I&I SOUNDSYSTEM {Aurelito & Black Shakespeare Blastin Big Tunes in the Ice Cream Truck}
AURELITO & SHAKESPEARE, creators + operators of the Los Angeles based sound system have been contributing to the City Of Angels' music culture and art scene ever since they joined forces as the dynamic duo, internationally known as I&I SOUND SYSTEM.
Aurelito, originally from the Philippine Islands and Black Shakespeare a Jamaica born native brought I&I SOUND to life in the late 90's, bringing more life and unity to the people of LA. Their true mission was to spread LOVE by bringing music directly to the people. Much of the duo's thirst for unique and creative outlets plus the universal laws guided I&I to create Aurelito's idea and concept of building an original mobile sound system. The two restored and hand painted a 1969 classic ice cream truck and customized it with original artwork, turntables, mixer, amps and speakers - "knowing that music is an occupation that should literally move you".
Their classic vehicle was crowned DESTINY. Since the birth of Destiny, the duo have been spreading positive vibrations far and wide - driving throughout Los Angeles County to the many different barrios, communities, towns, valleys and cities in The City of Angels. The two have been traveling across the West Coast serving sweet musical treats from their patented mobile sound station - setting up and broadcasting at the many different outdoor festivals, art openings, concerts, film screenings, record release and after parties, grade schools, highschools, colleges, community based events, film shoots, private parties, barbecues, parking
lots, street corners, and public parks.

Downstairs Lounge
THE ELECTONES {LIVE JAZZ FUNK}
Silverlake's favorite nu-jazz trio, The Electones are one of LA's best kept secrets, with a large local following and a reputation for shows that make for fabulous nights. Now that the Japanese, those perpetual discoverers, nurturers, and harbingers of the original have discovered them, it may be time to give them up to the rest of the country and the world. Stand advised: when you hear them, you won't forget them. Because while the Electones heady original compositions give plenty to think about, it's what happens from the neck down that really sets them apart. To be blunt, if you can't dance to the Electones... you can't dance. myspace.com/theelectones

Join us this Friday, August 22nd
for an amazing night especially
for the Ladies!
Ladies in FREE b4 11pm!
$2 Vodka Cranberry til 11pm
In the Downtempo Lounge:
Zaki Ibrahim {Canadian Soul} Lumping her in with the rest of the neo-soul and conscious R&B movement does Zaki Ibrahim a disservice.
The Toronto-based singer has a sound that incorporates many more influences and ideas than the legions of Badu wannabes.
Ibrahim pulls rhythms from her African roots as well as deep house and broken beat, along with the R&B grooves she’ll need to break through stateside.
