June 19th Art Preview
Flewnt Sevens Leaves A DNA Sample Through Art
Venice-based artist Flewnt believes “ART outlives its
creator and functions like a DNA sample which identifies the artist and
expresses his message.”
Inspired by this outlook, Flewnt has created a collection of
more than a thousand pieces that brings graffiti-style artwork to a smaller
portable canvas. Made with recycled wood and materials, and incorporating
multiple layers of colors and different dimensions, each raw piece is
one-of-a-kind.
With his depth and style in each piece, Flewnt is giving the
world a reflection of himself to enjoy for all time.
Usually found selling his pieces beachside, we are excited
that Flewnt will be making a rare appearance to spread his message at our show
in June.
Featured LAB ARTists
We are thrilled to be showcasing live artists from LAB ART
again this show.
Felix
Raised around art and captivated with graffiti at a young
age, Felix’s inspiration comes from the feelings he has towards a certain
subject, or, most of the time, the way things beautifully look.
“I do art to heal myself and to give the public something
nice to look at on their way to work or wherever they may be headed. But in a
way, its just a funny experiment to see how the people react to foreign designs
in their public space, or should I say OUR space,” – said the artist whose work
can be seen on his website http://www.felixstreetart.com/
Meex One
Creating art for “THE LOVE ALONE,” Meex One uses his
background as a graffiti artist and graphic designer to reach beyond the realm
of the traditional to those who appreciate graffiti and the language of
graphics.
Suspend Magazine went to his studio garage to go
behind-the-scenes and get an exclusive interview with the artist: http://www.suspendmag.com/

June 19th Live Music Preview
Virtual Boy Converging Sounds Live June 19th
When two young musicians meet and collaborate at Chapman
University’s Conservatory of Music, the finished product is usually classical.
In Virtual Boy’s founders Henry Allen and Preston Walker’s case, the norm was
redefined and a signature sound was created. Who would’ve thought that the
duo’s Music Technology class compositions would eventually lead them to
releasing their first full-length record?
During their freshman year, the classical guitarist from
Albuquerque, New Mexico (Henry) and the Southern California native singer
(Preston) bonded over their shared passions for dusty vintage synthesizers, new
electronic-music genres, classic formalwear and girls that look like they could
star in a ‘60s Godard movie. With that eclectic mix of interests, it’s no
surprise that their musical influences range from Bach and Mozart to Ratatat
and Air to Nosaj Thing and The Glitch Mob.
After their live debut at Low End Theory in Los Angeles,
they were approached by Daddy Kev of Alpha Pup Records. Through Alpha Pup,
Virtual Boy released Symphony No. None in February of 2011 and most-recently,
their first full-length record, available for purchase on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/
The Los Angeles Times Music Blog writer Randall Roberts
defines their music as a “convergence of analog and digital” and wrote, “they
funnel acoustic sounds ranging from strummed guitar to Vocoder-transformed
voice to make digital songs that sound thoroughly modern while suggesting the
futuristic vibe of 1970s synthesizer music.
