Art/Design Twin Atlantic Breaks the Skin
June 15, 2009 - 10:26 am
Sam McTrusty looks nauseous. He’s about to commit an act that is essentially irreversible and permanent. The lead singer for rock band Twin Atlantic has burned a lot of brain cells contemplating this tattoo and the final verdict…a triangle. That’s right, one solitary triangle on the wrist. Its entirely loaded with meaning, and yet a basic shape that every child 2 and up can identify.
And that’s the beauty and the art of the tattoo. At its best it should mean the most to the one who wears it. Its so personal as a form of expression that it should be thought through and slept on for many many moons. Sam wanted to remember this place and time, and the triangle is a powerful symbol throughout history. It stands for the symbol for god, or the trinity, for power, danger, math, astrology and so much more. Those three little lines are loaded.
Music Twin Atlantic Plays the Viper Room
June 8, 2009 - 8:35 am
One of ChinaShop’s favorite new bands is Twin Atlantic. They play the rock-n-roll and all the little girls scream. Traveling all the way from Scotland to Los Angeles to record their first full length LP, they played an impromptu set at the world famous Viper Room. Since we first met up with Twin Atlantic in Austin, and since we have sentimental feelings for the Viper room it turned out to be a fortuitous happening.
