Cultural Stimuli in LA
Issue 221: crafty flavor

Flying in the face of slick, paint-by-numbers culture, LA rekindles its infatuation with unique, hand-crafted art, film, and music this week, reminding us that it's still fun (and easy) to do it yourself. No fewer than three compendiums of anti-digital moviemaking take aim at IMAX as the Hammer presents a new installment of Thrift Store Movies; the Echo Park Film Center hosts PXL This 16, a festival of short, sweet flicks produced entirely on toy cameras; and M-Bar welcomes the accidental, out-of-context hilarity of the Found Footage Festival. Comedy, meanwhile, joins the fray with a special book event for Eric Hoffman's new how-to book Comedy by the Numbers, offering budding Andy Kaufmans access to the secrets of good humor. Not to be outdone, the art world counters with a crafty hands-on evening at Farmlab and untitled LOVE project's community-based, open-door art show, an event which gathers hand-hewn tales of romantic woe with an eye toward emotional rehabilitation. Remember, if you can dream it, you can make it, so grab the Elmer's — and spread it.

- Shana Nys Dambrot, Managing Editor

MUSIC: Indie Folk
Goldenboy w/ Chris McFarland

when: Tue 5.22 (9pm)
where: On the Rox (9009 Sunset Blvd, W Hollywood, 310.278.9457) map
price: $5
links: Event Info | Goldenboy | Chris McFarland

Hailing from decidedly unexotic Diamond Bar, California, Shon Sullivan's band was inspired by indie-rock royalty: while touring as Elliott Smith's guitarist, Sullivan received the nickname "Goldenboy" from the now-departed folkie. In a further act of artistic friendship, Smith snuck a backing-vocal track onto the band's 2002 debut, Blue Swan Orchestra, without asking. Goldenboy's newest recording, the lush and melodic Underneath the Radio, is also riddled with well-wishers, including Neil Finn, Lisa Germano, Sebastian Steinberg, and former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp. Touting a delicate sound, the band pays homage to troubadours past with tunes that summon the specter of old-school Morrissey, the Beatles, Pete Yorn, and Smith himself. (JH)

  Who won the Oscar for Best Original Song the year Elliot Smith was nominated for "Miss Misery?" Five randomly drawn correct responses each receive a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close at 6pm on Tue 5.22.

Rademacher's Pavement-meets-the Walkmen syncopations are a perfect match for Kind Hearts & Coronets' Beatles-and-Byrds-inflected brass. Tonight both bands join fellow bittersweet, melodic locals the Switch for Let's Independent!, Radio Free Silver Lake's monthly new-music showcase. (LMK)

While pretty much everyone agrees that strong writing is important, 826LA is actually taking action, helping students gain the building blocks for a successful and fulfilling future. A nonprofit writing and tutoring center, the organization is dedicated to supporting students aged 6 to 18 and improving their composition skills. An outreach benefit and fundraiser, tonight's edition of Book*Smart Nightclub — a monthly event featuring one musician, one comic, and one writer — includes the sweet melodies of indie poppers the Watson Twins alongside the comedy stylings of Patton Oswalt and an appearance by Found magazine founder Davy Rothbart.

SPECTACLE
Star Wars Celebration IV

when: Thur 5.24 - Mon 5.28 (schedule)
where: Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Downtown, 213.741.1151) map
price: $125 four-day pass / $45 per day
links: Event Info

A wookieriffic convention if ever there was one, Star Wars Celebration IV lands in LA this week, brandishing magnetic-seal-breaking blasters and a vibro-ax to boot. (Ed note: We know that piercing a magnetic seal with a blaster is physically impossible — it's just a metaphor, people.) Held in honor of the iconic film series' 30th anniversary, the four-day fest features a costume contest, con-exclusive action figures, and Q&A panels with actor Billy Dee Williams (aka Lando the man-do), The Clone Wars producer Catherine Winder, and Supervising Director Dave Filoni. Lucasfilm is plotting related events throughout the city in conjunction with the convention, so keep your eyes peeled for Twi'lek — their rainbow skin is waiting to be revered. (AP/LMK)

links: Event Info

This week, co-curators Elizabeth Paige Smith and Flavorpill's own Shana Nys Dambrot present Family Garden, a multimedia exhibition and outdoor installation that celebrates the beauty, humor, and menace at the intersection of art, industry, and nature. Partially benefiting the Venice Family Clinic and inspired by the group's mission to serve the impoverished families that share its famous bohemian enclave, the show makes room for all manner of hybrid communities. Artists include the Clayton Brothers, Marnie Weber, Mark Bradford, Cheryl Dunn, Grace Zabriskie, Meg Cranston, and tonight's opening promises a special outdoor set by recent Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? star and DJ extraordinaire Steve Nalepa.

