Earlier in the year I was approached by my friends at Scenario Entertainment to partner up on an event they had created, called Dance Your Art Out. As creating a live event of some type is something I had been thinking about doing via Radical Notion, I was happy to accept.
So I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve been working hard the last few months to organize the next Dance Your Art Out event, which is happening Saturday, August 6th in conjunction with the August Art Crawl.
To kick things off, we’ve put together this promo video with the details:
Dance Your Art Out:
What: a free art show and dance party
Where: Ha Factory 238 5th Ave N. Nashville, TN 37219 (just two doors down from The Arcade)
When: Saturday, August 6th 8pm (in conjunction with the August art crawl)
What else: DJ Kidsmeal will be playing, and the artwork of Twist Gallery will be featured. This party is totally free, with free beer provided by Star Hill Brewery.
The incredible motion sequence for the video above is a piece by visual artist Ryan Hogan. Ryan has been a featured Dance Your Art Out artist in the past, and kindly let us use his creation in this video. Thanks Ryan!
I always hate to hear about bands getting their gear stolen. It’s a total tragedy. Think about those few items you have laying around that carry a lot of sentimental value. Maybe it’s a piece of jewelry, or a plush toy animal from your childhood. Now realize that many times musicians have a sentimental value attached to their instruments. I’ve still got my first guitar for that very reason. Stealing an artist’s instruments, is like inflicting a mortal wound to a person.
My heart goes out to my friends, Nite Nite, who recently had their gear stolen-so much that they can’t play any shows. But the Nashville music scene once again exhibits its unique camaraderie by banding together and organizing a benefit show for Nite Nite. It’s a great thing that I’m pretty sure most other music scenes in other towns don’t have.
So let’s help get our friends Nite Nite back on track, and making great music once again.
Show Details:
Time: Wed, March 23rd at 8pm
Place: Mercy Lounge in Nashville, TN
Bands:
The Lonely H
Bad Cop
Majestico
Diarrhea Planet
Chrome Pony

Two posts within 24hrs is a pretty good way to break the RSS silence on our blog, I suppose. Wanted to put out a quick little news bulletin about something Radical Notion is getting involved in. My friends at Scenario Entertainment asked us to help out with a dance party coming up this week-tomorrow, in fact.
Dance Your ‘Art Out: Art Show and Dace Party
Dance Your ‘Art Out is the first in what’s planned to ultimately become a monthly party featuring DJs, bands, and visual art. This month’s party features unique installation art and live painting brought to you by Twist Art Gallery, including the self illuminated series “Suspension” created by Jaime Raybin and Ryan Hogan.
Here’s what The Nashville Scene is saying about it:
“…instrumental hip-hop from Get-Got and sets from DJs Orig and Potamus are bound to make even the most introverted art wallflower break a sweat. Think of it as a social experiment to discover what happens when art nerds rock out. It’s a great idea: There’s tons of overlap between the dance crowd and the art world, and those stragglers who’ve been waiting in the outer rings of the art/dance Venn Diagram have a great excuse to mingle.” [Read the full article -->]
The Basic Facts
Music and DJ performances by:
Get Got
DJ O-Rig
DJ Potamus
Make sure you stay connected, because we’re gonna post some pics and such (thanks to my friend Jules and her camera work) of the party after the fact. So come party with us! I wanna be standing next to you in more than a few of these pics…
My friend, Josh Jackson, has organized an event to benefit those affected by the Nashville Floods this past May, as a part of United Way Nashville’s Flood Relief “Restore The Dream”.
Because of my close friendship with Josh, as well as the bands that are playing the event, and along with the fact that Radical Notion is a part of the Nashville community, I thought we should devote some space on our blog to help promote the benefit.
This coming Friday, September 17th the show will be happening in Nashville at The End. 100% of the proceeds of the show go to aiding United Way’s flood relief centers throughout the Nashville area. Those who make a donation at: http://unitedwaynashville.org/fire are put on the guest list, and get to enjoy some free goodies provided by the sponsors (see below), such as a free beer to the first 50 people to show up.
