MoogFest

Big Boi, Devo, Girl Talk, El-P, MGMT, Cee Lo, Caribou, Hot Chip...

It could be a list of some of my favorite artists who really changed how I listened to music...and it is just a few of the amazing shows that will be going on during MoogFest in Asheville, NC at the end of the month. It's going to be completely chainless.

The whole schedule is crazy. 

DeSoto Strut #5

This monthly art block party took the summer off (good thing too with how its been the hottest summer in recent memory, which puts it above what have been several fairly hot summers in a row). It's back now that things are slightly less humid. Group shows in the Starland and Desotorow galleries, live work going on outside, open studios with Hebermehl and Kellie Walker, a new coffee company, cupcake happy hour with Back in the Day, and usually some crazy stuff hanging in Maldoror's. All in all, it's an early evening of eclectic art, nice people and, in this case, fire twirling.

Here's an article I wrote for Connect about the debut of Strut earlier this year.