where: Walt Disney Concert Hall (111 S Grand Ave, 323.850.2000) map
price: $30-38
links: Event Info | DeVotchKa

Inspired by criminals and gulags, Russian Chanson is said by many to be the former Soviet superpower's answer to gangsta rap — a revolutionary musical form boasting fiery lyrics and powerful indictments of Stalinism, political unrest, and the pains of living in the Cold War era country. Aping elements of hip-hop, country, and traditional Russian song, the not-so-underground musical movement has exploded in every corner of its home country. Tonight, quirky Denver-based folk band DeVotchKa and special guests Saul Williams and Petra Haden offer their interpretations of the genre. (PXC)

Tonight's edition of the PXL This Film Fest shows how Fisher-Price's toy-store flop, the PXL 2000 toy video camera, has engendered 16 years of groundbreaking cinema while also contributing to the democratization of filmmaking — at 15 frames per second, no less. (MP)

ARTS & CRAFTS

when: Fri 5.25 (12pm)
where: Farmlab (1745 N Spring St, #4, 323.226.1158) map
price:
links: Event Info | Fallen Fruit

The best way to make sure that everybody keeps working nine-to-fives is to take away their access to free grub and convince them that food comes from the store, not the yard. It's this misconception that Fallen Fruit turns on its head, offering DIY strategies for gratis snacking on the go with everything from old-timey jam-making parties to collaborative maps of neighborhood fruit trees. Tonight, the group outlines these projects, unveils similarly themed artistry, and offers nighttime fruit-foraging at Farmlab — an urban-farmer think tank affiliated with the hayseed land artists from Not A Cornfield. (DRC)



PERFORMANCE
Marnie Weber

when: Fri 5.25 (8pm)
where: UCLA Hammer Museum (10899 Wilshire Blvd, 310.443.7000) map
price:
links: Event Info | Marnie Weber | Patrick Painter

Photographer, installation artist, musician, and performer Marnie Weber's wicked sense of humor plays heavily in her elaborate, hand-crafted photocollages, multimedia sculptural environments, and character-based performances. An exhibition of new work at Patrick Painter Gallery closes tomorrow, and its homage to the quirky foibles and ironies of the mythology of the American West is not to be missed. Neither is today's one-off performance by Weber's spooky, costumed ensemble, the Spirit Girls who offer a live score to screenings of her films. Working with conceptual noise (without neglecting the groove), the group combines undead chic with avant-garde pop in a perfect counterpoint to the gallery exhibition across town. (SND)



ALSO ON FRI

MUSIC: Glam-Pop
Bobby Conn
Fri 5.25 (9pm) The Smell (247 S Main St, 213.625.4325) map $5

Event Info
 
Bobby Conn's bizarro whirlwind of proggy R&B glam-pop is even more inscrutable than the work of fellow genre-skipping travelers like Fiery Furnaces — and not just because sometimes he sings in Latin. (DRC)



DJ
Andrea Parker
Fri 5.25 (9pm-2am) MJ Higgins (244 S Main St, 213.617.1700) map $10

Event Info
 
The UK's Andrea Parker has been dropping her brand of dark, bass-heavy electro for more than a minute now. Tonight, the internationally acclaimed DJ is joined by Portland's BOT23 and Trichome for a bumping soiree with sound reinforcement by the seriously sick Whump sound system. (SN)

when: Sat 5.26 - Mon 5.28 (11am-6pm)
where: Topanga Community House (1440 N Topanga Canyon Blvd, Topanga) map
price: $15
links: Event Info

