Vosotros is a music project/label spawned by two young, disturbingly talented musicians based in Los Angeles, Gabe Noel and John Gillilan.
John Gillilan and Gabe Noel first met in Professora White’s 7th grade Spanish class, whereby comes the origin of our name. Vosotros is a Spanish verb conjugation roughly meaning “you-all.” But since it is only used in Spain, it was always ignored. Vosotros is music for you-all.
In early 2007, the two began an epic, experimental project titled The Lazy Susan. A description of the project:
“The Lazy Susan was born in February 2007, when we assembled a band to record one song and launch our year-long residency in downtown Los Angeles. Each month during the next year, we assembled a new band to record another song and play another month of the residency. Twelve months later, vosotros presents: the lazy susan – an album featuring thirty-two musicians on twelve songs written by bassist Gabe Noel.
The Lazy Susan introduces music by Noelsson Schmoelsson, Someone’s Piano, First Good Feeling, PB&J … and g, masunday, Saltar, My Moon Boots, The Carrot and Stick, Touhy, ump-off Pause Tape, How Long It Takes To Know, and Our Song.”
We will gather at Found on a lazy spring Sunday to listen to the album in full, to discuss with the creators, and to marinate in the results of creative collaboration.
