After seeing Cuckoo Chaos at the Casbah a few weeks ago, I told Jackson "I keep expecting to not be super into one of your projects..." Yet again, that was not the case. Cuckoo Chaos is built on the songwriting of Scott Wheeler accompanied by Jeremy Scott (The Paddle Boat) on drums and Single Screen Records duo Craig Barclift and Jackson Milgaten on Bass and Guitar. Their fast-paced indie folk combined with four part vocal harmonies had me hooked from the first song.
This afternoon around 1pm we'll be filming a live set by Cuckoo Chaos at Luce Loft. If you're downtown on your lunch break or looking to cure your unemployment boredem, cruise down and hang out for an hour.

I listen to Yppah when I paint sometimes or need to relax. I recently got their new album They Know What Ghost Know and I'm liking what they did with the music video for "Gumball Machine Weekend". I think I've had dreams about this lil guy.

Carly sent me this song a while back, and I can't seem wear it out. Jessica Lea Mayfield has a mature, sultry voice for the ripe age of 19 and happens to be playing at The Loft at UCSD this Saturday. Check out We've Never Lied and our week's trivia question below.

Back in January, Sezio interviewed Brooklyn-based Illustrator / Adventurer Morgan Blair. We were all so enthralled by her, that we created a new program just to get her and her work out west.
Sezio's Artist Exchange Program will launch in August when Morgan and a friend road trip across the country. Upon arrival into San Diego, Morgan will stay at Luce Loft for a week and will be creating a custom installation to go with the various work she crams into her car.
Sezio will host a two night opening, August 14th and 15th at downtown San Diego's Luce Loft. We're excited to have Karl Strauss and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego on board for this initial event. MCASD has provided a travel stipend for Morgan, and in return Morgan will be leading an Illustration workshop at MCASD's downtown building on August 13th. More details to come...
