1.Kahlon: Dance Party from Abdu Ali at The Crown
Fill the Dance-Shaped Hole in Your Life!
We couldn’t say it better then Abdu: “KAHLON is an eternal wave on the shore for every other other. Dis is a party existing beyond the yonder, in a holographic tundra full of king queen snakes with heads like deers, liquid pyramids, and grass made of gold. KAHLON is for the fera, ones who want to death drop into the stars, and combust their entity for a night of bliss. This is a form free, free form party. Gag friendly and opened hearted. The purpose: to induce escapism without having to run…a musical moovemeant based in BMORE”
2. Genesis P-orridge (Psychic TV) Artist Talk at MICA
Cult Performer Sheds Light on a Fascinating History ov Art and Music
Any sense of artist’s talk being dry or boring should be thrown right out the window with this one. Genesis BREYER P-ORRIDGE, is an English singer-songwriter, musician, poet, sound artist, writer and founder of pioneering electronic industrial band Throbbing Gristle. After TG disbanded in 1980, Gen’s work continued with the formation of experimental band Psychic TV and occult organization Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth or T☠PY. Also, we’re told Genesis makes a mean avocado toast.
