Font Sunshine and Conscious Summary (with MCs Slapoint and Miguel Landeros of Yuga) played a guerilla show Saturday May 29 at approximately 9pm in a parking lot in Riverside, CA. About 50 – 80 people in the parking lot were watching/listening. There were also about 30 – 45 on the decks of 2 bars in the immediate area.
FS played for approximately 25 minutes, combining new age cassette tapes, improvised roughshod noise, live cell phone calls, and MC Slapoint for an extended poetry session, and Miguel Landeros who had a long experimental improvised freestyle session. It was amazing. These photos capture some of the mysterious, intense feel.
The first performance ended when a police car showed up. Someone at the bar called in a 5150! The police officer was friendly, saw that there was no ‘danger,’ and left. Then Conscious Summary played an amazing set with violin and circuit bent stuff, including an electric pencil sharpener. Killer!
