Cake In 15

Looking for a Missing Employee is the kind of performance that could have easily taken place over coffee and cigarettes in a café on the Beirut Corniche. In the second show of the Out There 2012 at the Walker Art Center, Lebanese artist Rabih Mroué takes the audience on an almost two-hour long meander through [...]

UNTITLED FEMINIST SHOW is glorious. It is ecstatic, roiling, honest, hilarious, heartbreaking and aside from one uproariously grotesque blowjob scene, nigh-on family friendly. The show, by Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company, is a commision by the Walker Art Center and is the first in their four-weekend Out There 2012: Global Visionaries Festival, opening the event [...]

It was a warm and familiar crowd at the Turf Club last night for The Money $hot, mingling and poring over the photos from Erik Hess of Noise Damage and CakeIn15′s own Stacy Schwartz of Staciaann Photography. As the artists busied themselves showing off photo highlights from the past year (or so) with mostly music [...]

It’s all good for music & art. Onward and upward [...]

It’s been a busy couple months for Staciaann and c.a.s., between jobs and classes and the switch from summer to fall to the coming winter, there’s been a lot of work and not a lot of time to post. One of the biggest reasons is that c.a.s. has been in rehearsal for Savage Umbrella‘s newest [...]

Happy Friday everyone. Here’s a quick slice of what we’ve been enjoying this week, in between work, plays and getting occupied. City Pages dropped the annual Picked to Click issue this week, the ritualistic anointing of well connected and/or buzz-y bands with a new title to put on their press releases. This year’s edition was [...]

On Saturday night at the OccupyMN protests, the crowd is centered around a makeshift array of plastic tents, ringed by seated protesters with arms linked and then an outer shell of standing participants. People scatter off and glom on. There are enough people so that when the chanting gets loud, you can hear them from [...]
