Description
Art'N'Soul: Still Stoked is a night inspired by the thriving local skateboard culture that celebrates the art/music skateboarding scene. The show is produced by local skater/musician/artist/dj Ray Stevens II aka RS2. He has hand selected a group of friends from the San Jose skateboard world who have a love of skateboarding, music and gift for art. San Jose/Bay Area based artists showcase their paintings, custom silk screened decks, zines and photographs for the night. The psychedelic/abstract/lowbrow/uni-brow work produced by these skaters come directly from the creative skateboard culture. Artists include Lance Dalgart, Yumiko Miyagawa, Zarosh Eggelston, Jeremy Willett and Kristine Taormino. DJ's RS2 and COCO are always willing to rock the party with quality on purpose with every piece of vinyl dropped from punk, funk, dub, metal, soul, hip hop to jazz they spin whatevs. DJ RS2 produces music, has played in seminal skate rock bands and loves Roosevelt skatepark. DJ COCO originates from Yokohama, Japan and has a radio show, is also a gifted artist, has a Martian daddy and can grip tape a skate deck faster than you can tie your shoes. Local skaters Daniel Boyer, Kris Krikava, Josh Blalough, Andrew Mojica, Blake Svenstrom, Fred Ripper, Devin Scott and Jen Valenzuela will be ripping the Art'N'Soul ramps in the parking lot for a demo starting at 7pm.
