----> Event Description <-----------------------------------------------
12 Galaxies, San Francisco’s newest live music venue, presents a unique weekend blending achingly beautiful music with works by 24 artists inspired by the music.
“This instrumental group is honestly gorgeous. A few tracks had me on the verge of tears, but I’m guessing that’s the point.” -Thrust April 2003
Friends of Dean Martinez features members of Calexico, Giant Sand and Naked Prey. Their music is a sonic meandering through a dark soundscape. While always paying homage to their Southwestern roots, Friends of Dean Martinez explores new instrumental territory with each progressive release. Their current CD, “Random Harvest” (4/6/04, Narnack Records) is their deepest and greatest project to date. With plenty of lounge music and desert country twang thrown in, Bill Elm’s keening steel guitar at the forefront, and insertions of found sound, they evoke open dusty landscapes with wit and, one suspects, a bit of tongue-in-cheek irony.
The “Range Life” art show, curated by Jud Bergeron, features 24 artists. Each artist was given an advanced copy of “Random Harvest”, and asked to create their art while listening to the music. The artists include: Joe Sorren, Eric White, Jordin Isip, Daniel Dent, Gabe Scott, Grant Irish, Dan Romo, Joel Dugan, Kelly Tunstall, Michael Maes, Gordon Huether, Jud Bergeron, Zenaida Sengo, Anne Faith Nichols, Joe Cariati, MARS, Martin Olive, Rodger Stevens, Damon Soule, Brice Eichelberger, Melinda Beck, Dann Gesink, Ben Harris, and Rogelio Martinez.
The art show will be displayed on the mezzanine level, and available before, during and after the shows.
