The Thousands

People much older and wiser than myself assure me that Kings Cross goes through varying cycles of cleanliness/dirtiness every few years or so that brings different crowds with them each time. Ian Nessick (Scyrte and co-founder of Mooks) and Gareth Moody (Chronicles Of Never and co-founder of Ksubi) are obviously unfazed by the potential for the neighbourhood to change for better or worse and have set up shop, that’s right shop, in the middle of the Cross. **Which is a welcome change, especially when it’s fitted out with chandeliers, exposed beams and has appropriated newspaper to cover the walls. But the real change is in the stock, whole ranges of Scyrte, Chronicles Of Never, Eley Kishimoto and Akira are a welcome contrast to the bits and bobs we’ve become accustomed to. Maybe they’re unfazed because they’ve already decided which way the neighbourhood is headed.
