LA 101 at the Gibson Oct. 23
LA Weekly’s LA 101 festival, an all-day celebration of Angeleno music, art and culture, will return for its third installment at Gibson Amphitheatre on October 23rd. The Airborne Toxic Event will headline with additional bands to be announced soon.
The 2011 edition of LA 101 will once again have an outdoor stage and festival area in addition to the amphitheatre’s indoor main stage. The festival area will feature art exhibits, food kiosks, vendor booths and much more.
Tickets go on sale Friday, August 5h at 10 AM. They will be available at LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster.com, at select Live Nation and Ticketmaster retail outlets plus via Charge-By-Phone (800.745.3000).
Los Angeles' The Airborne Toxic Event have earned their reputation as an aggressive touring act, known for playing more than 350 dates in support of their 2008 acclaimed debut album release. In addition to the live show, the band will be performing on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday, September 30th. The band have already played on The Tonight Show earlier this year, as well as having appeared on CBS's The Late Show With David Letterman, Conan, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS's Last Call With Carson Daly.
All At Once was released in May on Island/Def Jam to resounding praise. BBC calls it "a crushing classic," while SPIN says it is "the rock'n'roll equivalent of a tear-soaked novella." This is joined by a choir of praise from the band's hometown of Los Angeles, with KCRW calling the album "passionate, dynamic, anthemic...their expansive sound is too large to be contained." "Changing" the album's first single was a juggernaut at alternative radio, landing at #4 on the format's chart.

"My first work began from a ball of Silk Yarn, and an interest in the Silk Worm process. For centuries Coiling has been used for practical purposes. Why not use this technique as Wearable Art?" Wanda Matjas. The Egyptians, Native Americans, Africans and Asians used the ancient technique of Coiling for making baskets. Wanda has entwined the coiling technique with her love of silk and other fibers to create her fabulous necklaces. Her interest in silk yarn, lead her to find out about the Silk Worm Story. In her thirst for knowledge, she traveled to China to a visit Silk Factory.
THIS MONTH'S WORKSHOP: AUG 21 (ONE DAY)

MORNING PROGRAM 10:30 - NOON: WANDA MATJAS "FROM THE ANCIENT ART OF COILING TO THE ARTISTIC DESIGNS OF TODAY"
"My first work began from a ball of Silk Yarn, and an interest in the Silk Worm process. For centuries Coiling has been used for practical purposes. Why not use this technique as Wearable Art?" Wanda Matjas. The Egyptians, Native Americans, Africans and Asians used the ancient technique of Coiling for making baskets. Wanda has entwined the coiling technique with her love of silk and other fibers to create her fabulous necklaces. Her interest in silk yarn, lead her to find out about the Silk Worm Story. In her thirst for knowledge, she traveled to China to a visit Silk Factory.
