The last time I went to Cinespace it was for Lady Sovreign and the opening act was so horrible I downed two martinis and fled the dance floor, while my friend sent a rage-riddled email to the promoters of the party at 3am. Hopefully this time won't be as dissapointing with bands The Like and Army Navy. Junior Sanchez though? Hopefully the promoters are back from Sundance and ready to rage rather than offhandedly feisting big names on a tough-love enamoured crowd. We shall see...

This release is amazing. KCRW is giving it loads of airplay, especially the first and last tracks. Sergio Mendez is amazing and this should be a good event. I've never been to the Red Buddha Lounge, wonder what that's all about. It sounds like the type of place that was cool in 2001 when "lounge music" and "nu jazz" were populi.
