this Monday, July 25 from 6PM is the Opening Reception
for "HUNG" at the gallery of Club Passim

Unnatural axe will be playing, legendary rock photographer Godlis
and the Ramones' artistic director, Arturo
Vega speaking and doing a question and answer thing AND they pull Cynthia
PlasterCaster's cast of Jimi Hendrix's schlong
for us all to see!!! So just HOW big do ya think it is???? Go to Passims'
to see!!! and don't forget that "HANGED" is
at The Zeitgeist Gallery until August 1 and in case you haven't read it
all before: "HUNG" and "HANGED" is artwork by a collection of artists who share
one thing in common above all else. They totally rock. One way or another. The
show includes work by Jayne County Dee
Dee Ramone,John Holmstrom, Niagara,
Arturo Vega, Jon
Langford, Jad and David Fair,
Godlis, and Knox…as well as John
Nokolai and Jon Strymish…so I went
to The Opening at The Zeitgeist and I have to say the paper cutouts by Jad and
David Fair(Half Japanese) are really pretty damned amazing...and presented really
well too! I was also pleasantly surprised by the piece by Niagra, a small, neat
and clean, Warhol-Lichtenstein inspired collage. And, personally, Bunni's photos
were my absolute faves...detached black & whites that do not leave you cold. All
the stuff was really great and you can see it and even more at Passim's....an
awesome round up of rock'n'roll stuff! now what's up?? here's what I got: this
