Downtown Art Party!!!

Here's some pics from the Downtown Art Show we played last Friday with Soul Or System. It was so much fun and energy and we surely had a blast during our set. As usual, Mr. Anger wasn't able to make it to the show. There's more pics but this is all we could upload for now.

Labor Day Weekend Shows Fo Sho!

Its a holiday weekend and we are kicking it off tonight with magickal creative energies at the Warehouse Art Show. We will be playing around 10PM. Its gonna be one crazy night. Make sure you get to check out the art, the place, the people, the sounds the visuals. Also this long weekend are these shows in Silver Factory Studios (downtown LA) and Puka Bar in the LBC yo!




AND GUESS WHO WAS BORN TODAY ON 1914 IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA???? TRY AT LEAST?

Herman Poole Blount

you are probably scratching yr head and wondering "who the hell is that?"
Well, Herman is more known to the rest of the world as SUN RA, jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, poet and philosopher known for his "cosmic philosophy," musical compositions and performances. tonite, we will unravel through sound why SPACE IS STILL THE PLACE!!!

Tomorrow at Downtown LA

Don't forget tomorrow night will be a dope-ass art show/warehouse party at Downtown LA. Champ will also be showing some of his art and we will be performing to the visuals of Kenneth Anger. Also playing at that event will be Soul Or System, whom we haven't seen but heard a lot about. They do live visual mixing which is pretty dope. Heres a a little map showing where it is since the warehouse is kinda tricky to find...Its 5 bucks donation which I think is pretty much worth the experience and the trip...We will have zines and posters and other stuff available too -for sale or for trade or for free if you can talk us into it.





And, if you want options, LUNA IS HONEY is having their record release show at Bow and Sparrow Gallery w/ Michael Nhat and Cardio-Pulmonary and E+E. Their new record, "Raptor Red" is so badass. And Champ has been wanting to do a remix of "Still Killing Kreeps" We'll see...Ayayay!

The Scene w/ The Littlest Viking, Frontiers, and The Wilderness

Its funny when the only way some people can relate with what you do is by identifying it with something else that they feel is comparable to what you do. I overheard someone say "You guys sound like "so and so". Have you heard of them?" And they act surprised that you haven't. Thats a the most common line that hipsters say when they wanna be identified as such -its an indirect way of saying I-Am-A-Hipster-In-Case-You-Did_Not-Notice!. Usually such lines are followed with "You mean you haven;t heard of them?" Should I? Well, what gives? Anyways, we're not against hipsters or anyone in particular -that was just an observation. Clearly, it was a fun show on Monday despite of the show starting late and us driving my car that only runs 30mph. We played aroun 10:30ish and right away we entered ghost territory and sonically invoked the spirit of Krishnamurti. The show started late but we had fun and felt great about doing what we did. I used my mini-KP for th first time and that baby is a killer. Frontiers and The Wilderness played really interesting sets but The Littlest Viking totally creamed everyone on the face. But in a good way. Thanx for Chris and Ruben for showing everyone at The Scene that night how its done yo!

Tonite at The Scene and Downtown Warehouse Art Party on Friday

Tonite, we will be playing at The Scene in Glendale. This is our first time to play in a bar which we usually avoid but it should be fun because they have a good sound system that we can play with. So if you don't have any plans tonite, come by and rev yourselves up for the badass sets of Frontiers, The Wilderness and of course the baddest ass of all the acts tonite, The Littlest Viking. Then maybe you can gather up all the courage to ask that lovely looking lady across the bar to go home with you. Chances are you are most likely to go home wby yourself but after hearing all the music tonite, thats probably more than enough..or not!


Anyways, we are also playing this amazing downtown warehouse art party on Friday, May 22. Its the same date as Luna Is Honey's record release at Bow and Sparrow. If you haven't seen or heard them, we definitely suggest you check em out because their new record, "Raptor Red" is so fucking awesome and they have a really great set planned out (they are playing the whole album in its entirety) We just hope we have enough time to go see them and go play our show that same night. Either way, the warehouse party will last until really really really late into the dawn, so if you feel like coming down afterwards..it should be dope. We will be playing to the projected visuals of Kenneth Anger's "Inauguration To The Pleasure Dome" which features Anais Nin. This is the second time we will be playing to visuals and its going to be so exciting. We are lucky enough to perform in this event, thanks to Vinz for hooking us up. His band, Soul or System will also be playing that night. Finding the location is kind of a challenge so just make sure to follow the directions and don't park on Santa Clara.
Anyways, the show is 5 bucks donation but its totally worth it. Turtle will also be serving the beer he has been fermenting all these weeks and its gonna be killer. Anyways, thats it for now.

Film Projection Soundscapes at 2BAD on Temple at Midnight

West Coast Tour Updates, DIY Distro, and All Ages Support

We have currently updated our tour dates to fit our crazy schedule. Any help that you can give us whether its contacts, shows at venues you are involved with, house shows, instore performances, art gallery openings, college radio shows, suggestions, a place to crash and take a shower will be much appreciated. We prefer to pay at all-ages spaces and venues but we are pretty much flexible with whatever is available in your city or town. Hell, we'll even play in a barn as long as we have a power source for our instruments.

We are also planning on taking or Mobile Zine Distro on the road. We just recently got a big hefty amount of zines donated to our library by Jen from Eagle Rock. We are so grateful for her decision to let us have her extensive collection of wonderful zines. We are also gonn have zines that we've made for sale or for trade and we are soon gonna start to carry zines and comix and books by independent publishers. We are still figuring out the website stuff. Anyways, if you have any zines or books and are interested to have us distribute it or just have it archived in our zine library please contact us.

Anyways, here are the new dates for the West Coast Tour. We are planning on going with Yes Deer! and Hellomynameischad however we are not sure if we will be able to play all the shows together. We are trying our best to get this together. I hate being repetitive but again, if there is anything yu can do to help please do so. Email us at magickmagickmagick@gmail.com.
