Spotlights
w/ Vampyre
at The Mothlight
Sunday July 21st
Doors 8pm
Tickets: $10adv, https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spotlights-tickets-60771427977

Spotlights is the Brooklyn-based married couple of Mario and Sarah Quintero.

In Spotlights, the Quinteros summon a supreme sound, equally heavy and dreamy. A tar-pit sludge-rock foundation is blanketed by layers of shimmering shoegaze. Their debut full length TIDALS was released on Crowquill Records in the spring of 2016 as a follow up to the synth laden, doom-pop EP, Demonstration. Tidals’ songs rock hard and memorably, bringing to mind hints of bands, from Failure to My Bloody Valentine to Godflesh to Smashing Pumpkins and beyond.

Spotlights was handpicked by Deftones to support the band on three weeks of its summer U.S. tour in August of 2016. Select dates included support from 90’s post-hardcore, greats, Refused. They quickly followed up with a second national run in September with If These Trees Could Talk.

In December 2016 they self released the 3 song “odds and ends” EP, SPIDERS, featuring a cover of the song She Spider by MEW, and a remix of Joseph, the closing track on TIDALS, done by Aaron Harris (Isis/Palms). The Spiders EP served as the perfect way to hold fans over while the band continued work on their new record.

When it came time to record the the follow up full length to TIDALS, the Quinteros didn’t have to look far to find the perfect producer. “Choosing to work with Aaron [Harris] on our new record was a no brainer for us. We get along great and he completely understands where we are coming from musically and knows just how to capture that.” says Mario. Sarah adds “Plus, he’s an incredible drummer and we tricked him into playing on four of the songs!”. The three of them spent a week in Los Angeles at Palmquist Studios, putting together one of the most dynamic, and emotive collection of songs to date.

The new album, SEISMIC was released on Ipecac Recordings on October 6th 2017, flowing a massive 12 week North American tour with Melvins.

Spectacle

BIOGRAPHY
In the winter of 2015, a striking new voice formed in the heart of Denver’s electronic music scene. Spectacle’s orchestral instrumentation (violin, synth, guitar) quickly made the duo stand out amongst the crowd; each performance being an experience that is refreshingly original. Hard hitting drops, alongside an afro-cuban feel make for an irresistible groove and a heady tropical soundscape. Beautiful soaring violin melodies, and deep rhythmic bass synth lines drive each musical passage through every member of the audience. Band members Michael Mahan and Jessica Borth work in unity gripping the crowd for a show that is both mesmerizing and captivating from start to finish. Spectacle brings their audience through an innovative and dynamic journey show after show after show..

BRAND ABSTRACT
The Spectacle Duo’s unique instrumentation brings a multi-dimensional sound not typically heard in the electronic music scene. Spectacle breaks the mold of traditional EDM by incorporating Jazz, Funk, Classical, Afro-Cuban beats, and live instrumentation performance into an intricate masterpiece of harmonic styles and landscapes. The Trio, most commonly described as refreshing and exciting, offers its audience a new hybrid of genres that span all ages.

There’s more than Chunky Monkey and New York Super Fudge Chunk in downtown Asheville’s Ben & Jerry’s this summer.

Art created by Vance Elementary School fifth grade students of art educator Robbie Lipe is now on display on the brick walls opposite the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The exhibit depicts the students’ interpretation of the artist Kehinde Wiley and the contemporary portraits he creates inspired by traditional Baroque paintings. It will be featured through the end of the summer.

“Ben & Jerry’s is excited about showcasing art from the community inside our scoop shop,” said general manager Chris Carter. “Making use of our walls to show what local artists are creating complements our social mission — to be actively involved in the places we live and do business. I hope this is the first of many art exhibits on our walls.”

Carter gave all the credit for the exhibit to Ms. Lipe, who teaches kindergarten through 5th-grade students at Vance Elementary. She was named the North Carolina Arts Educators Association “Art Educator of the Year” in 2017-2018.

Ben & Jerry’s is located at 19 Haywood Street. Current hours are Monday-Thursday 12 pm to 10 pm; Friday 12 pm – 11 pm; Saturday 11:30 am – 11 pm; Sunday 11:30 am – 10 pm.

