SHOWS DE MUSICA AO VIVO EM SAO PAULO

 

Kia’Ora

O Kia’Ora é uma casa que se inspirou nos moldes dos pubs da Austrália e da Nova Zelândia. O lugar é voltado para um público mais jovem, que curte pop rock e se interessa por rugby. A casa dispõe de cinco ambientes: o mezanino (para eventos), a varanda, o espaço de jogos, o lounge e a área reservada ao bar e o palco para shows.O cardápio, como não poderia ser diferente, tem o estilo australiano, com alguns petiscos como o Mouse Trap (torradas com vegemite e cubinhos de queijo derretidos) ou o Tri-Nation Olives (azeitonas verdes e pretas recheadas). Há opções de lanches, saladas e sobremesas.

Rua Doutor Eduardo de Souza Aranha, 377,Itaim Bibi – Zona Sul –  (11) 3846-8300

 LONDON STATION

A casa noturna London Station foi inspirada nas movimentadas estações de metrô de Londres tanto na decoração, como no cardápio e no line-up. O ambiente inusitado e, ao mesmo tempo, com um clima fino, já fez a casa cair no gosto de quem procura sofisticação até na hora de badalar.
O set list é repleto de influências do house, hip hop e break beats, trio de sucesso além das fronteiras nacionais. DJs de destaque se revezam nas pick-ups, inovando o som com o uso da percussão.
O cardápio foi montando para fugir do tradicional. Quem quiser curtir o restaurante, apreciará um menu internacional. Destaque para o Chicken Tika Massala, prato de origem indiana a base de curry e frango, um dos preferidos dos londrinos.

MORRISON

Como o nome mesmo ja dá a idéia, é um lugar para fans de rock. Ainda mais para quem curte The Doors. Fica rolando um solzinho legal dele até a apresentação da banda da noite. Realmente covers muito bons. Mas só vá se vc for realmente curtir a musica. Apesar de parecer uma baladinha, não é. Só roqueiros, e a rigor. Mas vale para conhecer!

BLACKMORE

A CASA A partir de 06/Junho de 2003, a cidade de São Paulo tão carente em espaços destinados ao heavy-rock, ganhou um novo espaço para os apreciadores da boa música… o Blackmore Rock Bar !!

O Blackmore Rock Bar não é uma casa qualquer, nasceu e foi criada por e para rockers, com preocupações que só quem vive e respira música pode ter, assim, o Blackmore Rock Bar tem uma localização privilegiada, situado à Alameda dos Maracatins, 1.317, no coração de Moema, bem atrás do Shopping Center Ibirapuera. Apesar da vizinhança estritamente comercial, o Blackmore Rock Bar não atrapalha nem mesmo quem circula pela calçada à pé: tem completo isolamento acústico, o que também implica perfeita propagação interna do som que vem do maior palco roqueiro de São Paulo, de cerca de 30 metros quadrados, a uma altura que sempre permite total visibilidade dos músicos e de suas performances.

Alameda dos Maracatins, 1317, Moema – Zona Sul (11) 5041-9340

BELATRIX

A BANDA

E se num passe de mágica você pudesse colocar num caldeirão todas as influências, músicas e bandas que fizeram você dançar e se divertir? Sem preconceitos, somente o gosto por uma boa melodia, uma batida dançante, um riff de guitarra inesquecível.

E se não importasse quando nem a onde você se entregou a essa sensação? Pode ter sido hoje, no carro de manhã, nas “10 mais do dia” da rádio ou numa festa da sua adolescência meio borrada na sua memória.

E se a única coisa que importasse fosse o ímpeto de levantar e dançar?

Foi isso que a Bellatrix sonhou em fazer e concretiza a cada show. Músicas contagiantes, dançantes e sem preconceitos, pra agradar a todos, em qualquer lugar e a qualquer hora. Tudo isso com uma dosagem pra lá de correta entre mulheres e homens. Uma banda cheia de sensualidade, porém com pegada. Um acontecimento único em cada show!

Com um repertório abrangente e envolvente você vai ouvir de Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Beyoncè, Gwen Stefani e Snow Patrol passando por Madonna, Kate Perry, Pink e terminado em Pretenders, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Cindy Lauper e A-ha. Todas as décadas, todos os sucessos, todos os artistas, um único objetivo: colocar você pra dançar, muito, o tempo inteiro.

Na banda, músicos experientes (Quasímodo, Rock Boxx, Nabucodonosor, U2 Cover, Luisa Possi, Jay Vaquer, KLB, etc…): Bia Lombardi (vocais), Fred Barion (bateria), Inho (guitarra), Fê Iglesias (baixo) e Nei Medeiros (teclado). No palco, coelhinhos da Duracell, incansáveis. Casas onde a banda colocou e coloca todo mundo pra chacoalhar e dançar: London Station, Kiaora, Dublin, Paddy´s Pub, Morrison, etc…

EVERYTHING LED

Posted in DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE by ADRIANA SASSOON on Thursday, January 15, 2009

wet-ltt-thumb.jpg

Decorating with LED is easy. After learning about many LED enabled home fixtures, we’ve understood that the most of them if not all can be installed by regular contractors or plumbers, with no special skills required. Really, all it takes is to plug in a LED powering connection via low voltage adapter that comes with the product (some can even run on batteries). LED is definitely in the trend. Already today you can decorate your home with LED. Be the first to surprise your guests. But before we’ll show you a few great products that will set this new trend in your home, let us comfort you with a few important facts about LED…

 

Bathroom: Chromatheraphy – set your mood with the right color

WellSpring Steam Shower by Hansgrohe … Light up your steam shower with the LED color, change it based on your mood. The WellSpring’s LED chromotheraphy in 4 colors is only one of many features to enjoy you bathing with in this high-end system.

