On Nov 6 we spin through what we do, who we do, and what we done did, why are, what we were and why this existed at all.

VISUAL ARTISTS: Luc-Aimé Beauchamp is the latest self-described “cheeky-surreal” painter to explore the phantasmagoria of contemporary chromatic love, variegated sanity, placid death, and conflicted justice. Beauchamp's most recent works are a series of 20x24 teeth-knashingly-hued watercolor land/seascapes inhabited by lighter-than-air/heavier-than-water humanoid, aquatic, and mechanical bots. Recently transplanted to Honolulu from Brookyn, NY, where Beauchamp ran the infamous Fishypond Gallery inside a Bushwick tortilla factory Beauchamp holds a Bachelor of Arts from Yale and a Ph.D. from Harvard, and has exhibited at group shows in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including at ABC; Wild, Wild Brooklyn; and TNC Gallery; as well as guerrilla performances at HoneySpace, Janos Gat, English Kills, and the Guggenheim.

DAL: "Breaking Down" is DAL’s first show in Honolulu She was born and raised on the east coast and spent most of her life painting and working in the visual arts. Her present life on Oahu is spent compulsively seeking contributions and documenting local graffiti, people and places. She started writing graffiti back in the day and stopped when she began documenting it. Most recently, after graduating from The Art Institute of Boston with a degree in Fine Art, she became more interested in showing the dynamic elements throughout the underground independent hip hop and graffiti culture here in Honolulu.

MUSIC: Breathe of Fire was once called The Bucks Boys. The long hair of lead guitarist and vocalist Jay will become a mess of pulsing curls. Ryan and more friends will bring the rise of the night early and hot.

Quadraphonix is back after two months of skipping in the fields, gathering wild flowers and gently placing them behind each others ears. Shree Saragopan’s guitar with sitar rhythms will sway us into dream, as Taimane Gardner rocks hard on the uke, Eli Clemens brings us back with congas and Jonathan Heraux will bring such a drum beat, for the floor he sees beneathe his feet will soon be in the back of his truck.

Ariel Eisen is back from her Three Month trip of trips across the USA getting her chops up. She has brought a new showmanship to the stage and we get to be in the evolution.

Christina Nelson collaborates with James Shether her songs have been at the soul of our little arts center.

Matty Chamberlain rocks us with his kingly melodies.

Theatre & DANCE: Shakti Dance Movement are our closest sisters. They bring they’re unique show, and soulful presence to the dance floor. Loco-Moco will bust out the juggling clubs. + HUTC will come up with some final ritual theatre antics.
