MIAMI ART BASEL

Stunners touched down in Miami for a week of hedonistic fun in the sun during the Art Basel Festival. We had been booked to play at Rok Bar by our old friend and Stunners cohort, Sebastian Puga, who is now creative director there. Little did we know that MSTRKRFT and Guns & Bombs were also in town, so we all joined forces in a DJ tag team three-way and totally destroyed the venue. Below are two of the big tunes from the night.

His Majesty Andre - 'Peep Thong'

Machines Don't Care - 'Afro Jacker'

The DJ booth at Rok Bar is the best.

BRAND NEW STUNNERS 'SECOND COMING' MIXTAPE 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's finally here kids! After the massive critical success of the 'Really Ridiculously Good-Looking' Stunners' Mixtape 2008, which none other than DJ Mag described as "like a jolt of pure dancefloor electricity and a flood of nefarious chemicals straight to the aorta", Stunners have brought to you the second installment of their genre-busting and rule-breaking mixtapes.

Plus as a special bonus here is one of the tasty mash-ups from the mixtape unmixed for your own djing pleasure. Enjoy.

MADDOX AND ANTIPODEANS

OK, so slightly far fetched title pun from Noel Coward penned Mad Dogs and Englishmen. But thats the best way to describe the past few weeks. Yes we have been blessed with many a beautiful and charming girl from down-under. None more incredible than Ms Stephanie Carta, who turns out to be the mystery model from the shower at The Demolition Party. Well that is certainly one way to meet. Since their reunion, Stephanie and Wade have formed a formidable partnership, she even writes an amazing blog. Not often do we come across a like minded individual like Stephanie and we embrace here into our Stunners bosom. In an ideal world we would all move together with our Brothers and Sisters around the world and live on The Island (with sponsored Vodka of course).

Home to many of these wonderful nights have been at Maddox, who at first we didn't like too much of as a club, but over the past few weeks and particularly since Halloween has been an essential weekly fixture in the Stunners Diary. A lot of the thanks should go to Alex Lambrechts, who has managed to pull a vast array of beautiful girls out of the woodwork (not for the first time), but also so Swastika Pete who has been spinning with Wade and the occasional Hogwarts student. The nights start with a models squeezed into life-raft style dinner followed by pure Rock'n'Roll carnage. All in all Wednesdays at Maddox is the place to be, so come on down.

Join our Facebook Group and check out some amazing photos taken by none other than Mr Lambrechts himself.

Who hosts the occasional after-party. Very messy after party. Waking up with blank memory after party.

Don't try this at home kids. Stunners are highly trained street stuntmen and can more than likely fly anyway.

NOKIA PARTY @ BLOOMSBURY BALLROOM

Stunners International were confirmed to play the Nokia 'I Contain Music' party in the rather grand surroundings of the Bloomsbury Ballroom. As we arrived the queue was already stretching round the block. Among the celebrities spotted was a cool looking Dizzee Rascal plus a rather large entourage. Dizzee is a lovely guy who always has a smile on his face and this year he has really cemented his place among the elite of the British music industry with his massive number one hit 'Dance With Me'.

In the video you can see Wade sporting the new Stunners International T- Shirt collection. You can order yourself one of these cool limited edition tees right here.

Below is the now classic Crookers bootleg of 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, which features in the above video, plus our opening track on the night; '3 Days Awake' by Lytz, which was a masive hit in Berlin this summer. Enjoy.

PARIS FASHION WEEK

The recent fire in the Eurostar tunnel had made it a lot easier to change your ticket, thank god we needed to recover after a heavy month. We ended up missing the first 3 nights of fashion week, but we did turn up in Paris revitalized. 

We met up with Chris and Roxie for the best steak with mashed potatoes and a rich creamy bearnaise sauce. We followed that up with vast amounts of vodka. We met up with Annabelle Wallis at the Alexander McQueen party, she was the lovely Lara Bohinc, extremely talented Jewelry designer and now Mum, she looked amazing considering she only gave my birth a few months ago, we were actually meant to play the delivery but were in NY at the time. 

We brought them along to Le Baron where we were playing, and as we have mentioned loads before on this blog, it's one of our favorite places to play. This time we had the Olsen twins boogying down with as always a million hot chicks. 

None hotter though than Angela, who Wade had arranged to meet up with on the dance-floor and she arrived perfectly to tango... (missing scenes)

The next night we went so a Prada dinner after party where we up with Mr Laskey and his lovely friend Eden, who happens to be on the front cover of Vogue this month. We also met up with Finish stunner Ms Annika Stenvall who as ever was "Riot Girling". We left pretty quickly to go to the Paul&Joe party we were playing, but some reason it wasn't really happening, we did get there at 3am, has to be said. But luckily was still a free bar, so we ended up having the best most unpretentious fun. 

By Sunday we were starting to feel the pain, but still tried to steal the Mona Lisa, on touching another painting security was over Wade in millie-seconds. We did have a love bike journey through Paris and believe it or not came across Haders!!! 

That night went to Regine that night for the New York New York party, and it was great seeing Tommy Salah, Misshapes and Spencer Product. We spent most of the time running around the kitchen through these catacombs. Thanks to Dan for letting us stay, but it seemed Laskey had the most fun with a British super model in a strip bar. Dammit. 

FIONN IN TOKYO

A lot could be written of Fionn's 7 week "sabaticle" in Tokyo, but this video and the heart-achingly beautiful tune below pretty much sum it all up.

TIME OUT!!!

So Time Out celebrates 40 this week and one of our favorites girls happens to be one of London's 40 icons. We have known Lily Cole since she was barely a teenager and she has turned into a beautiful woman. You can read "her" interview here. The thing to bare in mind was that she let Wade & Spiky write it for her on a drunk night out, so she might come across a little arrogant, however the publicist obviously censored most of it. Well done Lily by the way.

Also well done to Erol Alkan for making the list. He is definitely one of our London icons and one of the main catalysts for a lot bands, friendships and shag-ons. He has produced 3 outstanding albums this year, Late Of The Pier's perhaps being the finest. You can read the interview here. This is one of the standout tracks from LOTP's Fantasy Black Channel album.
