"Possibly one of the best weekends of my life! Thank you Space Cave!"
PRESS:
An east side residence, The Space Cave is easily this adventure's most perfectly suited house for show purposes. Not only do the inhabitants of the Cave have excellent interior and exterior design sensibilities, the house has a sprawling backyard with nothing short of two campfires and three tipis, and a lowered living room area (it looked like an addition) with wood floors and significant standing room for performances. Oh, and bonus: free boxes of granola cereal in the kitchen. Better still, the yard backed up to an apartment complex that was situated far enough away that noise probably wasn't a huge deal.
The relatively large performance space meant the bands could afford to spread out, something that worked out perfectly for our first act Najeeb Sabour and the spillover of auxiliary musicians (mandolin, ukulele, etc.) who accompanied his compositions. Other acts that night included the confrontationally electronic Fiction, a DJ set from Mos Jefecit (sic), and more. The Space Cave was the most crowded residence of the three, and since the gathering was also a birthday celebration, socializing out by the tipis and mugging with one really drunk Santa took on a parallel role to watching the bands. Be that as it may, ample opportunity could be found to do both, and the carefree crowd interaction and relaxed air of the performances was a mirror image of the other two house shows, especially Natrix Natrix.
Spacecavers! Pacific greetings to all of you, I miss y'all but damn the ocean is good for a migrant heart. Can't wait to see your ridiculous plans carried out in your backyard next month. LOVE, Bjarke
