Music, movies, & dandelions vs. concrete
«
When’s the last time you were surprised by some truly exceptional and unusual music? The kind that builds little pup tent inside your soul and feeds you s’mores? The kind that reminds you of dandelions in sunny defiance of concrete? The kind that makes you want to sound your barbaric yawp and do pirouettes beneath a grapefruit moon?
Well, here’s your chance.
This WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 8-9:15PM
Three Songbird Cabaret
Featuring Amy Raasch, Aimee Bobruk & Ainjel Emme
Genghis Cohen
740 N. Fairfax (just North of Melrose), 90046
Aimee & Ainjel hail from Austin, Texas – that mysterious, spiritual homeland of sublime vintage boots and music that tastes of earth, sunflowers, juke joints, bats, ghosts and sweet lemonade. They are inspired. They are badass. And they, along with yours truly, conspire to rock you this Wednesday and buy you musical beers. You should come.
Now I know that you’re busy, so here are some other options to tease, cajole and otherwise edify your shimmering summer soul.
For instance, Tuesday night, July 28, there’s big screen fun to be had at the Laemmle Sunset 5. A film I acted in, “I’m Not Matt Damon,” shows at 7:45pm, as part of L.A. Shortfest. I play a manipulative Hollywood producer (typecast again). I handle a bag of meat.
Not so much with the raw flesh? Feast your senses and sensibilities upon select wines, hors d’oeuvres, organic foods, Greek delicacies and transcendent music at the Chronicle Wine Tasting at the new Brio Spa on Thursday, July 30. Sets by me and “California sound” veteran Steve Postell. 2003 Lake Ave, Altadena, 8-10pm.
Or your can throw on your sunglasses and get all Hollywood at the premiere of “Bitter/Sweet,” a film for which I provided the song that plays during the closing credits. Sat, Aug 8, 6pm, Egyptian Theatre. Continue to wear sunglasses throughout evening for full effect.
