Subculture is Fred Perry's new music initiative, committed to bringing you bright young talent, alongside the classic British artists that have had a long standing relationship with the brand. Subculture was launched by the legendary Paul Weller at the 100 Club - the oldest independent music venue in Britain - in September 05.
Why is Fred Perry involved with music? Because it is the original sportswear to streetwear brand - adopted firstly by Mods in 1959 because “They could wear it all night and still look good in the morning” - Then reappropriated, by almost every British youth subculture since. From Mods, Suedeheads, Ska/Two Tone, Punk, New Wave, Casuals/Perry Boys, Britpop, Electronic/Rave and the latest Indie/New Rave revivals - the laurel has been ever present. Passed from generation to generation as an understated timeless classic.

Not too late to get advance tickets for my shows coming up - including two tickets for £5 for my Birmingham gig (3 Nov). And remember I'm playing with Ebb at the ICA in London (9 Nov) - this is a very special performance and it would be great to see you there. /MaJiKer
