Pancakes & Booze Art Show w/SandCastle & Goddamnit at RUBA Club May 31

 
When LA’s famous Pancakes & Booze Art Show was originally slated to arrive at the Bookspace a couple years back, it touted a number of reasons to go that went well beyond the whipped cream and maple syrup. And when it ended up being canceled just as quickly as it was slated to arrive, it turned more than one chocolate chip smiley face upside down. But the event has finally found a home at RUBA Club tonight, and will feature the work of over 50 local underground and emerging artists, live body painting, a live art battle, and an all-you-can-eat pancake bar with all the fixins, as well as music. The event will feature the mysterious lo-fi, psych-pop of SandCastle, the new project of Da Comrade! alum Micah Edwards. Also, in just a short amount of time, Goddamnit has managed to find a home at Creep Records with their beer-filled guitar rock anthems. RUBA Club, 416 Green St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – Bill McThrill
