Los Angeles, CA, August 4, 2007 - It's guitar virtuoso week at Dangerous Curve on the afternoon of Sunday, August 12, 2007, starting at 4:00 p.m. It's the day after our opening of the Annual Downtown Artists Grants Exhibition, so the space will be crowded with local art selected by the grant committee.  Still, we'll squeeze you in, so you can be wow-ed by these master of fretted axes, as they take things to their limits.  Some of them sing, too.

As always, beverages will be served, and most of the times, a great art show will be up.

We're located two miles from Chinatown, at 1020 East Fourth Place, between Molino and Mateo Streets, in the back of the 500 Molino Street Lofts, #102, between the Fourth Street Bridge's (on the LA River side of Downtown) two on/off ramps.  See our website http://dangerouscurve.org for directions, pictures, and updates.

More about the Musicians

OGOGO http://igorogogo.com, http://www.myspace.com/ogogoigor is all over the place and has been everywhere.  His guitar playing will take you out of your head, but not out of your mind, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com, http://www.myspace.com/andrelafosse has spent over half his life charting the common ground between "live" and "electronic" music.  He's a guitarist, looper, producer, engineer, MIDI programmer, composer, and improviser.  The duality of guitar performance and electronic sound manipulation, performance verses production, organic and synthetic, has been perhaps the single most defining factor in LaFosse's music.  His years at CalArts covered a wide array of studies: electric guitar with Miroslav Tadic, jazz with Larry Koonse and Wadada Leo Smith, guitar synthesizer with Stuart Fox, North Indian/Hindustani classical music with Dr. Rajeev Taranath, Javanese gamelon with Pok Djoko Waludjo.  He was also in innumerable ensembles blending rock, fusion, world music, and live electronic performance.  He was mentioned in Guitar Player magazine when he was 21.  His sound is both intensely organic and unmistakably digitized, with Andre utilizin!
 g percussive slaps, harmonics, and extended techniques to create a sound more in common with drum machines and crates of vinyl than with any conventional ideas about the electric guitar.  He filters post-DJ culture through his own instrument: turning production-based studio concepts into a performance-oriented live discipline, and making technology subordinate to the whims of an instrumental improviser. 

Nate Scoble http://natescoble.com has been an active singer-songwriter and guitarist for many years, sometimes working under the pseudonym of "Nils Shields."  His principal projects were The Blue Daisies, What Makes Donna Twirl?, The Smash Cousins (later, Future of Hell), Mouthsore (with Russell Masuno AKA Ginger Leigh), and The Deadbeats (who wrote the song "Kill The Hippies").  He wrote "Startron and The Love Ring," an avant-rock opera, and various song cycles: "Songs for Bob Enevoldsen," "Lavendar Lovegiver In The Pansex," "Darkheart," "Gingham Girl," and "Trystram Street."  He has co-written art songs and bossa-nova-idiom songs with Weba Garretson, and is a favorite at Dangerous Curve.

Please adopt animals from local animal care facilities, rescue groups, and shelters rather than purchasing them from breeders or pet stores, and have your companion animals spayed or neutered.

Did you know that if everyone in LA who already has a cat adopted just one shelter cat around every 15 years, not one would have to die?  Look on http://laanimalservices.com/adoptsearchphotos.htm to choose one of them today!
