Nocturne Premier Wednesday, December 14th!

You never know who you know. I had met Chloe Becky when she worked at Border X, a tap house and brewery in Barrio Logan that I would frequent after Palabra when it was at La Bodega Gallery. One night she came to the Casbah when I was working the front door. At first I didn’t recognize her though she looked familiar. She also thought the same upon entrance. Later that night Shelbi Bennett, who was performing, introduced us and we had that “aha” moment. I didn’t know she was an artist and though she knew I did poetry she didn’t know about my art or band. Once I saw her work I knew I wanted to collaborate.
Her art is very good and her stop motion animation is genius. I commissioned her to make a film for Nocturne, one of the tracks on our new release Aliens. I gave her complete freedom to interpret the music and lyrics as she saw fit. Genius.
We are premiering the film at The Casbah Wednesday, December 14th. Doors at 7:30p. There will be performances by Shelbi Bennett, spacewizardinspace, Pruitt Igoe and films by Chloe Becky. There will be art and books available too. So stoked!
