Here's something you might be interested in.
Since February, promoter and noise musician Sam Lopez (aka Zsa Zsa Gabor) has been curating the monthly all-ages Stay Strange series at the Kava Lounge as a forum for San Diego’s tradition of experimental sound.
Tomorrow night’s showcase features local noise staple Riververb (Frank Melendez), LA’s Actuary, and Gerritt Wittmer.
Writes Lopez:
“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!”
Lopez has been curating shows at the Kava Gallery ever since his previous music collective, Trummerflora, went on hiatus.
“The Kava Gallery and Trummerflora had a great working relationship and I didn't want the shows to stop, so I basically have been booking shows there ever since,” says Lopez. “Stay Strange will reside at the Kava Gallery for the remainder of the year.”
Lopez, who curates the annual San Diego Experimental Guitar Show, bills Stay Strange as "A Night of Outsider Art & Music," but says that the name really applies to the audience.
“I'm suggesting that the audience stay strange, or keep their minds open.”
