A Redditor's band (Martian Horses) is playing at the San Diego Museum of Art this Thursday (08/26/10)

Hello SD Redditors...

My band Martian Horses is playing at the San Diego Museum of Art this Thursday evening (8/26/10), alongside Miss Erika Davies. Martian Horses is a 9-piece post-rock/orchestral band (traditional rock instrumentation with cello, violin, viola, tuba, sax, horn, lap steel, marimba, glockenspiel etc.).

Erika Davies is a Western Swing / Minimalist / Jazz artist.

As far as I know, the gallery will be open as well (currently showing the work of Toulouse-Lautrec among others), so the museum admission price seems to apply to everything.

That was a great show, you and your friends are quite talented. I would have liked to stick around after to meet your cohorts but, the woman was hungry so we had to bounce. Thanks for the heads up, you should definitely post the next time you play.

I'm really glad you came! That was definitely a treat. I'll post again for sure.

Same compliments as above. Wanted to stay longer but girl was hungry.

Excellent sound - filled the room but not overpowering. Keep us posted for upcoming shows and let us know if there is anything we can do to help advertise/spread the word.

Thank you! Playing in the museum felt good. The museum environment was an optimal one for the orchestral instruments.

Our next show will be at The Casbah on September 9th. I'll probably struggle with feeling like a spammer but post the information in r/sandiego anyhow.

Best of luck! I'm recording that night or I'd be there.

If this is just outside at the downtown MOMA, it's a cool place to play. Saw a show there a few years ago.

This one's at Balboa Park. I saw a show at the MOMA a few years ago too...very cool environment to play in. Good luck with recording! Who are you recording - your band?

I've listened to most of the songs on your myspace page and I am impressed, you guys (and gal) have a great sound.

So what's the dress code for this thing? I'm going to try to get a group of friends to go see you guys.

alienproxyOP•

No dress code that I know of. Wear what you'd wear to a museum, I guess. In San Diego I'm sure that includes sandals. I'd go in jeans and a t-shirt if I weren't gong to be on stage.

If you go, make sure you say hello. I haven't yet had the pleasure of being able to say: "A wild Redditor appears!"

I forgot to ask tonight, but tomorrow when we go out, I'll try to convince my friends to go see a band they've never heard of. At a museum. Should be interesting.

If we do meet, I'll also have to explain what reddit is to them.

I'm really excited that you noticed, but I have no idea where to send the gold star sticker.

Who runs sound for that?

alienproxyOP•

I'm not sure, but the show itself is presented by Sezio (sezio.org). They put on a lot of shows, so if you're looking for sound work, it could be a possibility (I honestly don't know).

Couple of questions. 1, Can we just come at 7ish for your show or do we have to be there by 5 for the whole thing? I can't make it that early so this is important. 2, is it free? Not as important, but good to know.

1
alienproxyOP•

You can come at 7, no problem. The shows are not connected in any way except that they're all accessible once you get in.

There is an admission fee, but to be honest I haven't gotten a straight answer on how much it will be. It seems to vary between $4 and $12, depending on the time of entry and on membership. I wish I could tell you more.

ChronicUnderAchiever•

No worries, that's affordable. I'll try and make it.

Ooo, mention "Sezio" at the door and you get a discount.
