So Jennalex is the the energy behind a fabulous project called the Bayview Artpatch. The project involves transforming a desolate plot of land, long the site of broken down artcars and other flotsam and jetsam leftover from half-finished art and mechanical projects, into a flourishing garden complete with installations of sculptures made of reused, reclaimed and recycled material. More info on the project can be found at : www.jennalex.com/artpatch
We need people to help with the project and we need people to attend the benefit on Sat 3/24 @ 12 Galaxies in The Mission.
The benefit features one of my all time favorite bands, San Francisco's very own The Mermen.
This event will mark the reunion, after an eight-year hiatus, of the bands founding members: Jim Thomas (guitar), Allen Whitman (bass) and Martyn Jones (drums). The band is well known for what the Village Voice described as "amazing, cascading waves of dreamlike sound'. David Fricke, of Rolling Stone described the Mermen's music as "an extreme brand of surf music; the trebely turbulent and black minor chord moods of guitarist Jim Thomas are like a rough ride on the icy seas of the mid-Atlantic. Hints of Dick Dale filter through the cracked sidewalk wave forms of Sonic Youth. Thomas sounds more like Neil Young at the wheel of the good ship Crazy Horse."
The Bayview Artpatch is an effort by artists in the SF Bay area to build a sculpture garden using reused, reclaimed and recycled materials. They are taking what was the site of broken down junk cars and are turning it into a beautiful space the whole community can share. The goal is to bring together the artists in the area and the residents of the neighborhood to create a safe and healthy place for everyone.
Come join the Mermen for an evening of atmospheric psychedelicia to help the Bayview Artpatch. Come out and support the Artpatch, an effort by artists in the Bayview/Hunter's Point area to bring a little beauty to a long ignored and desecrated part of the city. We're planting seeds in strange places to see what pops up. Support our efforts and treat yourself to a night of great music.
