Extra Credit Assignment: Write and record a song for the Jeffrey Vallance Now! campaign. This respondent prefers to remain anonymous, but she earned an "A"!
"It’s time for change
I know Jeffrey is definitely strange
but then listen..
he’ll take America into a whole new range
from California, went to CSUN
dressed as janitor, sneaked into museum
been to Italy, been to France
been to Mexico, and Amsterdam
pretty famous, pretty clever
we need him
now more than ever
if you’re still doubting
why still choose him
consider the alternatives
and let art win!"
F will be performing their first live set of 2016 as "F for Freak" at the opening of 'Hearsay: Artists Reveal Urban Legends' in downtown Los Angeles on Friday May 13th at 8 PM, with projections.
F is a Los Angeles art-rock supergroup whose motto is "Simplicity Through Noise" and who have developed a practice rooted in improvisational ensemble playing using electric guitars (played with rubber mallets and other extended as well as traditional techniques) and vintage synthesizers, in various combinations of three. Their debut album Faüxmish was released Sept 2, 2011 and later this year they will be releasing a limited edition cassette titled FF. F are Daniel Hawkins, Marnie Weber, and Doug Harvey.

If you're in the Los Angeles area and in the mood for a different sort of performance art, swing by the Nan Rae Gallery at Woodbury U in Burbank tonight at 8 for an unusual line-up of LA-based performers, in conjunction with "practice, Practice, practice: Abstract Spirituality in Los Angeles Painting, Sculpture and Performance" curated by Doug Harvey.
This evening's unique offerings include Mary Anna Pomonis' blindfolded abstract painting ritual dedicated to the Sumerian Goddess Inanna, a demonstration of advanced yoga asanas by Khang Bao Nguyen accompanied on the mouth organ by Joana Ayala, who will also debut a new body of solo vocal work channeling a divine feminine archetype called MAGA. The evening will conclude with a drone chord organ improvisation by Dani Tull. It promises to be a memorable evening!
UPDATE: Joana Alaya on the mouth harp accompanying Khang Bao Nguyen's yoga demonstration - visit the pPp catablog to see more images from the pPperformance Night!
