Well, that was an eventful weekend. We stopped by 6th St. for a great benefit show on Friday. Proceeds of the show went to Free Arts for Abused Children and what a great event it was going to be. Sharif and Devendra were spinning records when we arrived then as WEAVE! was a few minutes into their set the show got shut down by men in uniform. People quickly dispersed but unfortunately, according to LA Record, that's not where it ended. A donation account has been set up in Dave's behalf. If you've ever enjoyed a night at Dave's warehouse, you should be giving a buck or two right about now... Despite not really being up for F Yeah-ing it this year, we did stop by to see some friends Anavan, Monotonix, Jonah Ray, URTC, 60-Watt Kid, and a few others. We took a few pics of the back of people's heads if you're interested... Later on that night, we hopped on over to pehrspace for Divisadero. We'll be co-presenting their CD release show at pehrspace on 9/19 with Radio Free Silver Lake. Yay... Also, congrats to Monsters Are Waiting on the release of their new EP. We couldn't make it over yonder for the show on Friday but boxViolet has a nice mention.
