Oktech: The Festival of Excess

Artwork by #FigureM

 Is everybody in? Good. Now that I have your attention...

This SATURDAY, 4/5/2014 at The Stage Miami, Telekinetic Walrus and The Pride of Ions, Afrobeta and the lovely cyborg, Phaxas, will be bringing the funk back into our lives for a fun-filled night of Excess. 

Oktech: The Festival of Excess will be celebrating the merger of two powerful forces! William 'Cito' Vivas AKA Faun 5000, has joined Telekinetic Walrus in efforts to help destroy the darkness. Thus, in commeration of such a noble deed...we're throwing him the gala of all galas to celebrate.

TKW will be releasing an all instrumental EP (with an intro into the lore of Faun 5000 by The Time-Zoo Keeper himself) and the first 100 guests will receive a free copy upon entry! You will also be served up some delicious, homemade (with love), blueberry pancakes by Faun 5000's friends, just for being guests of the King.

You don't want to miss it! Be sure to follow this link here to soundcloud for a special compilation release with a track from each project!

UPDATE

 

The Miami New Times: Crossfade has deemed Oktech: The Festival of Excess as one of

Miami's Ten Best Things to Do Under $10 This Weekend

Although they got a few details wrong, still an awesome and much appreciated mention! 10$ entry. Doors open at 9pm! Don't lose an opportunity to get your home-made blueberry pancakes, just find the Räh Threads booth! 

 UPDATE #2

Here are a few behind the scenes photos of our fauns and faunas getting ready for their debut performance. You'll also see a few photos of the make-up aftermath. There will be a third update to this post with the video that we make from the festival! Yes, those are hair horns. It took our huge team to make this event a success and I think it's safe to say that we had a great time.

 

 Take a listen to the EP "The Instrumental Adventures of Faun 5000, King of Faunzellia" here. 

Read this nice  Q & A article/interview of Telekinetic Walrus, posted on the Crossfade blog by the Miami New Times, here. 

J-Dude made an awesome video and backed it with the new EP . You should watch it, here.  

Also, the Miami New Times came by the Cave for one of the rehearsals for Oktech and had an interview with a couple of our favorite friends, Afrobeta. Check out the interview here.

#SHIKANY New Restaurant to open in Wynwood, April 1st 2014

Last week I was sent to Wynwood by #EaterMiami to shoot a new spot called #Shikany. It was a really interesting place to photograph with it's industrial metals but then had a sense of vintage flair with it's patterned walls and chandeliers. The outside porch area was by far my favorite scene though. On a nice and breezy South Florida day, the colors were vibrant and the furniture was modern and clean. Here are some screen captures of the article but if you click on this link you will be directed to Eater.

#EATERMIAMI Eater Scene at #Andiamo Pizza on Biscayne

This week is #pizzaweek for us at Eater and when my lovely editor, Ana Heretoiu, called and asked me what I thought would be a fun place to shoot for this weeks scene, I could really only suggest one place: Andiamo's Brick Oven Pizza.

I grabbed some screen captures of the article, but you can also just click this link which will direct you to the Eater site. In my opinion, this place is definitely impressive. They have a genuine staff (shout out to Momo) and their food is delicious, what more could you want? Check out the photos, there were so many pizzas in that oven, the place was packed that night! I didn't stick around to eat the pizza but I'll be going back sometime really soon. :P
