about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

SPOEK WENT TO US FOR SXSW AND CAME BACK

Post date Wed 18 May 2011 9:21 PM
A couple of months ago I went to America on tour with the biiiiig homey, Chllngr aka Steve Borth aka Stevezey aka Saxophone Messiah and we played about 12 pretty shitty paying but fun gigs in San Fransisco, LA, El Paso, Boise (the white supremacy capital of the US), Seattle, Portland, San Diego and about 4 at SXSW in Austin...most of the shows we played we did in conjunction with out LA homeys Rainbow Arabia. The tour was peaceful after that much traveling together you might expect some epic weirdness but all in all it was a good family affair.
Best memories...We opened for Puff Daddy at the Fader Fort (and didnt stop talking about him for the next couple days). We ate tons of tortillas, nachos, enchilladas and quesedillas...stayed with a Texas drug dealer(unbeknownst to us)... driving through Colorado mountain ranges...being in a partytruck with some 10 insane Oakland arthippies, including an asian gyal hat designer who was wearing one of her creations, a hat made up of 10 little hats spread all over her head...aftermath of Trash Talk  at Fader Fort...producing songs with Steve in the back of the car(songs that are makingf up my Spoek Mathambo debut on SubPop)...shooting the 'Drunk Like That' music video in Brooklyn with Cerebral Vortex which'll be out soon enough. 
The funniest/weirdest thing about SXSW:
ALL PICS BY MY MANAGER JULIE VERGEZ
Driving, driving, we supposedly cleared about 8000km...some fun, some crazy, a lot scarey with paranoid Steve checking local laws on open container et al on his iPhone. 

 

This is Stevezy aka Chllngr
Emeka of GCTC swagging the fuck out, before we hit the midnite pizzaria and saw some fixed gear bike dude fighting in the street...definately contender for one of teh funnest nights!! Seaeeeeeeatle
At emily's house, who can be seen throwing up dueces behind my head whiles her man is faaast asleep behind us...about an hour later he had to go, 'Emily...come on...you gotta get to sleep...COME ON'...we were having two much fun. They were both incredibly nice hosts!
You know what I was thinking...mexxxxxxxxxicanfood!!
Still at Emily's house
Still at Em's house...producing beats on the blowup!!
At the Sub Pop office...I just signed the deal and am gasssssssssed!!
'Ei, this is Stevezy...I think the track needs more flavour'
