Mixed Greens<\/em> returns this month with a new date, but you can expect the same fresh, diverse music, brilliant performance art and thought-provoking video installations you’ve come to expect at AFP events.\u00a0 Plus,\u00a0 The Paper Box<\/a> is in the coolest neighborhood in Brooklyn and the tacos can’t be beat!<\/p>\n

What more can you ask for on a Saturday night?<\/p>\n

Our original opening band for the evening, The Disappointment<\/em> have another commitment, but El Pueblo<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>has been added to the ticket.\u00a0 They’re a fantastic reggae, dub band (latin and jazz influences) who are known for their powerful performances.\u00a0 We are sure El Pueblo<\/a> will get the night started properly.<\/p>\n

Not walking the line between na trapeze, epic-symphonica, and electropunk, the music duo Muj<\/strong> is a mish-mash of musical styles.\u00a0 In their performances, they are known for playful improvisations and unexpected intense instrumentations. Muj<\/a> segues seamlessly from ferocious, soaring guitar jams to moving melodic departures. They are now working on a feature-length documentary including an original soundtrack.<\/p>\n

When The Coffin Daggers<\/strong> take the stage, get ready for an all out assault on your senses. A staple on the New York live music scene,\u00a0 The Coffin Daggers<\/a> forge a new sound that will both overwhelm and delight the senses.\u00a0The NY based surf-punk, instrumental rock band has released a full length album\u00a0 and two singles to critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

The super-talented, creative, architect, performance artist Caridad Sola<\/strong> has rightfully become the resident performance artist for Mixed Greens, and with each stunning performance Caridad<\/a> explores a broad range of social and cultural subject matter. During her last performance a young man (photo below) was so enthralled by her performance that he decided he wanted to be a part of it.\u00a0 As he began to crawl toward the large tub of gold liquid, he slowly removed his clothing.<\/p>\n

Also performing at our August 25th event is the very talented, Sindy Butz.<\/strong> Sindy<\/a> is a Berlin based visual and performance artist who is currently residing in New York City. Her\u00a0work is influenced by social and cultural Anthropology studies, Moral- Philosophy and Spiritual Work. <\/em><\/p>\n

Our video installation for our August event will feature the work of filmmaker, photographer Scott Nyerges<\/strong>. His video work has been shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Scott’s work<\/a> has been featured at several AFP events and we’re very happy to be featuring his work on August 25th.<\/p>\n

Flying in from L.A. to perform at Mixed Greens<\/em> is DJ\/Producer Elliot Dehoyos<\/strong>. Elliot<\/a> is an excellent DJ who currently spins at his monthly Tribe party in L.A. and hosts his weekly internet radio show by the same name.\u00a0 We’re sure he’ll bring his best when he gets on the decks at The Paper Box.<\/p>\n

<\/strong> AFP\u2019s Founder & Director is also a DJ in the NYC underground dance music scene.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gatto<\/a> spins a regular monthly gig on Montreal\u2019s Techno.fm and is currently honing his production skills. In the past, he’s shared the decks with such greats as Derrick Carter, Josh Wink, Charles Webster and many more. Frank is the resident DJ for the Mixed Greens<\/em> events and promises to bring in top talent each month.<\/p>\n
