The Week Of Love

So it's that time of year again folks...this funny old week when the nation splits in two; those who are loved up and those who roam the planet freely in a liberated fashion. At Native Faces these two divides are represented equally - and we think both are just as important. So in honour of Valentine's day, all our gigs this week will be themed and romance-filled!


At Smash and Grab this Thursday (and possibly Koko and Flowerpot on Saturday if you really want it) we will be providing you with a night of traffic light love....


The rules are simple:

Green Heart = Hey Ho, let's go!

Amber/Gold Heart = I could well be persuaded...

Red Heart = I'm loved up and taken.

There's no excuse for moping around this year. If you're single, you don some green glitter and find someone lovely to kiss. We take all the need for ground work away - therefore providing more time for fun!

So you will find us this week at:

Thursday:

Smash and Grab @ Proud
I Blame Coco is playing and the Queens of Noize are on decks - how can it not be good?

Saturday

Buttoned Down Disco @ Koko
The grand opening of the all-new glitter parlour! Come, chill out and have your face painted before continuing with your night of dancing and romancing!

Ronnkiepop @ Flowerpot
Everyone's favourite Saturday night spot these days. Ronnkiepop will have the usual tunes and good times...as well as all the lovely faces. You never know, you might get to kiss one!


We've been busy of late. We played the night of serious fun that was Greco-Roman. If you weren't there, we're not even going to attempt to describe how good it was. We've also been doing many a photo shoot. We did some cracking faces at a shoot in East London last week for a new night at the Scala called The Game. It launches on the 10th April and looks set to be quite the party. We hear tales of burlesque, comedy, strippers and, of course, face painting! We'll give you more info closer to the time.


Here are some shots of some of our very own Native Girls from our snow-filled shoot for you to feast your eyes on - enjoy!

See you for love and kissing at Smash folks. xx

Greco-Roman...

is at Manor House Warehouse. 17 Overbury Road. Come find us...

Ali Native is also painting in Manchester tonight for all you student ravers heading to Pangea. Everything she makes will go to Haiti. Message her on Facebook - Ali Ehrlich.x x

Face Painting Is Cool

So face painting is cool. We think this, and so do the nice people at Vogue it seems. This month's issue features an article on why big, fun make up is just so in this season. Apparently we're revolting against the trends we grew up around in the 90s - minimal and natural. Hell knows we spent hours learning to apply our make up in a way that made us look like we weren't wearing any at all. We recommend you read the article - it's good.

It's time to break free boys and girls from conservative attitudes that are so two decades ago. Make-up is fun. Natives love it and we want you all to love it too. We've been trying out some great products recently and we're going to start letting you know about our favourites so you don't miss out on the goodies!

This Saturday we're going to be painting faces here...

These parties are good. The location is kept quiet until close to the night...check back at the end of the week and we'll give you a heads up.


So we're currently donating 20% of what we make to the people of Haiti. Thank you to everyone who's given extra and donated what they can. If you want to help, the link below will take you to a page where you can donate money to the cause.

Native Faces at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes for Swap & Bowl

Glitter tastic!

Thanks to everyone who paid our glitter booth a visit over the weekend, it was great to meet you all and whilst painting your faces we raised money for the Haiti earthquake appeal at the same time. We'll be doing the same over the coming weeks, making a donation to the appeal from the nights we are at.

We had a brilliant time at Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Ronnkie Pop and hope you all did to. More exciting news is that this Thursday (the 21st) sees us joining the Smash & Grab team at Proud Galleries, Camden! We cannot wait. With photo booths, dressing up boxes and much much more these guys know how to have a good time! Come down come down, we want to see you there.

So for now we'll say goodbye, see you Thursday, and check out our favourites from the past week.

Love,

The Natives x x
