When the arts collide with technology...

Local musician and fast eddie's dirty laundry favorite BCap has ventured into a new realm of creative development with his latest project. Melding the mediums of music, visual arts and technology, "Cap" is reaching to new heights. We don't want to spoil the show, but here's a small clip of a recent rehearsal at an undisclosed location. The official unveiling will be held on May 21st at Foobar in Portsmouth at a show headlined by Sleep Wonder of Thievery Corporation. Doors are at 7pm, and Cap will take the stage at 9pm. Don't miss the most interesting exploration of innovative musical expression!!! Keep it coming Cap... 

This guy is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roy Slaper makes some incredible jeans, that's a well known fact among denim geeks. But...it's how easy he makes it look that really inspires. Considering every inch and stitch is hand cut and placed, down to the embossing on the leather hip patch, you can see why these jeans are revered. Check out the video below to watch this master of denim "whip" together a pair of raw denim jeans. He's like some kind of freak, but in a good way. We'd love to see it all go down live and in person. While we don't carry ROY jeans, we have mad respect for this guy's skills. He's certainly has the love. Keep on keepin' on Roy!!!

Original Penguin Features Spring Collection in New Video

Who knew Penguins loved warm weather????  Our friends at the Original Penguin brand have launched a new video highlighting their Spring and Summer 2011 collections.  Many of the styles, including swimwear, seen in the clip are or will be available at fast eddie's dirty laundry over the coming months. We are excited at how well the new collection has been received thus far. A lot of of the styles in this season's assortment take on that "Classic Penguin" look, but still have a very contemporary feel to them. Some call outs are the slub tees and board shorts. As always, the polos are already flying off the shelves. Stop on by and see the latest offerings for yourself.  

Apparently, Ryan Phillipe found the decks in Portsmouth...

...wellllll....maybe he wasn't quite at the decks in Portsmouth, but he sure looks like he was in this photo taken over the weekend.  Seen here sporting a pair of AG Jeans, Ryan looks like he went about thirteen rounds with the Old Ferry Landing's infamous Jimmy Juice.  While we certainly appreciate his choice in denim (we're guessing the AG Protege in a charcoal wash), the team here at fast eddie's dirty laundry would like to advise Mr. Phillipe to be on the look out for either those sneaky bartenders or the paparazzi. The two simply don't mix. If you want a similar look to Ryan's --sans the alcohol induced puffy face-- stop by the store and check out AG Jeans denim for yourself. While you're at it, stop by the Old Ferry Landing as well.  We hear they are opening up in the coming days!  



And so it begins...Again...

Local favorite, Eric Bradley, pours good times at Poco's Deck which is set to reopen today for the summer season.



While summer isn't quite here yet, it appears we are on the "brink" of the first big social weekend of the season here in Portsmouth. Rumor has it that Eric Bradley and the rest of the Poco's Deck Squad spent the day yesterday prepping the bar for what is certain to be a boon-doggle of epic proportions. The weather report is calling for temperatures in and around the 60's with the only potential blip being a few showers on Sunday. Our assumption is that others decks will be open as well, ushering in the next round of summer debauchery on the Seacoast.  We'll be doing our best to keep the "Dirty Laundry Basket" filled with all the local happenings. In addition, we'll have our stealth photographer on the prowl over the coming months to capture some candid moments on the local scene. Stay tuned, everyone....shaping up to be a good one! See you in a few, Bradley. Keep a couple on ice for us!!!!
