Welcome to the Groove Grove Graphics blog. This blog is part of an exhibition celebrating the revolution, rebellion and hedonism of West London's music scene that shook the world. The exhibition opens on 9th July 2010 at londonprintstudio close to Ladbroke Grove in London.
Groove Grove Graphics is a unique exhibition about West London’s spectacular contribution to world pop culture. It features outstanding graphics, design and music from the early 50's to the present, in a specially created environment. Home to residents from Dusty Springfield, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Freddie Mercury of Queen, to Seal, All Saints, Damon Albarn and Lily Allen, the area was at the centre of London's underground and punk culture in the '60's and '70's, and was featured in Mick Jagger's notorious film 'Performance'. Ladbroke Grove and the Westway have a mythical status in music history as The Clash, Motorhead and many others hung out close to legendary record companies -Trojan, Stiff, Rough Trade, Island, ZTT, and Virgin.
Through this blog Groove Grove Graphics will begin to share the remarkable story of how successive waves of music came to dominate the world, growing out of West London’s varied communities of economic migrants, political exiles and young hedonists.
Groove Grove Graphics blog encourages interaction and discussion with anyone who’s interested in the West London music scene. We’d love to hear your opinions, stories and even playlist suggestions for each theme as it is unveiled on a weekly basis, so make sure to visit regularly and get commenting on the blog!
