BALANCE BY ARTS INAUGURAL FUNDRAISER: COMEDY SHOW [EVENT RECAP]

Wednesday, April 4th, 2012

Last Sunday on behalf of Cashmere, I went to support for my dear friend Dominique LaFargue’s first fundraiser for Balance By Arts. The newly-formed nonprofit, is an innovative outreach organization committed to creatively educating youth about responsible methods of dealing with teen issues. Dominique and her partners (Dana Moore & Randi Taylor) seek to educate young people through performing arts, including acting, music and dance.

The fundraiser was a comedy show hosted by James Davis (Baracka Flacka Flame, Funny or Die) and featured a wide variety of young comedians from all over the United States. The diverse lineup included comics from various races, including black, white and Indian. The crowd laughed throughout the event and a few lucky supporters went home with raffle prizes, such as a G-Shock watch, an iPhone case, headphones and an iPad. It was a great time and a great cause. Looking forward to more from the Balance By Arts team. More photos after the jump. – Brandon, @Eazee

TONIGHT: OPEN HOUSE 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Tonight Open House celebrates their  three year anniversary at Señor Fish in Little Tokyo.  Open House is a house dance and music community in the greater Los Angeles area aimed to support and build a haven for dancers and music lovers of all ages, race, color, or creed to get together and share the knowledge of house dance, music, philosophy and club culture.  Their weekly program is designed to encompass these tenets of House culture as a place to improve one’s skills, to exchange knowledge, history, moves and energies, as well as to socialize and simply have fun. In addition, Open House offers frequent dance workshops, performances and special events for the Los Angeles community in which their mission is to create a safe, positive environment for all participants to release their creativity within house music.  Open House aims to preserve the essence of House music/culture….open, honest, and pure expression.

This celebration is also an official pre-party for SHOW DOWN/KOD. Come and meet local, national, and international dancers/artists. Or, simply put your dancing shoes on for a good time!

Half of the proceeds made from the 3 year anniversary Open House party will be donated to the Versa-Style Dance Company tour. Versa-Style Dance Company is fundraising to tour throughout the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). A good friend of Open House, the director of Versa-Style Dance Company, Jackie Lopez has been working hard to provide high-quality arts education through hip hop dance. It costs $1,000 to give a full-length performance at one school. They have raised enough money to cover 10 schools so far. However, Jackie’s goal is to produce a show in 30 schools. There are hundreds of students who are inspired by Versa-Style’s dancers and they are next the generation that will support our community.

With over 2,000 bands performing at 90+ different venues in downtown Austin, SXSW can be a bit overwhelming, even to the most seasoned tastemaker.

Luckily the music aficionados within Chime.in’s Music Discovery Community have done much of the legwork for you by curating a massive SXSW Spotify playlist of key songs from the best new artists who will be performing at the legendary music conference this year.  If you plan on attending SXSW, this playlist will serve as a fantastic primer before you go about setting your show schedules.  Even if you can’t make the festival this year, this is a great way to discover tons of new bands, many of whom the industry will be buzzing about for years to come.

Also, don’t miss Chime.in at SXSW.  They’re proud sponsors of the dubFrequency event at the W Hotel and the Vibe House event at Kiss & Fly.  Both events take place over two days on Friday, March 16th and Saturday, March 17th.  Visit their booth for free gift bags, complimentary drinks, a chance to earn exclusive VIP backstage access, and other special surprises.
