Extra, Extra!!! Modlins to play Museum of Contemporary Art, La Jolla!!!!

... didn't we say we'd be loading up on all age stuff for you folks. we're playing a daytime show on Sunday, April 13th from 2-5pm at the La Jolla branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (MCASD) . this will be a family event for their MCASD soundwaves exhibit. this day specifically is an extention of that exhibit tuned more towards families, you can read a little blip about it here.



Specifically, we'll be playing 2 sets (2:30pm and 3:30pm) in honor of this "music meets the arts" event. tell your friends, tell your families. if you haven't been to the MOCA in la jolla, it's definitely worth checking out, if not for us, for yourselves.

here's a brief description on the event from the MCASD website:

Sound has played a significant role in the development of modern and contemporary art, from the visual references of Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian in the early 20th-century to the aural experimentations of Nam June Paik and John Cage in the 1960s.

Soundwaves: The Art of Sampling looks at a specifically late 20th-century manifestation of the conjunction of art and sound, and features artists in MCASD’s collection, such as Tim Bavington, Celeste Boursier-Mougenot, Sean Duffy, Julio Cesar Morales, Dario Robleto, and Steve Roden, who appropriate the musical process of sampling in their work, either through the incorporation of found sound or through visual and material references.
