Boy Crisis, Emanuel and the Fear, Das Racist To Play Music + Art Party at 3rd Ward On Saturday
NYC’s Paper Garden Records will present the multimedia extravaganza, Multiverse Playground, at Brooklyn’s 3rd Ward on Saturday, November 7. Paper Garden bands Emanuel and the Fear, Peasant and Darla Farmer will be performing as part of this event, also featuring performances by Das Racist and Boy Crisis.
Emanuel and the Fear will play Multiverse Playground this Sat!
Conceived to “shine a new light (literally) on our everyday perception of music and art,” Multiverse Playground will be a unique live music experience, designed to “heighten the viewer’s awareness of the space, lighting and their relationship with the constructed environment and the music.”
An idea spawned by conceptual art visionary Larry Mayorga, the light display for the event will be dependent on the music and exclusively designed for the bands.
According to Paper Garden President Bryan Vaughan, “This event came together back in the Spring and was initially just a collaborative idea between Larry Mayorga and myself to incorporate his light installations into a music show. Ideas snowballed from there, and with the help of Paper Garden’s newest representative, Heidi Greenwood, we began developing and implementing a slew of additional ideas into the event and ultimately deciding that this event can really break out of the traditional record label idea and into many more non-traditional arts and cultures scenes.”
Accompanying the art of Mayorga, Paper Garden will also be showcasing photography exhibition by Greenwood and a live conceptual art performance by NYC art collective, Art Battles. Comedy Central’s Kurt Metzger will perform stand-up between Art Battles and Paper Garden’s acts and then Brooklyn’s Boy Crisis will headline the event with a guest appearance by Das Racist! Dance Party.
Also, it has to be said: there will be free Colt 45 from 6-7pm. Party!
“Paper Garden will be using this first event as a milestone for a quarterly series and eventually taking it on the road as an entire tour,” adds Vaughan. So, come out this Saturday — you can say you were there at the first!
