From Sam....
Gawd!! I hope the walls don’t cave in on us THIS SUNDAY, Strangers!!
Sunday, May 13 will be the loudest Stay Strange yet!! Frank Melendez and Riververb! Also on the bill is the equally loud Actuary from Los Angeles. Plus a rare performance by artist Gerritt Wittmer.
SUNDAY, MAY 13-
RIVERVERB/ACTUARY/GERRITT WITTMER
THE KAVA GALLERY - 2804 KETTNER BLVD - 7PM - $5.00 - ALL AGES SHOW!
Riververb is always in a constant change, and I hear that the latest incarnation is the best so far! Judge for yourself! it’s some heavy stuff! Face morphing grinder sludge. Last time Riververb played, no slayed, the smoke turned black from monolithic chunks of acid-noise.
Actuary shake the shit loose! Los Angeles breeds some sick stuff and this by no means drops the ball. Not only are this tunes in your face, it’s in your skull too! Mean ass nitro venom. Gory!!
Gerritt Wittmer is an artist in the darkest sense possible. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing at this month’s Stay Strange, but if it’s anything like his performance at LUFF, it’s going to be scary!!!

Blek le Rat's North American Debut Art Opening N. Fitzpatrick 4.9.8
Blek le Rat (his name, an homage to a Sixties child's cartoon strip) the famed Parisian forefather of stencil/graffiti art since the Eighties had his first solo American show on April 5th. The long lines outside Echo Park's newest gallery, Subliminal Projects next to Dodger Stadium attested to the buzz surrounding his debut. No doubt he inspired the likes of both Banksy and Shepard Fairey. My gallery pal,had little patience for the long lines, much less stencil art in general but I have to admit I loved the material. A local furniture store further west on Sunset, in Silverlake let him do an angel mural and they placed plexiglas over it to preserve it earlier that day. So I welcome his artistic addition to my neighborhood. Besides he was quite approachable for a photo or autograph for those in attendance. When asked about his the huge turnout he was quite pleased. "My best opening ever," he repled. A great guy as well. more