For more information, call Carter at 310-601-6247.

Hobby horsing is the “safe, fun and affordable way to ride horses”. Riders participating in competitive hobby horsing – a toy consisting of a stick with a model horse head – perform and mimic the movements and technicality of horseback riding in the disciplines of show jumping and dressage, then translate that to their stick horse, where judges will mark and score their rounds. For participants competing in show jumping, courses are set with tricky combinations and patterns, similar to the show jumping competitions seen at TIEC throughout the year. Individuals must register by noon on event day.

Hi there. This is David, the CEO of Embody Healing, LLC. I’m doing an informal sit down style presentation about supporting intersex people with herbs and oils and I’d love if you could come. I promise this presentation will have useful information for ALL bodies- male, female, trans male, trans female, AND intersex people.

This is an informal presentation with no power point and few expectations. The goal is to help people learn what intersex is and have a basic understanding of some of the ways intersex people can be supported with herbs and oils. I plan to talk to you for about an hour, then take questions and have discussion for about an hour. Obviously we’re not going to go too deep in an informative discussion, but it will be a good introduction to the topics presented. I’ll be basing what I say off of my own experience as an intersex person as well as including the experiences of intersex clients I’ve had so you can understand the variations presented by intersex people. Please come if you’re a practitioner or oils salesperson interested in better helping folks, or simply a person curious about the experience of being intersex.

The layout of the material:
What is intersex and how is it different from male, female, or trans as concerns oils and herbs? (This portion will also be useful for male, female and trans folks- you should all come!) (20 min)
Emotional Needs and Support for Intersex (and trans) People Using Oils (20 min)
Biological Needs of Intersex People and Herbs, Oils, and Supplements (20 min)
Questions and Discussion (about an hour)

This event is donation based.

Hope to see you there!
~~~
Your presenter is an intersex person who has worked in natural health, healing, or medicine since 2008. They are currently the CEO of Embody Healing, LLC, and a holistic practitioner specializing in traditional folk herbalism and spirituality.

Don’t change it…Embrace it!

For any woman who wants to love, is learning to love, or already loves her body. About 90% of women are dissatisfied with their bodies. Instead of trying to change, hide or disassociate from them, which effectively denies women their full personal power, join other women as we reclaim them. Step into your birthright to live in and love your amazing body regardless of shape, weight, or age. It’s a radical act, which is needed. For when sleeping women wake, mountains move.

We won’t ask you to change a thing. That’s part of the problem to begin with. Feel free to go a diet, binge on Oreos, “let yourself go”, join Crossfit, read another self help book, party all night, dye your hair, get plastic surgery, wear heels, grow your pit hair…we don’t care!!! Just be yourself… and reclaim the time, energy and money we as women put into changing ourselves. Imagine what we would do without an internalized corset!!

Five-week series to reclaim your body image & body wisdom:

Week 1: Media, Culture & the Water We Swim in.
Week 2: The Lineage of Shapes, Sizes & Parts.
Week 3: Eating Food: healthism, nourishment, guilt & pleasure.
Week 4: Getting Old: sags, greys, wisdom, wrinkles, regret, & freedom.
Week 5: Cycles: pregnancy, periods, pain, transformation, & power.

Mondays from 6 – 9, starting July 22nd at Jubilee! 46 Wall Street. with Wise Woman Practitioner Jackie Dobrinska

This series offers us a way to acknowledge and potentially recover the juicy, amazing body and the power that lives within it. At the very least, it gives us an opportunity to see how connected we are as women.

(While this topic encompasses all genders, for the sake of this series we are focusing on women who identify as women and have female-hormone based cycles.)

Embark upon a pilgrimage to self-healing during this unique opportunity to practice Yoga Nidra with Indu Arora. We often take more than we give to our body and mind and forget that rest is just as important as action. How often have you consciously paid attention to when your body and mind really need added rest and rejuvenation?

Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice with incredible relevance in the modern world. With an excess of stress, discomfort and uneasiness, we need a vehicle to connect deeply to our true nature, peace, health and self-awareness. This heightened self-awareness helps us to remain detached and calm amidst the chaos within our daily lives. Yoga Nidra provides a path for the rediscovery of our true nature and the many benefits that can be realized from its practice.
