[socal specific!]

hola.

shamballa (friday 7/23) was the shit!  good chill music (ranging from
ambient to jazz to guitar drone) and great food :) and nice visuals in a
very intimate location.

big props to all folks involved in this, especially daniel
bremmer and dave mosso (aka chowderhead).  i hope they choose to host
another event like this.


on the performances:

jg weir vs kzk:  these two guys, john and brian, are quite the talented
people.. and when they get together to do this particular guitar project,
i think it works QUITE well.  excellent guitar drone.  put my loopy head
into a nice trance.   thought it was quite cute how mr kzk/brian reverts
to an 8 year old child (complete with slinky!) when he plays.

atticus coucil:  great great jazz!  i have seen these guys play as the
atticus trio (they changed the name to allow some rotation/additions with
the band).. but i think last night was my fave performance from them.  was
neat to hear the reactions of people to these guys.. and was also very
neat to have such a jazzy element at a chill event.  

de3:  de3/dan was the last live act of the night..  very good
abstract/ambient/idm-ish/techno/howeveryouwanttoclassifyhismusic set.
this was my first time being able to see dan in a live context outside of
the kuci studios.. i was quite impressed.


on the food:

it was good veggie indian food.  what more can i say? :)


i guess that is it.
hopefully those that planned to go but could not get tickets will buy them
early before they sell out next time!
