Blooming Marvelous
June 6th, 2012
To mark the launch of the Cribs’ new album, In The Belly of the Brazen Bull, Diabolical Liberties recreated the album cover on a billboard in Shepherds Bush market. Real flower power was used, in fact no less than 3000 chrysanthemums and gerbera were all positioned in the frame, picture perfect, by hand.
The band’s Facebook page and twitter feed highlighted the event, asking fans to come along and be part of the installation. This resulted in green-fingered Cribs fans turning up on a very rainy May morning, eager to help out. As well as the odd passing indie band member too. Watch the video of the event and check out one of Stornoway happily getting stuck into a spot of flower arranging.

Has to be said the finished poster certainly had the right effect when it came to lifting hearts during a wet and grey Spring in West London.

Loving London
June 6th, 2012
Some very distinguished and well-respected characters: Betjeman, Roosevelt and Paddington Bear to name but three, were given the loving touch from another distinguished and well-respected man. To mark the launch of his album, Kisses on The Bottom, Sir Paul McCartney, has been bestowing valentine sashes on statues of the great and the good in the capital. He describes the motive of this stunt, as an affectionate gesture to London, a city he loves. Diabolical helped by coordinating and strategising this campaign, which was featured in the Evening Standard on the week of the record’s release. It also managed to bring a sense of romance to the city’s streets.

To celebrate Achtung Baby’s special anniversary, the album has been reissued. And to make sure lots of people knew all this, we took a real life, gloriously technicoloured Trabant, as seen on the album sleeve and popped it on a 96 sheet billboard on the M4.
