DARKER MY LOVE w/ Special Guests CRYSTAL ANTLERS.
The pounding rhythms get down into your bones, making it impossible to sit still. And those melodies…they stick with you for days. “Baby, you’ve got me talking words…” There’s a new sheen at play here, courtesy of studio guru, Dave Cooley (Silversun Pickups, J Dilla), allowing the sunburnt harmonies to part through the sonic squall like an indie rock Moses. NOTE: Since this is an all-ages show, GET THERE HELLA EARLY. Otherwise, there’s no way you’ll be able to get in since these all ages events get lousy with the mass teen exodus of Greater LA County.

Measuring Your Own Grave. Marlene Dumas at LA MOCA.
One of the most influential and controversial painters working today, Marlene Dumas brings a dark intensity to her work. Favoring subjects with profound sociopolitical subtexts, the South African-born, Holland-based artist addresses explosive issues of gender, race, religion, and explicit sexuality through the prism of her striking, graphic, heavily worked portraiture.