 

HansaColourShower by Hansa … take a shower with the LED colored rain. Let it light on when water on automaticaly or manualy change between 8 colors including white from the lit control panel, as you desire. LEDs installed right in the showerhead, combined with multiple spray options help to create a very relaxing showering experience.

Whole House: Practical LED

brighthandle-handle.jpg

Brighthandle LED lit door handle … it changes its color from Green to Red when you lock the door. What a practical way to show others that the room is occupied. Brighthandle also brings colors to home interior. We find the Brighthandle to be one of the most practical LED application in home decor.

 

Bathroom: Changing Colors with TemperatureAnother LED’s fascinating feature that brings art and unexpected to modern home decor – the ability to change color with changing temperature. In the case of Nephopia basin, the glass color is changing, and with Hansacanyon the color of the water is changing.

Hansacanyon LED lit faucet from Hansa … is a high-tech water and light control system – with water temperature changing from cold to hot, the water color is changing from Blue to Red. Along with the faucet, also available is the illuminated waterfall spout that can be either a tub filler or an overhead shower. Even the temperature control buttons are illuminated.

Bathroom: LED Lighted Faucet, Lavatory and Tub – practical and beautiful

 

 

Take a clear or translucent material and make faucets, sinks and tubs out of it, then light them up with LED… how thoughtful and how aesthetic. These fixtures don’t just set a nice atmosphere and make a very modern statement, they create a friendly glow by night so you won’t trip over when looking for your loo. You can leave the LED light on – it won’t cost you more than leaving your computer on.

The Neve Brick Faucet by Neve Rubinetterrie… more like art in your bathroom that mixes water and light. The two versions Brick Glas (transparent) and Brick Ice (opal) are available with a choice of white, red, orange, blue or green LED light.

wet-ltt-sink-tub-blue.jpg

The LTT tubs and LTB lavatories from Wet, and Italian company … these objects are some of the most impressive LED driven designs. You see them and you want them, and they are priced on a budget. And not just for adults – would it be much easier to convince your child to take a bath in a lighted tub? Both the bathtub and the sink are made from polyethylene and are illuminated with a built-in multicolored, low-voltage electronic LED device that can be programmed for time, color and color intensity. A transformer is included. Buy them at Giant.

“Why LED?”, people ask. Because… LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, bring FUN, FUNCTION and BEAUTY to home decor.
On a more technical note…
LED is virtually maintenance free – it rarely burns out; it lasts for 100,000 hours on average. No filament to burn out, unlike in ordinary incandescent bulbs. By some sources, LEDs can last for as long as 40 years.
LED is a low cost light source – in LED bulbs, 90% of energy is converted into light, while in incandescent bulbs 90% of energy goes to heat and only 10% to visible light.
led-diods.jpg LED is safe – it requires low voltage DC electric current and can run on batteries, and it’s safe to the touch – it doesn’t get hot.
LED light is easy to see even in bright sunlight.
LED can be illuminated in many colors including a very recent addition of White and Blue. Other are Green, Cyan, Red, Red Orange and Amber.
LED can change its light color.
LEDs are very inexpensive – some priced at .50 cents.
LEDs are easy to implement – they are just tiny bulbs that fit easily into modern electric circuits.
LEDS are durable – they aren’t glass but small plastic bulbs.
Do you need more LED advantages…?! And there’s more… Incidentally, just when we were writing this article, the news came up about the LED discovery made accidentally… The news basically say the LEDs will replace the common incandescent bulbs.. See how LED works in more details.

LED will lead and light up the future.
LED will play a major role in contemporary decor. If today’s contemporary style means decorating with colors … tomorrow’s contemporary style will be decorating with colors of LIGHT… The LED revolution in the interior design has already began…

Now that we know why LED is in, let’s see some examples of how it transforms the home decor of today, room by room…

Dining: Add Magic with LED

The LED table by Ingo Maurer … Thinking about a romantic candlelight dinner under the stars? Instead, spend a ’starry’ night at this LED lighted table, and you’ll fill your romance… ‘above’ the stars. Designed by Ingo Maurer in 2003(!), this magic table lights up with 278 white LEDs per leaf and is available in 2-leaf ($14,850) and 3-leaf ($22,421) version at Unica.

