Side
Street Projects is turning 16 years old, so we’re doing something
we haven't done in a (very) long time. We're throwing a real party — our
SweetSixteen — a classy/trashy
affair replete with gourmet trailer park soul food & top-shelf booze,
served up at one of Pasadena’s most awe-inspiring Craftsman estates.
Side Street Projects’ SweetSixteen
Saturday, June 7th, 2008 (6pm - 10pm)
Pasadena, California
[ Exact location
divulged to ticket-holders only. ]
Complementing the aforementioned lunacy will be exclusive silent auction
goodies, world-class cosmic bluegrass, and unexpected art happenings.
World-famous artist Catherine Opie is creating a commemorative
print to mark the occasion — a signed edition, limited to 50 prints,
and offered
exclusively to ticket-holders. Incidentally, Ms. Opie's mid-career
retrospective opens this Fall at the Guggenheim.
You may reserve one Catherine Opie print (sight-unseen) for $500. If any
prints remain, they will be available during & after
the party for $1,000.
If you want an Opie print, but can't attend the party, you may acquire one by sponsoring an artist for just $100. Contact us at (626) 798-7774 to find out how.
SweetSixteen
tickets are $100 each and will be held at the door.

Intimate acoustic trio performance by the legendary I
See Hawks in L.A.
"I See
Hawks in L.A., with its songs about watching meteor showers from Angeles
Crest Highway and watching Slash work his way through the Hollywood
scene, L.A.'s premiere country band is also one of the leading chroniclers
of its hometown."
-- LA Times
"The Hawks have updated Southern California country rock. Their
music, driven by the fine steel guitarist Paul Lacques, is sinewy yet
poetic--more nihilistic than decadent, with an urban-desert poetry
all its own."
--The Village Voice
"While paparazzi chase the latest talent free celebrity, a talented,
literate bunch of soulful musicians create honest and wise roots music
for the ages. I See Hawks are indeed one of California's unique treasures."
--
Rockstar & guitar legend Dave Alvin, April 2008
"The driving-force duo of singer Rob Waller and guitarist
Paul Lacques have cooked up one of the most audacious sounds the Golden
State has ever produced."
-- L.A. Weekly
"I See Hawks In L.A. blend country and psychedelia with soaring
three-part harmonies that leave the poseurs of alt-schmaltz dust choked.
These guys are the house band for a revolution that isn't over yet."
- High Times Magazine
"Best Country Artist"
-- 2003 & 2004, L.A. Weekly Music
