Directed by Mecca Vazie Andrews, THE SERIES IX “AN OCEAN IN FATHOMS” went swimmingly on Tuesday, September 6th. The night opened with a poetry reading and live installation by four top LA-based writers: Kate Durbin, Mathew Timmons, David Shook and Mandy Kahn. Musical performances included folky variety music from Tender, Yellow Red Sparks, RT N’ The 44′S, and Raw Geronimo. Bloody Death Skull used one of the hotels water bed pods as a incubus for a sound/art installation while performance artist, D’Arcy French-Myerson led a trio of sea sirens called “Kelp Girls” in a pool dance piece. Composer/conductor Ali Helnwein played with his new string quartet Zero Machine while ballet dancers performed choreography by Andrews as part of The MOVEMENT Movement. Additionally, the night featured original video art by director Alexandra Pelly of The Masses and Dublab, along with an interactive paper hat-making station led by costume designer/artist Susanna Battin and clothing from OHARA’s new line. The Series’ producer Nicole Disson strikes again tonight, October 11, bringing her 10th collision of L.A. arts to the Standard rooftop.

Warning, this video is N.S.F.LUNCH. Unless watching people chew with their mouths open makes you happy—as demonstrated by Doña Nicha, this two brother + 1 cousin +1 neighbor family band grown in Southern California. “Sandwishes” is two swishy guitars and a swoony melody of swirled together words that guide us through a minute and a half long wash of noisy shoe material. The video created by The Great Nordic Swordfights makes eating yucky things a metaphor for love. The family that eats together, and spits on each other, gets its faces melted off together.

Here are some moments we liked:

Whoever can correctly identify all the ingredients of the sandwich eaten in the video will receive free tickets to see Doña Nicha at Lot 1 this Saturday, October 8, with George Glass, Radars To The Sky, and Pick Up Sticks.

Teams, aka Sean Bowie, at Check Yo Ponytail, was a tsunami of brilliance. I couldn’t help but splash my feet about to the eclectic textures of his submerged disco trill funk. Teams’ music takes you to a another realm filled with saturated colors and aquatic vibes. I can’t get enough of his sound right now. —Chris Sanchez

He is slimmer, more handsome, more confident. he is stepping into his destined role as the future Prince. The band is absolutely on fire. He has managed to achieve what was only an attempt before: to raise the songs to the level of overwhelming intensity needed to enrapture a crowd without losing the gentle detail which makes the album so moving in the first place. I already am missing Wednesday night with George. Photos by Ward Robinson

That’s a tiny sardine can for a band with as much depth, power, fame and great material as the Horrors. They blew the roof off the place. Photos by Ward Robinson