Baked Baby Boomers jiving to Joni, hitchhiking hippies, and some of LA's best live music — 'tis the spirit of Topanga Days, a local three-day fest that celebrates the diverse spirit of Topanga Canyon. Located six miles north of PCH, Topanga Days taps its toes all Memorial Day weekend, traveling unabashedly back to the days of bohemian culture at the Mermaid Café. Dust off those tie-dyed shirts and come celebrate an environmentally focused community Chevy Metal, X's John Doe, Spindrift, Dead Rock West, and Young Dubliners. (JH)



ART: Openings
Culver City Art Openings

when: Sat 5.26 (6-10pm)
where: Various Culver City Galleries map
price:
links: Taylor de Cordoba | Sandroni Rey | Bandini | Denizen

Kicking off an evening of Culver City-area art openings, Taylor de Cordoba presents New York's Timothy Hull — an artist whose fascination with 19th-century mysticism has driven him to combine portraits and blocky diagrams with audio elements. Meanwhile, Yanai Toister's crisp, surreal photographs at Sandroni Rey explore the hypocrisy of photography's claim of impartiality. Susan Holcomb's paintings at Bandini Art mine the limitless symbolic and narrative terrain of nightfall in the lonely deserts of the American West. Leveling a triple threat, Denizen Design Gallery fêtes Japanese lighting designer Isamu Tokizono in his first US exhibition, Daniel Ogassian's interactive architectural ceramics, and the sensual, hand-crafted blown-glass of Joe Cariati. (SND)

Note: Opening times vary, so be sure to check the individual gallery sites for exact times and information.



MULTIMEDIA
Pravda feat. Amon Tobin, Cut Chemist, and Peanut Butter Wolf

when: Sat 5.26 (10pm)
where: Walt Disney Concert Hall (111 S Grand Ave, 323.850.2000) map
price: $30-50
links: Event Info | Amon Tobin | Cut Chemist | Peanut Butter Wolf

You could see Pravda as a way to link contemporary electronic music and the sociopolitical and artistic environment of the Stalin-era Soviet Union. Or, you could look at it as a massive party with a world-class lineup of DJs, VJs, and visual artists. Boasting a ten-piece Theremin Orchestra, tonight's program asks DJs Amon Tobin, Cut Chemist, DJ Spooky, Peanut Butter Wolf, and countless others to mix and mash the work of Soviet-era composers like Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Following on the heels of last year's immensely successful Minimalist Jukebox symposium, the performance offers the ultimate in all-night multimedia immersion. (ASM)

Event Info
 
When you're being paid to produce gift portraits for the cast of Oceans Twelve, it's safe to say you've hit your stride. Hot off that special commission, painter Dean Styers tweaks his Barbra Kruger-meets-Lichtenstein angle tonight, moving away from the rainbow in a new, grayscale-only collection. (AT)

Note: This exhibition remains on display through Sat 6.23 (Tue-Sat: 11am-5pm).

Sat 5.26 (8pm) Barnsdall Gallery Theater (4800 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 866.881.8399) map $7

Event Info
 
Much like solo-performance mavericks Danny Hoch, Spalding Gray, and Laurie Anderson, Heather Woodbury has mastered the art of vivid characterization — creating a series of odd yet endearingly human subjects. Her newest show, set in the year 2014, follows a 108-year-old stripper through encounters with a young feminist academic. (ASM)



MUSIC: 8-Bit Bombshell
Check Yo' Ponytail feat. Crystal Castles
Sat 5.26 (9pm) Echoplex (1822 Sunset Blvd, Echo Park, 213.413.8200) map $15

Event Info
 
Named after the protagonist's home in '80s He-Man sister-show She-Ra: Princess of Power, Crystal Castles play glitchy, electro hyper-rock á la London-based bands like Klaxons. They hit Check Yo' Ponytail tonight alongside neon-crunk duo Purple Crush. (AS)

where: The Hotel Cafe (1623 1/2 N Cahuenga Blvd, 323.937.0136) map
price: $5
links: Event Info

