Zai’s rockin’ drawings! Song Ming’s rockin’ CDs!
Laneway Festival is only happening over the next weekend, but The Substation’s already in music mode. Right now, there are two unrelated but complementary music-centric/related showcases: Ang Song-Ming’s Sonic Visions and Zai Kuning and Shaiful’s Singular Drone Box. Both are featuring some gigs over the coming two weekends (tonight for instance, Ang’s “hosting” a listening party where they’ll be playing The Flaming Lips’ rare experimental four-channel album Zaireeka; and last night, Zai’s Amino Acid Orchestra also performed at their exhibition’s opening). As for the ongoing exhibitions, it’s a good two-in-one deal. ***
