The Creepy Creeps and Robert Plant – together at last!

Robert Plant saw The Creepy Creeps perform and loved ’em. OK so we know a lot of garage and punk fans don’t like Zep but no matter what you think of his old band, he does have pretty good taste in music – – thus he asked the legendary Creepy Creeps to open two Southern California shows for him – and here they are:

June 8: ROBERT PLANT and the BAND OF JOY with THE CREEPY CREEPS – at Copley Symphony Hall, San Diego

June 9: ROBERT PLANT and the BAND OF JOY with THE CREEPY CREEPS – at the San Manuel Casino

The Creepy Creeps are currently working on a new 45 which should be out in time for Tiki Oasis 11!

The Classic Zombie!

The Zombie is the benchmark for the classic exotic cocktail, and the drink that lit the fuse of the mid-century Polynesian craze in America when it debuted in 1934.  This complex and powerful drink is a medley of bold flavors that takes the drinker on a trip to the islands.  You just can’t call you bar a tiki bar without serving up a great Zombie.  At Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco, where they take pride in offering 75 historic exotic libations, owner Martin Cate serves this drink made right with all fresh squeezed fruit juices, the correct & historically accurate rums, and housemade ingredients.  Martin Cate gives a cocktail seminar each year at the West Coast’s largest gathering of tiki enthusiasts, Tiki Oasis in San Diego, CA. He’ll be back this year with another interactive & informative seminar for hundreds of guests at this premier tiki event August 18-21.

Classic Zombie 1934 by Don the Beachcomber

.75 oz fresh lime juice
.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice (white or pink)
.25 oz cinnamon syrup
.5 oz falernum
1.5 oz gold Puerto Rican rum
1.5 oz aged Jamaican rum

1 tsp grenadine

An interview with Lydia Emily and peek at a Street-Art Paste Up

An interview with Lydia Emily

Note: Lydia Emily has just been booked to appear on Radio Alchymy, KPFK, Pacifica Radio, next Wednesday night/ Thursday am May 19th.KPFK will be raffling off five of Lydia Emily’s Winston Churchill pieces.

www.kpfk.org/programs/136-radioalchymy.html

 

 

Q: You were at one time a folk artist who painted scenes of a personal nature about yourself, family and friends – what was it that inspired you to veer into politicts using photorealism and mixed media?

Lydia Emily: I started doing political street art as I began to understand that people like me do not really have a voice. I am not rich, a celebrity, or a politician. And Galleries generally don’t show political art. So I needed to find a way to put myself out there as a public witness to what goes on and often goes unnoticed. On the street I am an equal, so that’s where you’ll find me.

Q: Who are you speaking to, why the urge to share your works with the public and what would you like your viewers to take with them after viewing one of your pieces?

LE: I want people to really witness what goes on in the world. Witness means to acknowledge what happens, not just to see it go by on your twitter or facebook. As a witness you are participating in the culture, not just standing on the curb. I am a witness. And I hope that my being a witness will make other people think seriously about what is going on around them, and what they can do to influence it.

Q: What mediums do you use on the original pieces – what size are they? Do you work on one at a time or do you have numerous pieces going simultaneously?

LE: I use the Sunday New York Times only for background. I cut it up and glue it to the canvas, then oil paint on canvas. I only use acrylic for highlighting the street copies. The sized range anywhere from 15 inches to 40 inches square. I work on one piece at a time.

Q: Who currently inspires you the most?

LE: Winston Churchill and the Dalai Llama. I have their birth dates tattooed on my back.
