For Fall 2011, we are excited to announce that Devendra Banhart has contributed to COMUNE’s Drop City program by adapting an original piece of art to one of our 40 single tees.

COMUNE Drop City Contributor, Alana Paterson has a great feature in this months issue of Bitch Slap Magazine (Denmark), check it out.

The Liars have been rocking COMUNE ever since we connected with them back at SXSW in 2010. The band has been feverishly touring in support of their latest full-length 'Sisterworld' with front man Angus Andrew proudly supporting COMUNE both on-stage and off.

Anytime I hear a new band, I always check out the stuff that they are listening to. A few months ago when I first surfed the Dirty Beaches blog I came across a band called, "The Offset: Spectacle."  I dug around a bit more and found out that they were a part of another project...

It’s been forever since I have been to Detroit, which is weird cause at one point it seemed that going there was a weekly occurrence for everyone.  Recently they have really stepped up their program has far as whom they are putting on the bill, last night I had the pleasure of seeing White Fence.

It didn’t snow in Tahoe for almost the entire month of January. Out of curiosity and boredom Corey Smith decided to attempt to build some handmade snowboards. He was interested in long boarding style in surfing and exploring similar concepts on snow. He wanted to deconstruct contemporary snowboarding down to its simplest element and find...

Yesterday, the COMUNE crew and friends made the journey by train up to Olvera Street in Los Angeles to celebrate in the cultural experience of Cinco De Mayo.  What started off as a causal train ride quickly escalated into a wild partaking of endless margaritas and tequila shots, gut filling Mexican food at El Paseo...
