SWAG MAN OF THE MONTH: TATTOO GUY INTERVIEW

legend x
We saw this revolutinary awe inspiring tattoo on facebook and thought that we just had to speak to the legend behind the ink. Turns out hes none other than Essex lad Tom Lelyand, known to many as "Lairy Leyland" across the Essex scene. You can find the lairy lad strutting his moves (house shuffle) in a variety of the clubs there along with his occasional journey into London for the best in deep house.

We caught up with him and this is what he had to say.

Tom, SWAG blog here its great to speak to you - We woud first of all like to congratulate you on your tattoo. How did you come up with it? Are you some sort of genius? Its pretty original to say the least

yeah haha some people actually say that i am a genius, i mean nobody else has this tatto or i havent seen anyone in Essex with it so i think im pretty unique in that way. not many people really listen to deep house either so i think its a underground tattoo which will always remind me of the sessions we have had listening to hungry for the power on repeat for 12 hours on and on.

am hungry for the powder

Sick guy its safe to say you are one of the lads, anyone that sniffs cat has got SWAG bro...speaking of drugs whats the most mcat you can sniff in a weekend?

me and my mates usually plough through 3 ounce when we have a phat session but we arnt pussies we are still smashing the K constantly too. how do u think i got my nickname lairy leyland. its all about trying to find that perfect mix u know what a mean to help me to get into the music and that.

just to get into the music 
Ah yeah we know exactly what you mean, its all about sniffing as much drugs as possible so that you can actually enjoy the deep house...spot on mate! Whats your plans for this summer?

What do u think my plans are lol? we are off to ibiza its the only place i will ever go (apart from hideout) and i plan on going every single year...i just cant get enough of it, the drugs, the deep house, the shufflin, the snapbacks and the blazers. i fucking live for it all. hopefully in a few years i will be djing at dc10 if my djing carreer takes off. just played a few local gigs and that so far in essex but i know ive got the best tunes around. even joey essex came to one of my gigs and said how much he liked my tunes.

tom and essex don joey 
Joey Essex? No fucking way we love that guy, you must be getting pretty big then we might have to try and get you a gig in leeds soon. Have you ever been up here?

ye course i been to leeds its a sik night out. we went to teknicolor a few weeks ago to see finebassen oh my facking god  i was so ketted up but i still got a shag in them unisex toilets from some yorkshire slut. the crowd there was really cool i thought northerners wouldnt be wearing the same sort of fashionable clothes but i seen people reppin some nice blazers a undeground t-shirts like BOY london


yeeeee boi..BOY london!!
Yeah too right we know where its at in leeds. Been a pleasure talking to you Tom we hope to see you again in leeds sometime. Great work on the tatoo and good luck in your djing career...SWAG blog loves you.

thnx swag blog, hopefully see u in leeds soon!! X

SWAG blog - MAN OF THE MONTH

HELLO 

Theres no compeition when it comes to the SWAG man of month as the only contender is the man, the myth, the legend, the gym instructor, the firefighter AND the promoter -

Ashley Head...

When it comes to promoters this fella is what we here at SWAG blog call the dogs bollox. His visionary tactics and aspiring drive have propelled him to ultimate SWAG status in Leeds. The idea of changing his facebook name to Ashley Head (Filth-Nest) was an unprecedented and daring act that paid off making him one of the coolest guys to be seen with in leeds.

the old hectik daiz
You can see from the pictures how our Ashley has climbed the long ladder of house music within the Leeds scene starting out at swag favourite HECTIK where he could be found talking about himself and all the big dogs who he knew before stepping on up to the recently deceased UBER where he really excelled himself even though he wore the same T-shirt at both events.  (R.I.P Uber - more info on SWAG blog Uber funeral soon)

stepping it up in uber
Ashley has gone from strength to strength and dared to go where no other promoter has gone, ascending from the leeds electro scene up into the elite snobish tech head scene where he can be seen in the photo chilling with "his bro" Christian Martinez who plays that repetative tech-house shite.

best m8s
We at SWAG blog may not agree with his snobby music taste now so much but we all know deep down that Ashley is still keeping it swag at heart, we know his Itunes is brimming with Tom Zanetti bangers and Swagger bombs so we will let him off.

