Vosotros‘ Lazy Susan project is capped off tonight at Land in Little Tokyo. The 12 month long project finds Gabe Noel forming a brand new band every month. They write, record, mix, and play live. And then disband.

As of February, the project is one year old, and to celebrate, Vosotros is releasing a compilation of all the recorded singles. Found will be hosting a listening party on Leap Year Day. Their work is highly recommended and Creative Commons licensed.

Modus Vivendi’s Subatomic Sound System, who will be djing at Saturday’s opening of Keith Perelli’s ‘Return,’ will also be playing tonight & tomorrow night. Tonight, they play Zanzibar and tomorrow [Friday], they team up with Golden at the Quon Brothers’ [one seen above] Grand Star Jazz Club’s Firecracker.

Finally, Subatomic plays Saturday evening at the reception [6-9] and perhaps later that evening as well.

Found artist/musician Arrington de Dionyso and his band of merrymen Old Time Relijun are performing tonight and tomorrow night at the Echo and the Smell, respectively.  He originally showed with Found a year ago in our indie-alt-folk-works-on-paper group show Eager Believer.

Diane Barcelowsky, whose work just came down, was also a participating alongside and the two [although Arrington and Diane did not actually meet] realized how well their styles meshed and have since forged a slow moving long distance collaboration from Washington to New York.

I finally got a few pictures up from last week’s Conjunction Gumption party. As you can see, [from left] Golden, CRZA, & Sam Sparro lost a few pounds of sweat and tears. If you missed Sam Sparro, his record release party is this Saturday at Bordello [info below]. Thanks to everyone who came and drank mint juleps.

This is the last installment of our Paper Anniersary festivities.  Generally speaking, the music will be in the gentle, acoustic direction.  Performances by Chesley Walsh, Books Died On, Travis Taylor, Erick Cole, & our very own Amelia June.

Feel free to bring your own treets, beverages, etc., but we’ll definitely have you covered.

We hope to continue the Sunday Sweets series through the fall and into the new year.  In the coming months we will also be holding events such as short film screenings, literary readings, and having some special guest speakers.  More soon….

Sunset Junction begins tomorrow [cars get towed tonight], and Found proudly presents the 3rd part of our one year Paper Anniversary, CONJUNCTION GUMPTION, tomorrow night.

Join us immediately following the Blonde Redhead performance [begins at 7:30pm] for DJ set by Found resident CRZA and a performance by Modus Vivendi’s amazing Sam Sparro.

A little taste of Sam from a recent show at El Cid in Silverlake:

As always, the event is free and we’re serving [as part of the Sunset Junction tradition] a specialty beverage [Mint Juleps]. In addition, the gallery will be open 10am-10:30pm on Saturday and 10am-10pm on Sunday. Stop by.

Thanks to Carina Round & the John Nau Quartet [and those who provided baked goods last Sunday] for giving us some great, intimate sets. If you like what you heard from Carina, you can buy her music on iTunes.

After the jump, we have some pictures by Tito da Costa from the wonderful evening programmed by Amelia June Spooner.

Tonight is our second event as part of our One Year/Paper Anniversary.  Carina Round, the John Nau Quartet, & Erick Cole have graciously volunteered to play their songs for you this evening.  Come for the cupcakes, beer, or because you don’t have anything else going on tonight.  If all goes well, we will be planning to hold one of these every month or two.  Please join us.

UK singer-songwriter Carina Round is one of the many musical acts kind enough to play the gallery this coming August, as we celebrate our one year anniversary [or: Paper Anniversary].  She will be playing, along with Erick Cole, the John Nau Quintet on a quiet Sunday evening in August  [August 12 to be exact] at Found Gallery.

Next Saturday’s opening reception for Donna Angers’ debut exhibition will no longer feature music by Sam Sparro. Instead, Modus Vivendi labelmate Julian Brody will be spinning some real classy electro beats mixed with his Mexican style [mostly original material]. Julian’s performed with the Nortec Collective and numerous other international acts.

In addition, Sam Sparro will reschedule a set for August 18. Found is hosting this special evening during the Sunset Junction Street Festival called Conjunction Gumption, featuring the spaced-out, poppy red stylings of resident evil DJ Crza. In the meantime, Sparro has released a tight little mixtape on his myspace, but you can download it here, too.
