10/24: Jesika von Rabbit in LA @ HM157 – Gram Rabbit October Shows


MarinaChavez-GramRabbit15-9241_72In September, Jesika von Rabbit, bassist Lee Joseph and von Rabbit’s dancers The Grundles opened 12 sold out shows for Eagles of Death Metal’s “Zipper Down” tour in the mid-west, south and East Coast. The packed rooms all responded enthusiastically to von Rabbit’s set which included songs from her recently released “Journey Mitchell” album (self released CD and Digital, vinyl LP on Dionysus Records), a twisted, searing industrial electro version of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places” and a couple of von Rabbit’s country songs which were recorded by Gram Rabbit.

HM157 welcomes Ann Hadlock & City of Butterflies for a deluxe & delightful show dedicated towards enlightening folks as to the potential extinction of our beautiful native butterflies. We can easily rectify this happenstance by planting their natural habitat: the California Milkweed. Attendees are welcome to take Milkweed home to install. City of Butterflies strives to actively educate the public about the importance of native host or food plants in urban areas through hands-on workshops, outreach events, and media production. The reintroduction of native plants in public and private gardensis crucial to the survival of California’s rapidly declining butterfly populations. Most importantly, City of Butterflies are in the process of making an educational documentary about California butterflies and how to save them. Here is a link to their indieggo to raise funds for the documentary. 


Together we can change the game for our endangered Butterflies

Dadaismus is a bi-monthly experience casting unique avant-garde multimedia music, dance, film and spoken word performances, curated by HM157 artist in residence Michelle Carr founder of the legendary Jabberajaw club and creator of Velvet Hammer Burlesque

HM157 DonBollesMC and DJ: Don Bolles
Featuring musical performances by The Centimeters and L.A. Dronas, experimental music and performance by Circuitry and Poetry, performance art and soundscape by Anna Homler, spoken word by John Tottenham, modern dance by mecca vazie andrews and projections by The Mystery Machine.

 

The Centimeters
HM157centimeters1Even those of us who were around at a time when the Centimeters soaked the stages of goth rock concerts, Cacophony Society functions, and Mr. T’s Bowl with cacklingly evil vocals, Minimal Man synths, somber violins, and gloomy, drug-fueled guitar jangles probably don’t have all these songs, spread as they were over a few albums and EPs and, perhaps, across the detritus-strewn floor of singer Greg Gomberg’s Koreatown bedroom for years and years and years. It’s odd to think that a band that never smiled on stage, except in contempt for all that was pure and holy, could bring so much joy to its fans. But there are people who are peeing themselves to see a return, even in the form of a greatest hits and a few new live shows, of the dynamic duo of Gomberg and Nora Keyes and the lost boys (and girls) who brought their songs to life right on the cusp of the George W. years.

Anna Homler  is a vocal, visual and performance. With a sensibility that is both ancient and post-modern, Homler’s work explores alternative means of communication and the poetics of everyday objects. She creates ”perceptual  interventions”  by using language as music and sound as language.

Highlighting Holmer’s work is the performance/installation project “Pharmacia Poetica” which examines the symbolic and tonal qualities of words and objects. The installation has traveled nationwide as part of the exhibition, “40 Years of California Assemblage”, and worldwide as part of the traveling exhibition “Outside the Frame: Performance and the Object, a survey of performance art in the United States from 1950 to the present.” www.annahomler.com
