It’s sad that Kanye West beat Kindercore to the punch on this one: this Japanese art show is kind of like cow parade or those damn bulldogs scattered around Athens, only all in one place and with Darth Vader helmets.

If I’d wear this one, I know you would.

Hello peoples!

I am in the process of updating the Kindercore shop with new stuff. I just uploaded 3 original one of a kind acrylic on wood paintings by The Buddy System’s Lauren Gregg. Buy ‘em HERE!

In the next few weeks I will be adding a vinyl section to the shop where you can buy Kindercore stuff that people have long thought was out of print (but was really just in my closets and shed). Sorry eBay, looks like those jacked up prices for Of Montreal and Dressy Bessy vinyl have met their match!

Then we’ll drop the Buddy System/Ruby Isle - Return to Buddy Isle color vinyl split 7″ featuring “Tesla Sez” and “Flagpole Sitta” from the Buddy System and “Hey Hey Hey” and “No Sweatpants” from Ruby Isle!!

Of course none of this compares to the main event - Ruby Isle’s debut “Night Shot” - which hits the streets and the internets on 9/16 but will be debuting in our shop exclusively sometime in the next week or so.

So why not head over to the shop and treat yourself to something pretty? You’ll be happy you did. Promise!

-Ryan

So today is the anniversary of my lovely wife’s D.O.B. and as part of her present I got my Buddy System bandmate and all around buddy Lauren Gregg to paint a Lewis Fambly portrait. The resulting painting is far cooler than I could have imagined so I am sharing it here for all to see.

Please to enjoy the Lewis Fambly…

Most people who lurk around this here blog have heard of The Buddy System but seeing as how we are getting ready to head to SXSW I figured I would post some videos (sorry about the crap quality of YouTube) and an MP3 demo as an introduction for the uninitiated.

The Buddy System creates original short films (cartoons) then plays the live soundtrack in front of projection of said films (cartoons). The group is made up of Ryan Lewis (that’s me. I previously played in The Agenda, The Four Corners, Kincaid, The Sunshine Fix, etc), Mat Lewis (my brother. Previously of The Agenda, The Max Levine Ensemble, The Pocket Rockets[Teenbeat]) and Lauren Gregg & Craig Sheldon of the Kangaroo Alliance animation studio (they made the video for Of Montreal’s “Wraith Pinned…” and had the first animation podcast on iTunes, in addition to working for Disney, Nickelodeon, Yo Gabba Gabba, Target, etc)!

Check out the videos, snag the MP3 (keeping in mind that it’s a demo ‘natch), make friends with the band and then make plans to hang in person at The Light Bar on Friday March 14th at 11pm.
