SMIRNOFF BE THERE in Austin

Saturday night SMIRNOFF held a party that showcased local artists and musicians as well as hip hop label- Stones Throw Founder, Peanut Butter Wolf DJ'ing a great set with what I think was some video serrato projections onto multiple screens it was puuurty cool.
Anywho--heres some pics

Folk and people from the art group MONSTERLOVE simultaneously dancing and painting on a huge canvas while local funk band FOOT PATROL jammed the night away. This is even funnier because Foot Patrols funky lyrics all surround foot fetishes and feet..anyway..yeah only in Austin.

The homie DJ JAZZ ONE was in full effect and we are looking forward to an upcoming project with him and THE FIFTH GALLERY along with some of ATX's most talented MC's in the game...more on that later.

Steel sculpture artist John Weber had many of his pieces on display at the show..which is especially awesome because we at THE FIFTH GALLERY were the first to show many of the great pieces on hand....get ya brag on...damn right.

Dancing, painting, jamming.

A long Friday night in the ATX

...started actually way before these pictures were taken..after paying tribute to the late great Pimp C with some friends at Slick Willies, we made our way down to THE FIFTH GALLERY

where we met up with more friends and proceeded to spin a Pimp C tribute music set...twas a 3 DJ mindcrusher that I wish was recorded...anyways, we closed up shop and headed quickly to catch our friends the HOUR BAND who were playing down the street at Lucky Lounge..but instead ran into an art opening at the always awesome Mexic Arte Museum where fellow Fifth Gallery Artist, Lucas Negrete had a piece on display.

I cant recall what the name of the xhibit was but most art were on 12x12 panels and $100 ..i wanna say it benefited something or another but i digress. There were also Nativity scenes on display which were real cool and made it feel all christmassy..heres some pics.

Nativity Scenes and characters made of corn husks...pretty cool ..and made me hungry for tamales.

Awesome artwork..didnt catch the names..we were kind of in a hurry

This piece was silkscreened

Keila and John soldiering through the night with us

We finally made it to Hour Band's show a little after their set, but we did catch the second set where our good friend Aaron sat in on drums and Phranchyze rapped.

Hour Band's Karthik and Phranchyze


...after that we made our way to the east side to catch Dubb SIcks; CD release party...but by then we should not have been allowed to hold an expensive camera...and didnt.... anyways it looked like the show was hot, lots of good people holding down the local scene on a cold night.

EastSiding on a rainy Friday Night

Rainy Friday nights in Austin usually mean cancelled jam sessions at THE FIFTH GALLERY, and this past one was no exception. We took advantage of a night off to hit the eastside for a few great art and music events--First off we hit up Industry Printing on e.6th and Pedernales for the "Print+ Addiction" show that featured one night only print designs from Austin graffiti writers Mez One and SLOKE.  Big ups to the whole crew at Industry for a great event.

After a few hours chilling with the homies, we rolled down the street a little bit to the INDEPENDENT where "The Cut Up" was being held- This was pretty much an open scratch session for some of Texas' best turntablists..and they had a Nintendo Wii set up on a huge projection...I rocked on the tennis. heres some flicks.
