We’ve been busy… she will explain.

Hello there…

Aubrey here…

I just want to take a moment tell you that we are having another
event for Andrew Tolentino and Mike Arreaga (of the Peep Show
currently in our gallery) on Wed. the 13th of May.

TARTUFI is going to be playing a show that night. They were named the best band of San
Francisco last year, and we are honored to have them playing at space!
Andrew and Mike will have more work on the walls that night and going to be
creating art here for you! Mike will be screen printing t shirts, and
cards with a custom design. Andrew will be breaking and painting skateboards:
your’s, his, people who just happen to skate by…. whoever!

It’s going to be a fun night, so come by and if your friends
weren’t able to come to the opening, do bring them out!

Tartufi is said to be “part aggressive, experimental-noise rock,
part delicate and lovely melody and completely awesome” by the
Omaha Reader.

Goes well with Deerhoof, Explosions In The Sky,
Animal Collective, The Golden Bears.

“Tartufi knows what they’re doing… The San Francisco duo uses
complex song structures to build what can only be described as
sonic collages, employing unusual instrumentation and dynamic
shifts to achieve a rolling-river feel to the songs. Each song
on the disc takes its time in establishing the mood (there’s
only one song under five minutes), and there’s a sense of
continuity between the songs… Even better, the individual
songs are strong examples of craftsmanship… Us Upon Buildings
Upon Us is a success.You might not be able to dance to it, but
you’ll enjoy it nonetheless.”

Needless to say these cats are amazing. Come out to see us,
listen to the sweet sounds of Tartufi, and create some art. You
won’t be disappointed!

All starts at 9P.M! I’ll see you here!

We filmed their music video earlier today…after a few hours of processing emotions, crying, phone calls, and updating sites… we decided to use our energies to create something… from the 33rd floor rooftop of a building… downtown, in a city sitting at 33 degrees on the map (Dallas)… on 03/09/09. Just saying. It wasn’t by design. There was this wind… it blew hard at the end.

Space is producing their debut record… in tradition with what was the incubation of the Velvet Underground… SPACE, our modern day factory… has found a couple of strands of its own “home grown” sounds to grow… and share with the Universe.

Scrapiron is gone… but not forgotten

Keith sent me the message this morning that Scrapiron passed yesterday. This is a sorry deal too. Ford was a great man… and a good friend…. a real artist and amazing soul. He has no family other than his brother… and there is no money for funeral set aside… it’s really shitty this whole deal has me angry…sad… fearful… and pissed… and grateful… all of it.
We want to have a memorial of some sort… I just need to get sorted.
Stay tuned…
We are making arrangements for a memorial to be had in SPACE (TBA) in hopes to raise the resources needed for a proper burial.

Peace to you my friend.
