Kovak UK

"Brighton-based electro-pop band KOVAK have just been invited to play at Toronto’s North By North East music festival in Canada this June and are currently recording their 2nd album with dance producer Andy Gray (Hard Fi, Paul Oakenfold, Gary Numan, Enter Shikari) at Arreton Manor, a haunted 15th Century house on the Isle Of Wight using a museums worth of analogue vintage synths.

The band are already organising their next video with legendary producer Tim Pope (The Cure, David Bowie, Neil Young, Soft Cell) having had over 30,000 hits on their last video for pop-tastic single ‘I’ll Be Good To You’ from debut album Heroes & High Heels. The very danceable album track ‘Sex Electric’ is featured in Michael Madson's new film ‘The Big I Am’ and the bands music has also been used on HBO’s ‘Make It Or Break It’.

Kovak have been running their very own successful electro dance night in Brighton; ‘Club Kovak’ over the years and have had such DJ guests as ‘The Orb’ and The Go! Team. Club Kovak will be back with more electro glow sticks and disco dancing this summer.

A truly energetic and colourful live band, Kovak are more than ready to dance, sing, jump about and run on the spot in a venue near you!"

3 things that one should always have in their kit when it comes to doing men’s make up.

1. 1.     Prep + Prime Vibrancy Eye by MAC Cosmetics. It reduces the look of puffy eyes and under eye shadows while brightening up the entire eye area. It also primes the eye for any type of eye makeup that you may use.
2.   Prep+ Prime Skin Refined Zone by MAC Cosmetics. This is for controlling shine. It is ideal for the t-zone and getting rid of any shine that a fellow might have.
3.   Duo Concealer by NARS The vitamin C helps to boost radiance and brightness- it is also fragrance free, this is a big plus when working with men. 

3 things to make a shoot easier.

1. Always plan for everything to take more time than you think it is going to take. Something will come up if you don't.  It always looks better to be done earlier than expected, not that this happens too often. 
2. Work together. Listen to each other and listen to everyones ideas. The person cleaning up might have a great idea or see something that you don't. Every person on the planet deserves respect. It is all about the energy that you put out there. 
3. When working with a band.... bring a snack. Everyone is happier when they have something in their tummy. We had ginger cookies and timmbits. Then even made time for a nacho break. Food is also a great way to get people to sit down and talk to each other.