Hes still a top lad and our good friend but hes making alot of money now as he tells us that he is now the managing director at leeds clubbing brand Nest but is keeping on the low so he doesnt piss off his good mate Timmy 2 tall from back in his Hectik days.

Here's to Ashley Head, SWAG man of the month and may he carry on leading the light for all young aspiring promoters coming onto the scene

You got SWAG bro

SWAG blog loves you

SWAG ON TOUR - BOAT PARTY

its going to go off course

HABIT ! SWAGGER ! DAWN CHORUS ! SINFUL !

ALL ON ONE BOAT???

YOU WOT!!!

You've all read the marine classic 20,000 leagues under the sea, now get ready for 20,000 leagues under on geebs.

Setting off from the docks down't road from Byker Grove in Newcastle on 9th of November, this is going to be a trip of a lifetime. With 4 of the world's biggest clubbing brands set to take you on a journey not only across the North Sea but also deep into the heart of house music courtesy of international Dj stars such as "Rowdy" Ryan James and "Nutty" Nick Hannam plus more of the finest DJ talents to come out of Yorkshshire since progressive house legend Danny Bond.

swag sailing dynamo esque
Not only good music but expect good women too, especially when landing in amsterdam where you will find many a girl in the shop windows similiar to the ones you find at swagger, habbit and dawn chorus but unfortunately these ones make sure you wear protection (just make sure you havent got cat dick yeah?)

All in all i reckon this trip will be out of this world, make sure you try and stay awake for the entire duration cos remember sleeping is cheatin afterall dont let us down now.

It really makes us proud that our boys Ryan, Nick and the like will be representing the yorkshire swag/deep house scene on international waters, guess it kind of counts as another international gig after there season long residency at Ibiza superclub DC10 at their night Circonogo.


its is what it is 
We are trying to sort it out with our boys at swagger to allow SWAG blog to come aboard and film the whole thing, be sure to message them saying you want us onboard, we will bring 2 tubs of geebs and some old school vintage 2009 cat for anyone who asks swagger to let us onboard.

Stay SWAG sailors!

SWAG blog loves you



SWAG WARNING - DANGERS OF CAT




Remember when they said we were sniffing plant feeder back in the day? It seems asif they may have been correct cos poor Tony got ont sesh for one day too long and look whats happend to him. Its not even funny, he is as ITN say "Completely fucked".  I seen this happen myself other day int old school lofts we was ont sesh and i seen a dandelion poking out of dan's ear after he smashed a 2 gram wophead, we didnt think owt about it at time but a week later he had a cabbage patch growin under his armpit and acorns sprouting out of his arse.
andy bird flying like a bird  

Even our favourite club here at SWAG blog has took a turn for the worse, this is the latest photos from Mission. Looks like the club is going to have to change its air con that circulates mcat throughtout and give the toilet attendant some john paul gotinhair aftershave to spray you with instead "eau de mcate" (imported from paris)

catty as balls 
I've already phoned up Alan Titchmarsh on behalf of swag blog to see if he can give poor cat fiend Tony from east London a trim and maybe come with ground force to fix Mission before freshers....We will keep you updated here, meanwhile get your self to mission (bring a lawnmower if possible) and smash a line before you ride on the zip line!

Watch ya selves!!!

SWAG NEWS + TUNE OF THE DAY

here at swag HQ we are all still onit from weekend. been having a reyt time like, one of us mates went under and lost his clothes, cat, geebs and his spoon! hes proper gutterd... you can even see his cat dick on pic...hate it when that happens but its orite we used our new special program to hide his identificaton.
simpsons swag


Movin on though, got a wickid tune to get u all buzzin (like us)...it proper cheered our mate up 



 

We all gettin off sesh soon so we save some dollah to get him a new spoon

Nuff luff swagsters!!! 
Keep it swag and Sesh on xxx



Fistful of SWAG

We have struck gold here at SWAG HQ...gold of the spoon variety check it out -

limited edition 5carrot spoonage - now in swag shop
We bet you cant wait to wrap your noses round these unreleased beautys, solid gold and look how shiney they are (wont be shiney when they are brimming with my boom cat :P) we have been busy makin these spoons over the past 2 weeks sorry if we havent been around much bt spoons come first as u all know, whats the point in going out if u dont have a spoon on?




