WHO: Amplive, The Tourist + DJ Centipede
WHAT: 3 dudes cooking up some beats to make that mouth water
WHERE: Laszlo (2526 Mission St. – between 21st and 22nd)
WHEN: 5/1/09 : 6-9 pm (and every first Friday, thereafter)
WHY: To celebrate the artistic union between 2 Bay Area pillars of music and art culture…Upper Playground & SonicLiving
Upper Playground and SonicLiving are joining forces to change the face of Friday nights, as well as the face of sonicliving.com. Upper Playground is now going to be heading the art direction for the default concert posters on SonicLiving’s site, giving the musicians that post events some serious visual weight behind their show’s listing (these posters will be up, as of 5/1).
U.P. has long had roots in the Bay Area music scene, which is evident in everything from the fact that they started off as a record store, to the musical artists that have been rocking the gear for over a decade, to the slew of designs referencing music culture. SonicLiving seemed like an obvious choice for the partnership, due to the fact that they are also an integral part of the Bay Area’s music scene and have been working on expanding their reach, to become more of a taste-making organization, as well as an interactive hub for info on concert listings.
To celebrate this new pairing, Upper Playground and SonicLiving are going to be hosting a monthly happy hour party, on the first Fridays of every month (starting on 5/1/09). The resident DJ’s are Amplive (Zion-I) and The Tourist (Magnificent 7). There will also be a guest DJ each month and for the inaugural event, we are proud to have none other than DJ Centipede (Mophono).
UPPER PLAYGROUND WILL BE BUYING THE BEER (Trumer Pils and Shiner Commemorator are on U.P.’s tab until 7pm) + there will be great drink specials and surprise giveaways (concert tickets, clothing and more..), so you will absolutely not want to miss it!
This s**t is gonna be good!
