Anabella, we'll miss you!
Anabella creating posse portraits
Many of you know artist Bella, she has been a gallery angel at Anno Domini on First Fridays, she has been a trooper for Phantom Galleries, she was a core member of Heart of Chaos, a board member and kid's workshop instructor at WORKS, an instructor at the Children's Discovery Museum, a prolific photographer, and on and on and on with her time, talents and inspiring energy!
Anabella leaves for Albuquerque, NM tomorrow, and we will all miss her terribly! (Roadtrip to tumbleweed territory anyone?!)

THIS IS ALSO A WAX POETICS RELEASE PARTY for EAST OF UNDERGROUND !
In 1971, in the midst of America's conflict in Vietnam, the U.S. Army held a show-band contest and showcased the two winning bands in a promotional album. East of Underground, the gritty runner-up, managed to capture the spirit of America with their sweet-soul covers of Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and Funkadelic.
The quality of the recording is superior, as is the musicianship: the falsetto harmonies, the gritty guitar, the devouring drums. But song choice is just as responsible for the success of the album.
Unlike other obscure-funk reissues and compilations, East of Underground is immediately familiar, instantly gratifying, and endlessly playable. And especially poignant today.
East Of Underground (first release/reissue on new WAX POETICS label)
