Another hour, another Canadian Tux at Coffee Commissary – a.k.a. Land of Denim. If you think I’m joking, I saw SIX Canadian Tuxedos in less than 2 hours there yesterday. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Rheese Detrow, drummer in the band Dendelo, which just completed a new, yet-to-be-named album of raw/aggressive rock. Rheese is such a sweetheart; trying to imagine aggressive coming from him … I digress.
Anyway, Rheese is seen here in a vintage flannel-lined Levi’s jacket and LA-based Schaeffer’s Garment Hotel 15 oz. Japanese Denim jeans.
Here is Bill “Smitty” Smith, drummer in the band Truth & Salvage Co., rocking out in a Canadian Tuxedo (Gap jacket and Levi’s jeans) at The Spare Room in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Truth & Salvage can be seen at the Troubadour on March 24 at their farewell show before they relocate the band to Nashville. With indie denim powerhouse Imogene + Willie putting out some of the best double denim looks, we think Smitty will feel right at home.
I had the pleasure of seeing the enchanting songstress Rosa Pullman last night at The Spare Room. Loving her spin on the Canadian Tuxedo. Here she is in a girlie cropped Levi’s jacket and Garcia G. jeans. Click here to see a video of her recording “Mud and Rain.”
How appropriate for #MusicMonday! We just came across the Vancouver-based band Royal Canadian Tuxedo and their album Double Denim. Think they’ll write us a theme song?
What is it with the ladies in LA and their denim on Sundays??? Love it. I stumbled upon musician Cindian outside of my friends’ place this morning. (Killer Yard Sale on Stanley & Oakwood if you’re in the area.) The San Diego native is seen here in acid washed Volcom jeans and an H&M denim shirt. Check her music out on Soundcloud. Good stuff, especially now that the sun came out in Los Angeles.
Another Canadian Tux spotting at the Marvelous Toy debut album release party at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles. This time it was the Mathbot, who was draped in denim – vintage Levi’s jacket and women’s Old Navy jeans, “because they fit the best.” We’re a little unclear from the site what the Mathbot does, but gather he’s in a couple bands and part of some half robot movement – think Blogus Robotticelli and that dude from the LMFAO videos. Is there some secret half robot man society in LA? I must know more.
I saw John Keefe of Boys Like Girls last night at Darkroom in Los Angeles rocking a very cool Canadian Tuxedo. The Love Drunk drummer was in some Zara jeans with an amazing stitch treatment and an H&M jacket.
The Biebs is rocking more double denim than Rihanna these days! He was spotted this morning in LA, rolling out of an IHOP with his lady love, Selena Gomez. Just days earlier, he was on the other coast atop the Empire State Building in an Acne denim jacket and some black jeans.
That's one dope ass Canadian Tuxedo