Anyway lets all make the most of the sun, went up hyde park getting bezzled yesterday was gud, it felt right. We had this blastin out my mates ipod dockin station, sadly the skaters dint appreciate it at all and we were getting some reyt mucky looks from the skate park.

skater dudes 
Me being the reasomable man that i am went over and showed them my fresh vans id just bought in town and said it was orite i wore vans so i was "cool" too. I explaned that most of us swagger lot all wear vans now we so we should all get along as we are basically skaters now too. I gave em nick hannams newest mix CD to try out and my number for boomcat, hopefully they will get ont sesh with us sometimes as i really like vans and skaters i think they are cool.

vans = skater + swag friends forever

Thanks to the power of the vans i hope we can all live in a world where skater and swagster alike can unite and get along living in a harmonius sosiety where prejudices are not taken into condensideration.

Help keep the peace in Hyde Park with the skaters and wear vans. They are all okay with it im sure they arent bothered and would be happye to see us swagging it out at stinkeys to some jackin / cool deep house in their beloved vans

KEEP IT SWAG, DUDES!

SWAG - Outfit of the day 2



KET, SEX & DC10 NEED I SAY MORE!!!

What a sick tshirt - 3 of our favourite things here at SWAG blog! For those who do not know what DC10 is, its the home of jackin electro house in Ibiza. Its got red walls and fit lasses walk around in bikinis giving out free cat all night long while you dance the night away to mucky wobblers and deep bouncey chicago electro house beats. Its just round the corner from Cafe Del Mar (Where that song was made from kevin & perry) and the world famous OK Kareoke Bar. Personally i've never been to ibiza but me and the boyos plan to smash openings this year, tom's gonna put half oz of cat up his arse before we get ont plane so we can join the mile high cat club hehe naughty :P

I cant wait for all the ket, sex and kareoke, this lass has got it nailed on with this tshirt, if your wearing something with DC10 on it then you are the definition of SWAG...

MXC - wEiRd SWAG

Have you niffed ket recently and gone wEiRd as FUCK?

dont worry, so have we its perfectly normal and its called MXC. apparantly danny sez that the pakistani or indian men got caught so there is no way of them transporting the ket plant over to the docks in hull after they have harvested them.

the ket plant (Hibiscustrionum)
even though the men got caught we have still got the drought to think about. we can jus cross our fingers nd toes and hope that the drought stops, the rains come and the indians can plant sum new ket plants so we can get ketty. their farms are so dusty and dry not even a cat plant could grow in such vile, baron and destitute fields.

drought....so awful poor indians   
if you are one of them peple who cant stand by and see people suffer from the disasters that mother nature throws at us then you can make a donation to them just email SWAGblog1@gmail.com and we will give you details of how to donate to the indian farmers.

we will just abve to get weirddddd until the rains come...but please have a heart and dont be a snob (techno) - MAKE A DONATION PLEASE

anyway this tune be going out to my troubled indian ket farmers....they defo need someone tonight

Our boy T to the Z the man who singley handedly created the house scene in leeds which spread to the rest of yorkshire with the sort of deep house nights like swagger in wakey. He grew up on the meanstreets of leeds and had to get by with MC'in but as you can see now look at him, chilling with a tiger (you know your big time when you chill with tigers)

it reminds me when i once went to knowlsey safari park with the boyos and got geebd up with some llamas it was a reyt laugh until i went under lol! we fed some geeby to the llamas and they got proper horney it always gives me a boner so we fort it would be well gud to give it to the llamas.
