'Fassine have a restrained yet wonderfully defined palette. Oppressive yet artful music of an electronic bent, the three-piece sit in a wonderfully British lineage of pop futurists.' Clash Magazine
'Forge' is an intriguingly cinematic, psychedelic art-rockin’ work that should prick the ear of curious listeners.' Prog Magazine
'Sonically there’s a real sense of chiaroscuro on Forge, swelling, airy moments of light that battle and merge with grainy undercurrents of shadows and doom.' Aesthetica
You are cordially invited to attend the exclusive album listening party and artwork exhibition of Fassine’s latest
album release ‘Never to Heaven’.
The exhibition sees Fassine collaborate with King in a 'without boundaries' concept of music and imagery. King says of the project 'We wanted to see how close of a marriage music and imagery could create, where the song provides the soundtrack to the world I built visually’.
About Never to Heaven
Explosive and daring ‘Never to Heaven’ sweeps away all prior themes of previous album ‘Forge’. Where ‘Forge’ focussed on the unassuming heroes of society, here is the antithesis, a sister album of anti-heroes. Fassine say of the album’s themes, 'the album is not didactic, neither loving nor judging; its observational and meant to open conversation, sometimes with tongue firmly in cheek'.
About Jimmy King
With over 30-years of experience at the heart of the fashion and music industry, stylist, photographer and creative force Jimmy King hosts his first eagerly anticipated photography exhibition at Proud Galleries. Famously private, King is best known for his long-term association with the late, great David Bowie, with whom he worked with over a twenty-year period.
Hosted at London’s influential Proud Galleries and in association with Don Papa Rum.

Proud Galleries presents LEW ALLEN'S Elvis & The Birth of Rock

‘Looking back, I realised that I had witnessed and captured part of the birth of rock ’n’ roll.’ Lew Allen
An exclusive exhibition shown for the very first time in London, the collection offers rarely-seen vintage and modern prints of stunning images captured by Lew Allen. Shot in Cleveland and New York from 1956 to ‘58, Allen’s work features Elvis Presley and a stellar assemblage of early rock ’n’ roll icons such as The Everly Brothers, Bobby Darin, Frankie Avalon and Buddy Holly. His lens embodies one of the last links to visually document those early days when rock was just beginning. This remarkable work takes you back to a time before these rock pioneers rose to legendary status.
A ground-breaking show brings together a comprehensive selection of photography prints, delving into a wonderful and nostalgic bygone era that captured the meteoric rise of the ‘King of Rock’; The year was 1956, a defining year for Elvis Presley, with the singer being on the brink of superstardom. In January, his first number one hit Heartbreak Hotel was followed by his first album topping the charts in March. The landmark gig that Lew Allen serendipitously captured on film took place a couple of months after Presley's world debut on the Ed Sullivan Show, and just days after the premiere of his first blockbuster film, Love Me Tender. Elvis influenced and paved the way for the early ‘Rock Party' bus tours, when musicians travelled by bus, helped each other creatively, carried their own stage outfits and equipment and were backed by the local orchestra. These bus tours were truly the first integrated shows where the artists travelled together regardless of their race or background. Lew Allen photographed two of these ‘Rock Party' bus tours.
‘Elvis was a church-going, gentle, kind, considerate, back-woods country kid. Polite beyond words. That is how I remember him because of the way he interacted with me. That was my Elvis.’ Lew Allen
'I attended Lew Allen's exhibition in Liverpool with his nephew Bob Shatten. To me, the importance of any good photograph is firstly that it stops you, then, in looking at it, you can set inside and be in the room, on the stage, behind the three little girls with ribbons in their hair. That is the power of good photography.’ Mike McCartney
About Lew Allen
Currently residing in America, Lew Allen received a Bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1961 and studied with photographers Minor White, Ralph Hattersley and attended lectures from Ansel Adams. Lew Allen’s photography was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London -in conjunction with a BBC documentary featuring his story of Elvis. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery selected his work for their permanent collection.
