cool weather = cool projects

things have been more than a bit hectic lately with two shows to arrange for the month of october. stevo has it down though and already the lineup for the 13th is creating a bit of a frenzy. the nature of the space has always been a major factor with so much floor space (6300 sq.ft give or take) and wall space to match, the bands really run the show with lots of room to put on a multi-fauceted performance. the 13th will be a true testament to this in that all three bands at this point are either bringing their own video projections or utilizing the talents of our in-house video artist (stevo) who has been putting together quite a few visuals for bands as of late. the man has a wealth of imagery and editing skills that seem to magically sync-up with whatever performance they are projected behind. pretty freaky actually.

on the subject of video, the big project at the moment is the special edition dvd that we are putting together containing what will hopefully come together as a mini documentary of our efforts thus far in creating music, art and community.

the second (and extra special) project is our halloween show which will be a "come one, come all" arts exhibition and crafts fair in addition to an amazing lineup of performances including a dance performance by e t e r e u m and bands:

*Shiloe
*Joy Shannon & the Beauty Marks
*Mystery Hangup

the caliber of the bands we are lucky enough to work with is driving us to find new ways to get information out to southern california about the truly independent music scene that seems to co-exhist with all the hype and glitz that seems to have almost completely hypnotized this area of the world. we are like little moths that live so close to the flame that we know almost nothing else. so, that being said, i am working on a series of interviews which are primarily meant for dvd content but will also be posted here along with pictures, links, and generally as much information that is worthy to take up space in your brains...

keep checking back as we pull things together for our two october shows. artist interested in participating in the halloween show, please submit your questions through the ec website by clicking the image below. the entry form is available there for download.

much love...
