Baumvision has been fans/friends with the guys from Death Cab for a long time and may have had a couple employees pass out on their tour bus in the recent past…after splitting a few bottles of very expensive wine.

I Like Ikey!

ikey rocks
Ikey Owens has been in ours office a few times and is as much a fan of our glasses as we are of his music. If you didn’t know, he is the keyboard player for Free Moral Agents and The Mars Volta. Ikey calls Long Beach California his home and by chance, so does half the Baumvision staff. Ikey is wearing our Paul Frank Rx Freedom of Choice and Modern Amusement 14’s.

Limited Edition Tommie Sunshine Signature Frame.

Photobucket

Previously spotted in Paul Frank frames such as the New Traditionalists and Atom Eyes, it only seemed right to design Tommie Sunshine his very own pair. Tommie is, in many eyes, one of the most credible DJ’s on the planet. He refuses to follow trends and plays music that suits his heart and his current state of mind. He’s introspective, honest and without pretence. We feel the sunglasses are inspired, unique and uh…well, they sure look good with Tommie’s funny beard…

The Kaiser Chiefs

The Kaiser Chiefs bassist, Simon Rix sporting the Original Penguin Belize in this pictorial taken backstage at the Coachella Music Festival. Baumvision loves the Kaiser Chiefs not only because of their great music, but also their sense of humor. When lead singer Ricky Wilson was told that Oasis front man Liam Gallagher called the Chiefs “a bad Blur,” he was reportedly ecstatic to be the victim of one of Gallagher famous insults.
Baumvision pal Adrian Grenier graced the cover of this issue of BPM.