Cementing the series as a staple of LA's independent writing scene, this month's Tongue & Groove boasts a lineup as sexy and sophisticated as its name suggests. Acclaimed writer, performer, and occasional revolutionary Lan Tran (Elevator/Sex) is joined by intrepid spinner of harrowing anti-heroine tales Janet Fitch (White Oleander) and memoirist of the utterly fictitious, Chiwan Choi (Dogs of Los Angeles). Come for the dexterous, evocative spoken words, but stay for a fiery acoustic performance by Academy Award-nominated post-folk siren singer/songwriter/actress Bird York. (SND)

  York plays a role in which Tom Waits-led film? Two randomly drawn correct responses each receive a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close at 6pm on Tue 5.22.

where: The Viper Room (8852 Sunset Blvd, W Hollywood, 310.358.1881) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | The Viper Room | The Ringers | Nico Vega | The Gray Kid | Keith Morris

On their MySpace page, Hollywood-based trio Nico Vega insist they're a cult, not a band. Whatever their bag, the group works up a mean mix of alternative rock and soul with passionate vocals that fall somewhere between Courtney Love and Chrissy Amphlett. Tonight, the modern-day warriors storm the Viper Room with trademark anthems of sex, drugs, and driving naked through town with the top down. Joining them for the wild ride, co-headliners the Ringers hit with alt-rock garage madness. Fey electro pop-hopper the Gray Kid adds a bit of dance edge alongside a special DJ set by Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris. (JH)

where: Chung King Project (936 Chung King Rd, 213.625.1802) map
price:
links: Event Info | Chris Grimes Gallery

Sometimes a brilliant curator has an idea that is just too big for one gallery: inspired by Sunless, an obscure avant-garde faux documentary from French director Chris Marker, Carole Ann Klonarides' latest offering, Without Sun, riffs on the film's genre-bending and poetic examination of global urban ennui and widespread sociopolitical upheaval. Though the painters and artists assembled (among LA's brightest voices) do not necessarily address the topics head-on, their nontraditional, mixed-media works and raw post-industrial folk sensibilities achieve the same evocative, visceral exuberance — straddling two galleries as well as multiple art-historical territories. (SND)

Note: A sister exhibition of the same name runs at the Christopher Grimes Gallery through Sat 5.26 (Tue-Sat: 10am-5:30pm).

  DIG THE DUB: Dublab Spring Sprout Proton Drive  

Whether scorching the online airwaves or dispatching its in-house DJs to ramp up an offline party, DJ/radio/art collective Dublab does more than almost any other LA-based org to promote the confluence of local culture. Its hard-working music buffs pop up everywhere — pumping up art openings with blazing beats, rocking beer-soaked party jams for charity, pushing the intersections of video and music with art-house experiments, and infusing energy into even the most reticent dance dens. In this week's Dublab Spring Sprout Proton Drive, the group asks that you give a little back to the common cause by offering a donation to support its programming. Not ones to get without giving, the site transmits a series of special sessions in honor of the drive. (AP)



 


  CD REVIEW: Betty Davis, They Say I'm Different  

Light in the Attic
Released May 2007
$13.99 (Amazon)

Betty Davis' "Game Is My Middle Name" and "He Was a Big Freak" might not sound shocking today, a quarter-century after Madonna and a decade post-Lil' Kim. But when they first appeared, on 1973's Betty Davis and 1974's They Say I'm Different, respectively, there was no precedent for Davis' flamboyant female aggression. Unfortunately, the pre-disco world wasn't ready for an Afro-wearing black chick recounting sexual exploits with a cocksure sneer (more reminiscent of Iggy & the Stooges than, say, Aretha Franklin). Davis would soon leave music behind, but the raw, funk-rock hybrid she cooked up still feels like uncharted territory. Fortunately, Seattle label Light in the Attic's reissue does the former Mrs. Miles Davis right with unreleased tracks, handsome packaging, and detailed liner notes that have both the original vinyl owners and the uninitiated in mind. (JS)


 


  STREAMS: XLR8R TV  

One of our all-time favorite music mags, XLR8R has recently embraced the wonderful world of web-video content by launching its very own online TV channel, with weekly episodes that take viewers behind the scenes with the artists and sounds covered in the print edition.

Watch 'em online, or subscribe to the video podcast. Either way, don't forget to look around while you're there: this week, the site also promises a feature on Tigersushi's Joakim, created during his recent tour of the States. (CJN)
