Wowzo Wowzee- huge show tonight- Flying Lotus, live at the Blind Pig.
Flying Lotus is an experimental hip hop, dance, electronic music maker from the west coast. He creates the ever-elusive intelligent beats that make a dude want to dance. Flying Lotus is in town to premiere a live score to Harry Smith’s 1972 ‘Heaven & Earth Magic’, an animated experimental film, at the Ann Arbor Film Festival (more on the Film Fest tomorrow- but check it, check it, check it.) However, the official Ann Arbor Film Festival afterparty- hosted with Ann Arbor cool kids, Dark Matter– is a live set from Flying Lotus himself, along with VJ Strangeloop, and Chicago band Mahjongg.
Look, the dude is the great nephew of Alice Coltrane, he’s making ridiculous beats right now, he puts on a show (saw him at DEMF last summer- zedis!), and he is a well known fan of weirdo drug DMT.
Get to the Film Fest screening and then mosey your ways over to the Blind Pig. Or Razor scooter, or whatever you gotsta do.
