Giant Gohbot in Poketo

So last month, I went to L.A. twice to see one of my favorite artists, PCP aka Heisuke Kitazawa exhibit his work at Giant Robot and a week later at Poketo.

Here’s a few photos from Atsushi’s camera…Atsushi of Scrabbel, PCP, Me

Eric Nakamura. My cousin from a different dozen.

After the GR show, Eric was kind enough to host an intimate living room concert, which was really fun for me. I ended up doing a twisted version of “Creep” by Radiohead. There was some serious star power in that room. (photo via Giant Robot Eric)James Jean, Martin Wong, Saelee Oh, Stanley, Astushi, Michael, David Choe Mannequin

A week later, Atsushi and I drove down to L.A. again for an event called “Bang, Bang, Draw!” that Poketo put on featuring PCP and musician Marc Bianchi aka Her Space Holiday

There was a great Q&A session between Heisuke and Marc about their artistic relationship and processes, I definitely learned a lot about them and thoroughly enjoyed the banter and music.

Before we drove down, I had asked Ted and Angie of Poketo if I could crash the party by playing a set at the very end, and they very kindly said yes! I played a few songs…

and Marc rocked an awesome set to close it all out. Love his songs…

Thanks to Atsushi, Tony Kang and Ruby Rubes, Ted and Angie of Poketo, Eric of Giant Robot and Heisuke and Mark for the great times!
