ESTHER KU, from Last Comic Standing and Howard Stern, and her sister PO stopped in first, playing a song about an 18 inch schlong on the ukelele.

After a set from BRAND B we were joined by all the rest of our guests in a huge rush. SUBTITLE was the instigator in a nerdy discussion that included Black Jack Parsons, World of Warcraft and more. JP from WHITE ARROWS and DIOS also weighed in on the conspiracy theories, scoring a t-shirt from SUBTITLE for knowing so much.

got Josh Sussman to attempt freestyling over Jayk beatboxing. Bunny
rapped one of her songs over a beatbox, and Jayk attempted to cover Deap

An extremely entertaining and philosophical character, JP plays bass. Mickey Schiff, born legally blind but regaining his sight at 11, started White Arrows with brother Henry Schiff and childhood friend J.P. Caballero. However, unbeknownst to the brothers then, J.P. was literally family, courtesy of a sperm donation by his dad to help some friends conceive. The band describes their sounds as “a joyous burst of kaleidoscopic beats, genre-hopping and psychedelic textures,” all with a little bit of L.A.’s Eastside sound thrown in to make it feel like home.

penchant for classic pop songwriting, lush synthscapes and dance floor
anthems.
DRUID BEAT (Joshua Patterson)
DRUID BEAT
There is a lot more to say about Josh then what I'm about to say, but I've been sworn to secrecy. The Druid Beat considers their work a continuation of the traditions of the Mystery Schools of antiquity. They seek to use the power of allegory and symbolism to evolve earthly consciousness. "We hope to spur this planet's meta-physical growth. We are sons and daughters of the stars." They believe in exploring the science of matter as well as the science of spirit, and the synthesis of the two as an inevitable progression.
