I was on Facebook and came across a link to the screening for “Kid Creole and His Coconuts” by Adriana Kaegi at the Chelsea Art Museum. I remember dancing around to “Endicott” and the spicy “Que Pasa/Me no Pop I”, my Coati Mundi favorite. My cousin Fatima and I would do some crazy salsa moves to that one and ham it up Coati style! Later on in the 90′s I would become friends with coconut Cheryl Poirier. She always had outrageous stories from their world tours and adventures but she never mentioned her affair with August, married to Adriana. I was slightly embarrassed to find out at the screening this delicate detail. Read the rest of this entry →

What was filled with fans but felt like a sauna? The Twin Sister record release party at Glasslands this past Friday. What is it about extreme temperature conditions when I go to see Twin Sister? The first time I saw them live, I’m honored to say, was when they played at my birthday party/photography exhibit in January of 2009 at Superfine Brooklyn. It was their first time playing together as Twin Sister and it was the coldest day of the Winter. The next time I saw them was a year later at Cameo, another record cold and some hail. Friday night Glasslands was a wave of atomic heat. Read the rest of this entry →
