London Vs Southampton SW Special

It was a night to remember as Secret Wars went back to The Orange Rooms in Southampton for a one off special. Alfa and Teck were responsible for showing what London was made of, whilst Gustav and Brighton favourite Jeeba, were trusted to do away with the tourists.

There was a lot going on outside as Jimi C and Mr K painted panels outside, which were auctioned off at the end of the night....in fact there are still some panels available, so if you're interested, hit us back on southampton@secretwars.co.uk.

Anyway, back to the battle, it was great, both sides worked hard and afterwards, Teck played harder. The crowd vote naturally went to the home side, but both judges, Neil from the Orange Rooms and Andy from Southampton's Independent Skate Store 'Reskue' both voted in favour of London!!

So congrats to the guys - That makes it 1 - 1. See you again soon!!

A big thanks to Kyle for all his help, Neil for looking after everyone and of course, Reskue for supplying the paint. Check out their online store at http://www.reskue.co.uk/

Ain't no stopping the G man!

Reining Champion Gustav seems to be unstoppable. As the winner of Series 1, I was hoping, wishing, someone would be able to knock him out and it was looking like Vents could be that someone. Both artists made sure they went all out.

There was a great crowd in attendance, all wondering who would make it to the final. In the end judges Andy from Reskue Skate Store and Dexter from Orange Rooms both voted in favour of Gustav. The crowd helped make it 3-0.

A big shout out to Vents and Good luck to Gustav in the final

The Semi's are here

Rem 1 DNK Vs Derty Laundry

I'm happy to say this was one of the best battles I'd seen in a long time. Firstly, I was looking forward to meeting Derty Laundry. If you'd read his email, asking to compete, you'd know why + his style and work meant this was going to be different from anything I or anyone else would have seen.

Secondly I knew Rem 1 DNK would be able to hold his own and he did in traditional Secret Wars fashion, by going big and hard (Note to self, stop watching porn, just before I'm about to put a post on the blog)

It was a great turn out and R-Kid played a Bonza set (Note to self, don't talk to Aussie Greg, just before I put up a post on here)

Anyway, the judges found it difficult to pick a winner. Both artists were of the highest quality, which meant it was down to the crowd!!! But for them it was easy - REM 1 DNK!!

He'll be up against Pykee on Thursday 26th March!!

Well done and good luck!!

Secret Wars Brighton @ Audio Fri 30th January

Its finally here and on its way thanks to our hosts Audio Club. For more information email studio@secretwars.co.uk

Pykee Vs Mecha One

Well, firstly I have to congratulate Pykee on her victory. That's right, getting straight in there with the result.

I honestly thought Mecha One was going to win the battle as he got off to a good start. Pykee, slow at first was taking her time to make sure her piece was picture perfect. Again, the tail of the Tortoise and the Hare has been re-told Secret Wars stylee!

The first judge went for Mecha one, the crowd vote went to Pykee making it 1-1. The second judge, Buffy from the Soul Cellar assures me her vote was down to artistic preference and not a vote for girl power as she put pykee through to the 2nd semi-final. She'll meet eith Rem 1 DNK or Oliver Harud.

A big shout out to both artists who battled hard and if anyone's browsing the world wide web check out the Mecha One website to see more work and a sweet clothing collection.

Peace

Pykee Vs Mecha One

It's almost timer, just a quick reminder to get down to Soul Cellar this Thursday and show your support for the arts. This is going to be a manic round, with both artists bringing along with them plenty of supporters!! So see you there!

Gustoh Vs Vents - Round 2

Oh what a night - well, it could have been better turn out wise. Another nearby venue was running a night with Beardyman as the headline act and our very own Reeps 1 supporting. (That reminds me, Reeps, do you still want your knife? The one that's lodged in my back? Joke of course) So there was a lot of competition bar wise. But regardless of that, we proved that we've got a load of supporters who turned out to make it another great night.

But enough of that, because the real competition was between Gustoh and Vents, which I can honestly say, did not disappoint!

Both artists worked really hard and it was honestly one of the best battles I'd seen in Southampton for a while. Both going BIG and making their points as clear as a shit stain on a fresh pair of CK's. However there can only be one winner and on the night both judges (Chorley from Say Whoa and Gabriel from Orange Rooms) both voted in favour of Vents, who will now go up against last years winner, GUSTAV.

Again a big shout out to the artists that made the journey down. You can check out more work from them via the Secret Wars website. Just click on the artists name.
