ELECTRIC WIRE HUSTLE
Developed their own sound and twist on modern hip hop, psychedelic and soul. Electric Wire Hustle's unique sound challenges genre boundaries and preconceptions. The music of EWH reaches forward while referencing key points of the music's past. EWH is like a warm blanked of sounds. Thick drums, hints of the Fender Rhodes and nylon stringed guitars will have your neck snapping while your ear cranes to the evocative vocals of Mara TK.

Last weekend the Steve Irwin set course to Cannes to visit the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. They were there to the support the screening of Peter Brown's film, Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist (a chronicle on the work of Captain Paul Watson) and to raise funds for Operation Blue Rage 2 (their upcoming campaign to protect endangered bluefin tuna).
HoodLamb came out to visit to give a donation of Sea Shepherd x HoodLamb wear for the crew. We were invited onto the legendary Steve Irwin as VIP guests and got a chance to be crew for a day.
Meeting up with the Sea Shepherd crew we got the idea of putting on a fashion show where the crew members are the super models of the show. While the world was caught up in fear of rapture, we had a great night showing off the latest Sea Shepherd x HoodLamb gear to Captain Watson and invited guests!
Read Paul Watson's Cannes report and find out more about Sea Shepherd here.
