Once again we find ourselves in the familiar premises of KL...more specifically Zouk KL! Streething had asked us to support their All In The Family event that features street art, streetwear, customised toys and sneakers, and the highlight being a live installation by Dave White, Lazy and SBTG on the same stage all at once!!!

We were there for the free booze...oh and of course the tees we designed and printed for the event. Shout out to Darbotz for his killer monster design!

Huge thanks to everyone of the sponsors and artistes that made this event happen!!! You are all in our family.

Influenced by various facets of street culture, VERY MASA interprets our lifestyles into high quality products. Made for conscious individuals who appreciates and understands functionality and refined aesthetics. All fabrics are hand picked and constructed to our highest specifications. VERY MASA is a brand, a movement and a lifestyle…
 

VERY MASA's latest line, First Delivery, includes 5 panel caps in 3 distinct styles. The Crack for sneaker heads and crackle aficionados, Classic Check for those mature minds and Shadow Camo for the camouflage lover in all of us.

Key features

4. Adjustable strap: fully adjustable to fit most heads

5. Ventilation holes: two small silver ventilation holes on each side of the cap keeps moisture out and maintains visual appeal

Streething presents “ALL IN THE FAMILY”

Date: 16 February, 2008

Time: 6.30pm – 11.00pm

Venue: Zouk, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Get ready for a post-Valentine’s day massacre as the Streething family takes over Zouk once again. Unlike past events like last year’s successful Swap & Gawp 2007 meet that was more focused on sneakers, ALL IN THE FAMILY is a call to arms to all our extended family members in South East Asia Pacific. This round there will be no extremity, no rim land, no borders! Your ridiculous obsession with streetwear is your access to this event!

ALL IN THE FAMILY presents regionally acclaimed appearance and performances from wall to wall. Our non-stop line-ups of Art, Action, Music, Fashion will definitely hold your senses hostage

6:30pm: Graffiti installation by some of the regions best represented street artists, including:

Darbotz (Indonesia)

Jahan (Taiwan/Singapore)

Orkibal (Malaysia)

Phobia Crew (Malaysia)

Shieko (Malaysia)

The Killer Gerbil (Singapore)

Action: Simultaneous skate demo by leading skateboarders and rollerbladers from the region will be leaving skid marks all over Zouk, line ups are:

Riyaz (Malaysia)

Kecik Ampang (Malaysia)

Preduce (Thailand)

Wheel Love Rollers (Malaysia)

Music: At 8.00pm, guests will be ushered into the Mainroom, where globe-trotting rapper, MC Vandal (Canada), will pump his lyrical prowess against a backdrop of montages and footage from past Streething events.

Fashion: We will be presenting streetwear fashion show styled by Ethan Chu that will feature family members modeling streetwear from streetwear stores around the region. Our invited Models are not your average Kent and Barbies but of local trendsetters and influencers. It is our personal illustration of how real fashion should be represented by “REAL PEOPLE”

Music again: the Lapsap crew (DJ Blink and DJ XU) will be bringing their unique mix of funky and eclectic tunes to keep the party in an enrapture throughout the night.

Art again but nevertheless…The highlight of the night will be a live sketching demonstration by renowned artist Dave White (UK), who will be making his first public appearance in Malaysia. Another high point will be an installation by esteemed sneaker customizers Mark Ong aka SBTG and Lazy.

There will be also display of customized sneakers, bearbricks, toys and art pieces at stadium area (mezzanine floor) brought to you by:

Apart from that, there will be a limited print run of T-shirts designed by Darbotz and the Sole Obsession collective up for sale. People who purchase aformentioned T-shirts qualify for a lucky draw, with a stash of prizes that include mobile phones courtesy of Samsung Mobile.

and if you really have no clue, what we are rambling about in the past 8 paragraphs above, we are simply saying, Come Party with us and you would witness the “authenticity” of the word streetwear in real representation ..FINALLY!!!


Sole Obsession for Streething and Darbotz

Specially made for Streething's All in the Family event, 16 Feb 2008, KL.
