Review: Outside Lands Festival 2016.

Outside Lands Festival is held annually in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, drawing an enormous crowd of approximately 60,000 attendees per day, and in 2016 they all came to see the likes of Lana Del Rey, LCD Soundsystem, Radiohead, The Last Shadow Puppets, Halsey, and more.

But the festival isn’t just about music, with local San Francisco culinary delights, as well as specific areas dedicated to your favourite types of food - Cheese Lands and Choco Lands are definitely the places to be.

Check out our thoughts and photos from our favourites at the festival below…

Review - The Kills, The Powerstation, July 2016.

The Kills’ return to New Zealand has been a long time coming - it’s been seven years, in fact, since they were last here - and the sold-out crowd at The Powerstation last night was a testament to the demand for their return, as the crowd was clearly hugely appreciative that the duo decided to pay a visit to lil’ old New Zealand while in the same continent for Splendour In The Grass.

Lontalius - 'Light Shines Through Dust' music video.

Coup De Main is excited to be the first in the world to be sharing Lontalius’ new music video ‘Light Shines Through Dust’ - lifted from his stunning debut release from earlier this year, 'I’ll Forget 17'.

The video was created by Arty Papageorgiou using a clever technique called Camera Obscura, also known as pin-hole camera. It’s a stunning video, made up of 4,000 photos that are stitched together to create a world in which Eddie’s music lives.
