Friends We Love Festival
Friday, January 30 2009
Sly Art vs. Robot City - Soho Loft, New York NY


event description
The first Friends We Love Festival series will converge the worlds of music, film and visual art presented by the Sly Art vs Robot City Soho loft space on January 30th. It will serve as a launch party for the Friends We Love Mixed CD, which was recently released by the Japanese label Toy's Factory. We have six confirmed live performances the following critically acclaimed and international recording artists: like Jose James, Sarah White, Probe dms, Dhundee, Asen James and GAEA. The dance floor will be serviced by some of New York's most sought after DJs - Bobbito Garcia, Waajeed and Moni.

The Soho loft walls will exhibit artwork by The Neocons - a never-before-seen collaboration of three of the City's best-known street artists who will also be creating live pieces throughout the night. The evening wouldn't be complete without the premiere screening of three Friends We Love profiles, a filming station set up to capture the thoughts of our guests and performers as well as two filmmakers who will be documenting the event from beginning to end.

All proceeds from this event will be used for future Friends We Love productions, a self-funded video series exploring the creative process of artists from a wide range of disciplines at different stages in their careers.
