Thievery Corporation News:

PLATETECTONIC SEISMIC EVENTS "Aloha Money" My father's work as a solar physicist took him around the world (Bolivia, Mexico, India, Puka Puka etc.,). I used to love when he came home because he would bring back gifts for all of us (ponchos, jewelry, carved wooden objects etc.,) and the currency of the different countries was evocative too. To this day I love to collect any beautiful bills and coins (when ever I can afford to keep them) when I travel. I keep them in a cigar box. I also give them to my nephew and to my godson - because I know it will plant the seed of intrigue for travel in their mind.   It strikes me how paper money around the world is often somewhat symmetrical and beautifully ornate, and so I set out to do a series of "new money" paper bills of my band members and fellow artists and friends as a way of saying thank you. This is an on going series. I never know why I do something, and I never really ask, I prefer to try and just follow an idea like a child at play.
