We took four A-list artists wayyyy back to where they started, worn out American dive bars.
No arenas, no pyrotechnics, no auto tune, no rules.
The ensuing cross country tour spanned the back half of 2019, boasting some of the most intimate
performances, rad merchandise, and all around good times these hole-in-the-walls have ever seen.
Bringing It Back //
No matter how big our artists became, they never forgot their dive days. It's where they cut their teeth and found their sound. We wanted that "retrospective" feeling of nostalgia to come across visually and viscerally through every piece of the campaign.To ensure the right vibes, we soaked all of our deliverables in a rough-and-ready, vintage inspired aesthetic and shot on + mixed in 8mm film↑
Getting The Right Reactions //
Natural and authentic tonality was a must. So, we prompted truly unrehearsed and candid responses from our artists by creating custom photo albums full of unreleased pictures they hadn't seen for years, provided by their management. Here is Judah and the Lion's. I had to get craftyyy...SHOWTIME! 🍻🎸🚬✨😎🎤🔥🔊

He wanted to drop his album release date and first ever live performance of his newest single "Circles" at his dive bar show. We also launched an extremely limited merch release that sold out faster than the last Bud Light at final call. Oh yeah and Sublime was there...... wut😵🔥