Kitchen: Lighted Water

kwc-eve-led-ring.jpg

The KWC Eve Kitchen Faucet … Illuminating water is not new but when your kitchen faucet does it, is. Imaging yourself entertaining your guests in a darken kitchen… and suddenly they see the blue lighted water… this will set the party trend. Eve has only became available since August of 2005, from Swiss KWC. It’s fascinating how this small and elegant faucet is made so innovative and practical. It has a pull-out that you don’t see right away. The LED-lighting ring is integrated into the pull-out. You press a button on the pull-out, and Eve will not only illuminate water flow but provide effective lighting of the workplace as well. The LED application is supported by the Luminaqua light technology that uses a low voltage of 6.75V and is absolutely safe. It will automatically switch itself off after 45 minutes, and will use up very little electricity thanks to the LED efficiency. The pull-out extends up to 2 feet and the swivel rotates 270 degree. Available with no LED as well.

Kitchen: Cooking with Fun

Imago LED Illuminated Hood from Faber … a mood setter in the Kitchen. Add some fun to your boring kitchen appliances. Besides LED lights, it comes with a built-in TV.

ANIMALE

Posted in DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE by ADRIANA SASSOON on Thursday, January 15, 2009

ANIMALE

Once upon a time people used to hunt animals for their meat and skin. The meat used to keep them well fed and the skin well protected from the vagaries of nature. As they progressed in evolution, the animal skins found a place in their homes first used as sleeping rugs and later for beautification.

The rugs, no matter what type you would choose, would instantly make the room look prettier and interesting looking.  Try putting one as the fist thing that your feet touch on the floor in the morning or in the drawing in front of your favorite arm chair and so on, and see the difference.You will find that wherever you put the animal print rugs, there would be an instant and very beautiful change to the room and overall to the house. A word of warning in case you use it on freshly polished wooden floors, you might need some anti skid tape under it, or you would risk injury by falling as soon as you put your foot on it.

 The History Of The Animal Print Rugs

That was once upon a time when human beings were primitive; then came an era when human beings developed a peculiar thirst for animal blood giving hunting the name of royal game where royalty and other people of influence chose to animals not for their meat (to eat) or skin (to cover) but for greed and relaxation.

At that time it was considered chic to have the hide of the animal you slew tanned and displayed on your wall in the drawing room, or as a rug on the floor in a prominent place. Almost all the kings would have some type or other animal rugs in their palaces along with huge stuffed animals that they hunted, or their heads as trophies.

The Animal Print Rugs Today

Thankfully, hunting is no more considered a great “sport” everywhere in the world as people realize that there is nothing glorious in killing an animal with the latest gun while hiding in a machan. However, the trend of having animal print rugs in your home has not yet died. Of course, today animal print rugs do not mean animal skin. In fact, if you would be careful, the very name indicates that this is not supposed to be the real skin but only their prints.

In this way you have plenty to choose from you could choose from the following animal print rugs – lion, tiger, zebra, goat, wild cat, leopard, panther, grizzly bear, polar bear, wolf and many more.

Animal Print Architecture

Modern Homes

Demonstrating the pervasive influence of animal prints – there is now even a stunning luxury home with a nature inspired camouflage exterior! Even modern homes can get in on the animal print trend – as shown by the eco-friendly Orchid House designed by Featherstone Associates. The outer shell of the fascinating UK home is of laminated veneer lumber and covered in timber shingles, sporting a pattern they will help it to fit into its 450-acre nature reserve habitat!

 Tiles are a practical and decorative way to add animal prints anywhere. The Animalier tiles from Settecento combine great looks and a fun tactile element. Leo, Zebra and Cobra patterns can be combined or used individually on walls or around key features in the bathroom for emphasis. Wild Thing Daktari also favours a surrealistic twist for high impact. These animal printed tiles are a playful option – the patterns appear abstract – copied from an animated jungle inhabitant rather than a real one! A timeless, sophisticated interpretation of the animal print trend, the Leopardo is from the 2008 Mosaic Tiles collection by Bisazza. Formed by an intricate pattern of tiny mosaic tiles, the Leopardo is truly precious. Mosaic tiles, by nature of their small size, are fantastically versatile too.

Animal Print Accessories

Lamps
Whether you are looking for an accent for a neutral decor, or seeking to pick up your chosen animal print themes, accessories are the perfect solution. The Vivarini Giraffe and Zebra collections of Murano glass lamps from Formia are bold yet refined. Their abstract animal print patterns allow the light to shine out from within, to emphasise their pretty, delicate glass forms. The lamps come in a variety of different shapes, appropriate for wall, ceiling, table or floor.

Vessels
With the exciting Ethnic collection of
animal print vessels from Vitruvit you can choose your favourite pattern from a wide range including snake, leopard, giraffe, and crocodile. Not only that, you can also choose from a range of distinctively shaped sinks. Focusing on the great prints and forms of the sinks, Vitruvit designers Manuela Busetti and Andrea Garuti have chosen the most minimal of slits for the water to escape, keeping your focus firmly on the shape and print of each vessel.

 Vanities


Vanities can be used as a showcase for animal prints too… the AdattoCasa Couture vanities show their true stripes in the best possible way! Topped with a modern basin, the body of the vanity is wrapped in a terrific animal print, adding a new dimension of interest to a functional piece. Whether finished with a glossy black snakeskin or an impressive tiled zebra or giraffe print, these simple Couture
vanities are totally contemporary.
