Open-Air Garage Show: featuring musical guests the Photographic and experimental
films by Greg King
In conjunction with First Friday Trolley Hop
21c Museum: Gallery 4
Located on 7th street in between Main and Market
Friday June 6, 9pm
Free and open to the public
Jumpstart your summer with an old school garage party at 21c. Drop by after Trolley
Hop as 21c opens its exhibition gallery doors to the downtown air and lets the ambient
sounds and visual images of the Photographic fill the urban streets. Immediately
following the band, catch several short films by New York based artist Greg King.
Stop by and enjoy the best kind of beer - cold and cheap - or, for the concert goer
with a more refined palate, a fine Rosé, the garage party wine du jour. The show
is free and open to the public.
About the Photographic
An instrumental rock duo native to Louisville, KY, the Photographic incorporates
original video projected in between the duo’s performance. Their music and images
build into a dynamic crescendo, exploding into the ears and eyes of listeners and
onlookers. Once their performance peaks to its highest point, the Photographic's
music thunders out as the video fades, leaving the audience with an alluring satisfaction.
The Photographic's debut album, Pictures of a Changing World, was released on March
11th, 2008 on Galaxia Records. Formed in 2003, the group’s members are Jamey See
Tai and Chad Blevins with video projections by Jesse See Tai.
"It's an experience as cinematic as it is sonorous... But most striking is that
The Photographic seem to have accomplished, in the most subtle of ways, what contemporaries
like Explosions in the Sky and Do Make Say Think have not — they've bridged the
rift between old form and new." -PAPER Magazine
