cinematically stellar film. The true events are actually the inspiration for Natural Born Killers and the Springsteen song “Nebraska” as well. And, yes, I’m a little obsessed with Sissy Spacek’s look in Badlands.
See it Saturday, August 16

Artist Ed Trask applies some finishing touches on “Flowers and Bones”
Giant Robot’s new photo exhibit “Insiders, Outsiders & the Middle” is currently on display at the Scion Instillation L.A. gallery in Culver City. Threadtrend was lucky enough to be invited to press viewing before the opening and see the artists at work setting up.
We highly suggest you see that show–it’s on until August 23.
Here’s a peek
The Parisian artist known as SPACE INVADER insisted I take this pic from an angle to do it justice. This is made from Rubik’s Cubes and is part of a movement call Rubix Cubism. If you have an iPhone, point it toward this piece (”400 Chinese Rubix Cubes”) if you go to the show because it has a QR code.
This is also the work of INVADER:
Here are some neat and quirky works by Adrian Johnson:
Here’s Nao Harada, the guy behind WRECKS clothing, who was nice enough to let me take this action shot.
