Urban Perk #1

Hey Everyone,

I've been away in Istanbul (hence the lack of 

content) but I'm back now!

Since the weekend is on it's way I'm going to show

you some inspiration on where you could go 

this weekend. This is my first Urban Perk

post of many to come (I hope), these locations 

are chosen based on factors such as People, 

Entertainment, Price and Fun/Interesting-ness.

The locations are aimed at Teens who want to 

explore further than the nearest shopping

center.

Warning: Be prepared to discover new territory, home to 

the world's wildest.

Urban Perk #1: Southbank Real Food Market

Entertainment: Food, an occasional vintage fair, 

entertainers on the river

People: Friendly ~ Price: £

The Southbank Real Food Market takes place every

weekend (Fri-Sun) and offers a gorgeous variety

of food, from Chorizo to Chapatis even the pickiest

of eaters will find something to their liking. 

And not only that but after buying your food you

can walk down to the Thames and watch the Skateborders 

backside and bail at the skate park or laugh with

the  entertainers on the riverside. 

My favourite part of visiting the Southbank is

watching the oh-so-cool skateborders try out 

new tricks. And if the weather's good, the 

River Thames sparkles magnificently whilst boats

and tourists cross by boat and bridge. 

Here are some photos I took on my visit a few

weeks ago:

Southbank Skate Park

Amazing Brownies!

Fresh Juices 

Creperie Lui

Hotdog!

Be sure to check out the hotdogs and brownies,

they're seriously good!

Love,

Poppy 

Ps. A new interview will be posted on 

Saturday :D

If I Could Pick Any Song...

It would be...

Fever 

by

The Black Keys

Electro-pop/rock beats bop their way tunefully through

this catchy, foot tapping, head nodding experience.

Dan Auerbach weaves high notes in and out of the glorious 

effects, his passionate voice is enhanced by Patrick Carney's voice effects creating a brilliant contrast to the sharp tune.

One of The Black Keys' best so far!

And if you're feeling adventurous why not try

Lonely Boy or Gold On The Ceiling

by The Black Keys too?

One last thing, I will be posting a few more

interviews soon and I will also have one of my first

official places-to-see posts!

I can't wait to show them to you.

Have a lovely evening,

New and Upcoming Artists #FourFavourites

                                               

NEW UPCOMING ARTISTS:

These are my top artist discoveries of the year (so far), 

take a look:

Banks

This singer has a soft, R&B inspired voice, 

if you enjoy Lorde and Lana Del Ray, then this 

is definitely one for you. As well as having a 

stunning voice, she has also featured on many 

magazine front pages for her dark, mystical 

beauty. This is her new song "Waiting Game".

Amber Run

This band are relatively new and unheard 

of, I found them a few months back with their 

song "Noah". Their music is filled with harmonies, 

soaring choruses and preppy beats. For the lovers

of Mumford & Sons,I guarantee you'll love them! 

This is their new single "Heaven".

Warpaint

Warpaint are an emerging band that are

lined up to play all the big festivals this

year (including Coachella!). This all girl

Indie Rock band are releasing their self-titled 

second album this year. So, here is their latest 

single "Love is to Die".

Luke Sital-Singh

He is an absolute star; Luke Sital-Singh 

has been compared to the likes of Ben Howard

and Jeff Buckley. His songs are filled with

slow melodies, beautiful lyrics and delicate 

notes. He is one to watch in the new year! 

Please take a look at all these amazing artists, 

you might find one you like? 

Have a lovely weekend!

Until the next post,
