4ys_battle

Check out the killer colonial-influenced video for “Tonight We Feel Alive (On A Saturday)” by Four Year Strong right now on PLAY. We love the action-packed saga, and not just because one of our favorite directors, Thomas Colella, ( honorary member of the Lockerz crew whose directed many of the Lockerz Originals videos)directed this better-than-Braveheart gem.

More good news! This 5-man American power-pop/post-hardcore band from Worcester, Massachusetts could be playing in a city near you as they are heading out on their Tonight We Feel Alive! tour. Be sure to check them out and experience the mayhem!

Ping Pong is Sexy

Paul&Aubrey

Ping pong was once the sport of the fashion set. Back in the day, icons like Audrey Hepburn and Paul Newman showed their cool spin.

Now the back and forth sport is hotter than ever so dust off that table from your parent’s basement or hit up the table in your college dorm.

She’s come a long way from her days as a party girl/Paris Hilton sidekick. Now mother of two, Nicole Richie’s won over the fashion world with her own collection House of Harlow.  Like her own celebrated bohemian, yet glamorous style, Nicole’s  jewelry is the perfect expert blend of vintage and modern, and we’ve pretty much been lusting after all of it. Which is why we’re thrilled to have it now in SHOP.

Homecoming in NYC

HM_NY_1

Hey Monday played a show in NYC just for Lockerz members. This is a show we did for members, exclusive only to Lockerz.  We loved the band’s energy and they were into the Lockerz nation. Anthony talked to them about hanging out online, tours, finding new music, Speedos and text regrets. And of course, we filmed the show.

HM_NY_2

We imagine in a few years when the band is filling stadiums, people will be tracking down footage of this intimate, amazing performance. But you can get it right now and hear their spectacular version of “Homecoming.” Right here.

HM_NY_3

Cassadee and the boys rip it up. We’ll have more footage coming up so stay tuned.
