AMI DANG
UNICORNICOPIA
ILYA MONOSOV
Ami Dang melds classical Sitar with haunting vocals and an array of electronic vibrations to produce an unearthly sound that is truly her own. Unicornicopia complements the night with bizarre orchestral arrangements, synthesized plips and plops, and bubble-gum lyrics that bite you before you realize what’s coming. Ilya Monosov tops it off with wintry strings and synths, and maybe even a hurdy-gurdy if we’re lucky…

Previously: I co-founded and edited Arthur Magazine (2002-2008, 2012-13) and curated the three Arthur music festival events (Arthurfest, ArthurBall, and Arthur Nights) (2005-6). Prior to that I was a district office staffer for Congressman Henry A. Waxman, a DJ at Silver Lake pirate radio station KBLT, a copy editor at Larry Flynt Publications, an editor at Mean magazine, and a freelance journalist contributing work to LAWeekly, Mojo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Vibe, Rap Pages, Grand Royal and many other print and online outlets. An extended piece I wrote on Fela Kuti was selected for the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 anthology. In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.
