LA Review: One of a few... Crewest Gallery, MOCA and Family

Kaps, Mouse, Saber and Chaz Bojorquez @MOCA

We have just returned back from the States after playing at SXSW in Austin Texas - I would have updated as we went but the Blogger and Hotel ISP were having issues... so now you are going to get the run down all in one big ass blog one after the other!

Having caught up with Chaz Bojorquez and Christina Ochoa on our last Saturday night in Los Angeles - Chaz so kindly gave us a preview of his works for ART IN THE STREETS at MOCA in Downtown Los Angeles. You will have to wait until April 17th  - but it is ILL!!! If you in LA you should be there - it was a beautiful experience witnessing the work behind the works - seen? It was an honour to meet so many talented people in such a small amount of time - all in one place!

On the same night was the closing and signing of the RIPE exhibition at Crewest in Winston Street, Downtown LA - free tacos, good PLATA wine and good conversation.

Hence where I met this brother pictured with Kaps below - sporting one of the tees from the first Hip-Hop Lives Here exhibition.  Then realised that the brother was the actual brother of our good friend Christina! Waddup Mychal, Dominick and Susan?!?

Also had the opportunity to catch up with Angry Woebot and meet a brother for the first time Sket-One from Connecticut - whaddup uce?

 Overall that one night was DOPE, plus the only reason why we stay in a hotel downtown is for MOCA and the Public Library across the road from the hotel [looking for Pacific Island Journals and Books]...plus there is the Staple Centre but that will be in the next update ya'll! Mad hip-hop love going out to our family and new friends in LA :: WORD :: Mouse.
