Micachu & the Shapes are one of the funnest bands to watch perform. We trust you’ll open up your imagination wide as you’re listening to this great band fly through some tunes full of quirkiness and punch. Think of the incredible gestures they made while making these sounds. Maybe they are beating drums, ukulele and keys in a jumpy stomping jam or maybe they’re floating far above the Earth dropping notes to the tops of trees below so that birds may form nests for their young to fly skyward and flap a wing hello back at Micachu. Or possibly these sounds are evoking images of a robotic roadrunner looping around a track as the audience stomps and mashes the floor with enthusiastic cheers of encouragement. Whatever your visions may involve we hope you enjoy this “sprout session” from one of our favorite bands.

Pregnant is the bottomless and humble musical interest and hobby of Daniel Trudeau. The project has existed for over a decade in all plausible slews and fashions from a solo incarnation on into a quintet and is always presented first and foremost as Electronic Pop, although that definition cannot and will not fully sum a conclusive aural understanding of the material. Trudeau invites his eclectic imagination, along with whatever available retinue of performers, to imbue his music with a contextually familiar sound and for the purpose of pulling in even the most bereft listeners; domesticating them, for lack of a better word, to go on a proper listening journey.

Davia Spain is a prism. The light and dark of a life buoyed by triumph and marred by tragedy is refracted through her work, the lilt of existence as recognizable as her lithe contralto. Her art is a melange of mediums, a stew of classical and jazz training, electronic experimentation, theater, intrepid filmmaking and sinuous dance. Her latest work, ‘Dawning,’ is an exhalation, a diaphramatic release in which her experiences are explored, absorbed and released through a sci-fi concept album about a woman sent from underwater to save earth. Born in Lagos, raised in California; Omolara Abode, often called Omo for short, spent most of her formative years exploring digital media as a platform for alternative storytelling. After a childhood of experimentation with late 90s consumer equipment, she finessed her technical skills at UCLA’s School of Film and Television, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in production and directing. She is currently completing her Preliminary Teaching Credential in Mathematics. Her creative endeavors led her to the world of immersive media – video projections, mapping, and installations featuring what she calls “video collage” – foregoing the traditional narrative methods of post-production and opting for visually arresting timelines within common yet ever-evolving venues; including art galleries, warehouse raves, nightclubs, and alternative-minded corporate events. Omo anticipates a shift in how film and video are used for creative expression, and has found that immersive media is the tool of using an environment (even virtual ones) for the purpose of making statements through intensely curated content. http://instagram.com/videomo.mov The performances aim to create a physical and conceptual space that enriches and promotes the practice of Los Angeles musicians and visual artists. Funding from this grant, has enabled both organizations to pair six visual artists with six musicians to create 6 new collaborative audiovisual performances. Each performance consists of an original, A/V set. The performance will be broadcast on Dublab’s webstream this Saturday 19th at 4pm. This grant received from mediaThe foundation inc, supports DUBLAB and FEMMEBIT’s shared aim to promote and support our community of LA-based filmmakers, musicians, animators, and creative coders. The project’s all-female roster also aligns with FEMMEBIT’s mission to create a platform for female-identifying artists working in video and new media. By providing diverse talent from DUBLAB and FEMMEBIT’s communities with technical resources, physical space, and a wide-reaching web platform, The Art of Performance provides a unique opportunity for the dynamic, synesthetic aspects of live audiovisual performance to flourish and be shared with an audience now and for years to come. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKaOHy-FoXE&list=PLwv1SuXh4kHzU_-rENW1yXS7DrGoWWnWl

Dublab x FEMMEBIT Present: The Art of Performance – W/ Jackie Stewart and Eva Aquila. Jackie “Oblivia” Stewart started performing sound in 1979 in Portland, Oregon. Mostly performing within groups until 2001, when she performed a DJ “throw down” of sorts (both DJ’s performed at the same time) and it ended up as a collaboration. Groups Jackie has performed in include “the improvs” (1979), “Spy vs. Spy” (1980), “Babylon 2000” (1981-83), and “Smegma” (1982-present). Though Stewart experimented on guitar and very much enjoys vocals, she has found her focus with turntables. Her visual art medium is assemblage or collage, so it comes naturally to Jackie to assemble sounds. She enjoys hearing how beautiful or humorous “mixing” can be, in the same way things come together visually when assembling her cut-up art pieces. With Smegma she says “I can enjoy a freedom of expression, totally unrestricted and of my own: as in I choose to interpret what my part will sound like. It has enabled me to learn much about recording and live performance.” Jackie’s sounds have appeared on dozens of releases, both solo and in group formats, in addition to her work with video. Eva Aguila is a multidisciplinary artist and organizer from Los Angeles, CA. Aguila’s artistic background includes, video, performance, and sound. Her passion for video art started in 2010 when she started the cable access television show, Experimental Half-Hour with her partner Brock Fansler. Through Experimental Half-Hour, Aguila collaborated, curated, and applied analog special effects with performers and other video artists to create collaborative art videos. Aguila co-created Coaxial Arts Foundation in 2015 as a way to further the community of media art in LA, as well as foster the community itself. Her passion for grassroots organizing started as a need to uplift underrepresented art communities. Inspired by the in-between and structuralist techniques, her work most recently is informed by the oral histories and Mexican diaspora of rural communities of Michoacan where her parents and family are from. The performances aim to create a physical and conceptual space that enriches and promotes the practice of Los Angeles musicians and visual artists. Funding from this grant, has enabled both organizations to pair six visual artists with six musicians to create 6 new collaborative audiovisual performances. Each performance consists of an original, A/V set. The performance will be broadcast on Dublab’s webstream this Saturday 19th at 4pm.

For dublab’s 21st anniversary celebration, Sonoran band Margaritas Podridas recorded this live session in the studio Onda Sonora, in Hermosillo, Mexico. It was prepared in a very d.i.y format with cloth from their local fabric store and some help from their friends. The band also included a little sneakpeak from their upcoming album. Margaritas Podridas (Rotten Daisies) from Sonora, México, is an alternative rock band influenced by the grunge and noise music movement of the 90’s that emerged in 2015. The band was first started by Carolina Enriquez, the lead singer and bass player, and Sofia Leon, the former guitarist of the band. Rafael Armenta, the drummer, joined the band in 2016, and after a few rehearsals, Esli Meuly also integrated the group adding a second guitar to the band. After Sofia left the project, Alfonso Lopez entered the band as a guitarist, and in july 2018 the two couples recorded and released their debut album named “Porcelain Mannequin” which is available on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, Youtube, Deezer, etc. The band recorded their upcoming album in January 2020 and it is coming out at the end of the year.
