Neon Trees rock Han Cholo on The Tonight Show

Neon Trees gave us all something to glow about January 18th on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Rocking Han Cholo's finest, styled by our lovely Han Chola, Donna Lisa, Neon Trees performed their new single "1983" for millions of viewers and fans. Formed initially by neighbors Tyler Glenn (vocals, keyboards) and Chris Allen (guitar), the band made its first home in Provo, Utah eventually adding Branden Campbell (bass guitar, vocals) and Elaine Bradley (drums, percussion, vocals) to the lineup. Their first single "Animal" quickly shot to #1 on the Alternative Rock Chart, and "1983" is now following in its same path. With their recently announced confirmation for Coachella 2011, there's no doubt we'll all be dreaming of the 80s...

Special thanks to Neon Trees for being rad.

CHRISTIAN RICH rocks HAN CHOLO

Christian Rich are one of the most exciting and innovative duos in music today. These Chicago-born, electro-beat-making, cleverrhyming, falsetto-singing artists/producers are paving a new lane in music with a roster of production credits under their belts. The twin brothers have, up until now, been a quiet force in platinum-charting hip-hop, helping to make hit records for artists like The Clipse, Young Gunz, GLC and Hey Champ just to name a few. Be on a look out for these two to make a lot of noise in and out of the industry. Maybe a possible CRxHC collab in the works?? Stay tuned...

CHRISTIAN RICH x HAN CHOLO collaboration in the works.

Keep up!

Store Spotlight: Suru

SURU is a Los Angeles-based concept retail store, co-owned by Joe Hahn of Linkin Park. "Suru" is the Japanese word for "hand printed," and the store strives to "combine the world of art and fashion into a retail store that caters to today’s ever growing demand for high end street wear and fashion-forward consumers." SURU focuses on releasing rare and exclusive merchandise.

And if that isn't enough to get you to stop by... it's located on Melrose and there's a conveyor belt revolving around the store. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill retail store.

Thanks Lynnica for holding Han Cholo down at SURU.
