100 shirt party vids!

and this is our 100th post!!

the following is a great little player of all the vids from the show. it will update when we update them.

Lots of Shirts and Lots of Works

I took a moment from sewing and drawing and dye'ing (yes with ties!) to let you three people know that we are having a t shirt party near the end of this month, we have a date but it isnt for sure for sure... so i cant devuldge yet.

On Wednesday Sept. 10th the empire had a premiere of its first ever short film. entitled "Have you ever dated a guy before?" we are pleased with the final product and will be adding it to the webernet very soon.

much thanks to family contact for putting on the show and including our work in it!

stay tuned to the streets and the webs for more on the work .h.e. is doing.

.h.e. loves you!

h.e. is an Excellent Steel Horse

As you may or may not know, the empire recently created a visual accompaniment to the song "Excellent Steel Horse" by Toronto band Rock Plaza Central. That video has now been released online by spin.com! wonderful news for the empire and a great starting point for a great video. you can find the article here.

For those of you who are wondering if we are even a shirt company still... keep in mind that we have short attention spans and the sport of chinlone has landed in our hearts. Fear not, we still keep a large section of that organ for our shirts, and we are happy to announce a "100 shirt party!" stay tuned for more info, but expect bands, fun, shirts, and good times.

imagine a reality: the DD/MM/YYYY video

The boys in DD/M/YYYY stopped by the empire after a summer tour, with DVDs full of what went down. they planned out something spectacular, and Mike was able to create that with the hours of footage Kyle transfered from the DVD's. here are his efforts.

h.e. loves hump days

today is a good day, so far very exciting... last night was Dinosaur Bones, and it was a fantastic night!!! so much positive energy arising from multiple people and boy does it make you enjoy youtrself. We filmed the show, and pictures were taken! by the one and only asen3000 and his partner in crime!

so much of that will be dealt with tonight, and shown to you immediately!!!

so its an exciting day, but the outside sure counters that, FIERCELY!!!! i mean, if you're in the Toronto area, right now, then you're looking at a shit fit, its gnarly and gross and wet and your feet just feel like you know your getting a sickness.

but there is much work to do yet, so i will stay highburnated for now.

h.e. loves you.

h.e. misses Dallas

Dallas has been in Windsor for about 2 weeks, but he is coming back to the big smoke tonight!!! which is good!! Mikey has a broken foot, we wish him a quick and powerful recovery, luckily it is snowing now, so the injury is a tad more tolerable, but still terrible.

<3 .humble.empire.

h.e. skates with Mikey

Mike Plantus, finally we have some footage of Mike Plantus... its hard to get footy of Mikey, because he just likes to skate, straight up... he also completely rips shit apart, so when you can get a camera on him... the munts come out!

this is up in the mess btw, along with so much more!!!! SO CHECK IT.

h.e. skates | vol.01

here is the first promo, for the Skate Division of Humble Empire.

If you are on Facebook, and Richard Tandor's friend, then you may or may not know about the h.e. Launch Party we are having on the 13th of October. it will be at our house, 276 Crawford. Come if you're in the area!! it should be grand, and shirts will be available.

peace in the middle east.

h.e. filmed Tyburn Tree.

So when I was in Windsor, for a weekend... It wasn't because I'm crazy, sure, one could argue that very successfully. Why would one go to Windsor anyways, I mean, its your hometown Kyle, yes. But still!! this place is desolate to say the least. The funny thing about Windsor is that, on occasion, without warning... something great will happen. At times like these the orgiastic state of consumerism and manufacturing begin to erode before your very eyes, and the beautiful under-lying fabric that we, as skateboarders, created. Becomes the truth, the end, the only reason. We remember why we started skating in the first place. Because we needed a way out of Windsor. Be it physically or mentally, no matter where we are, even while in Windsor, If we get on that board... we can seperate ourselves from the beast of the "Motor-City's" retarded Canadian Cousin... The "City of Roses."


Oh. and I filmed Tyburn Tree... for much the same reasons as above, Windsor's Hardcore scene can be pretty awesome. you can see more of their songs on Veoh.com


Tyburn Tree - Journal of The Plague Years



to further more touch on what this actual site is for... T SHIRTS!!! last night after I spent some hours with the lovely Sarah Castle, and after recieving two new games for the fancy white box attached to my television that emits light, and reacts to my fingers gestures on a wire-free control pad... stimulating my happiness nodes in my body controller (brain). MJ turned to me and said "Kyle, T shirts... we gotta" I say "ye, we do" so.... we will, whats different from any other time I said that we would? Mike and I now live together, so, hope to see you in a h.e. shirt soon!

for now,
piss out.

h.e. fixed it

As you may know(if you check this site), there was a problem with the current message. But I fixed it today, and I have news about the very first h.e. video! We will be shooting most likely in september, or possibly october, but it will feature all of the skateboarders, and hopefully many friends. If you buy a shirt after the video is done, you will get a copy of the video... free!!!


Cheers!

h.e. updated.

Yes! Rejoice!

Its Finally happening!! the site is beginning to take form... just added the message and the mess!!

The message is where we will be posting random drawings, and comics of the like... where as the mess... well the title pretty much sells itself, for now videos.... more garbage most likely tho!! and watch for the first installment of "h.e. skates" a series of skate montages featuring humble riders.
