These past few weeks I have been discovering a lot of different music spots in LA! Last night was the most interesting by far! I love experiencing new music and art, and living in this wonderful city gives me tons of opportunities to do so!
Every third Tuesday of the month there is a music event called Bananas at the Kaos Network on the corner of Leimert Park. I have passed this venue often, but never paid much attention to it. Parking was easy and free, which is always a plus in the busy streets of LA. I'm so glad I got to experience the great atmosphere and positive vibes last night. Kyle "Verbs" Guy hosted the event, and each month they have a variety of underground artist sharing their art on the stage! Last night, nearly a dozen artists graced the stage: Vinny Virgo, Coresh, Shango Zeropoint, Go Semi, Chasity Londyn, Osbe, Weareskywalkers, God MC, Telsa, Hazmat, Conchance, Sevidemic.
This opened my eyes to a new style of music. It was very new to me, and very fun to watch! The artists were rappers, but like rockers. They were very energetic, jumping around, and getting the crowd in to the hype! Some artists had bands, and some had DJ's. It was a great variety of music, and unique sounds.
Besides the music portion, there were so many other activities going on! Outside of the venue there were a lot of people hanging out, and socializing. The energy was pretty awesome! With the chill, yet unique attire, relaxing vibes, great conversations, and the aroma of food and smoke, it was the perfect dynamic. There were food stands serving tasty and cheap meals, along with water for beverage. Wo'se Kofi ran the Patties Gourmet Vegan Food Stand, which got a lot of positive feedback last night. Apparently, partakers couldn't believe how flavorful Vegan food could be.
Overall, this music event was an eye opener to really cool people and artistic performers. The energy was calm, yet fun, depending on being inside or outside. People were very sociable, and I enjoyed meeting people from literally around the globe. I definitely plan on attending this event in the future, for another great night!
