Autolux performing “Highchair” on KCRW
AUTOLUX—Local fave and avant-garde rock trio Autolux has earned acclaim for its unconventional, “otherwordly” soundscapes and eclectic sound. Dark and desolate yet sensual and colorful in mood, the band’s songs have allured fans and critics alike. After a world tour in support of its much-anticipated sophomore album, Transit Transit, Autolux headline at the Skirball for this special hometown show.
Superhumanoids: Hey Big Bang
SUPERHUMANOIDS—The acclaimed indie-pop quartet makes dreamy pop that shouts summery ’60s harmonies, garage rock’s raw tonality, slick new-wave electronics, and the adventurous dissonance of ’90s indie rock. Earlier this year, Superhumanoids released its second EP, Parasite Paradise.
DJ ANTHONY VALADEZ—LA-based DJ/producer and visual artist Anthony Valadez can usually be found in the studios at KCRW, mixing future beats, soulful keys, and tomorrow’s sample sounds. But tonight, don’t miss Valadez spinning his “magic” between sets at the Skirball.
MASTER MYSTERY—Don’t miss a rare screening of Master Mystery, in which Harry Houdini stars as Justice Department agent Quentin Locke. Locke must investigate a powerful cartel protected by both a robot and a gas weapon known as “The Madagascar Madness.” None of Houdini’s serials exist in their entirety, but Master Mystery remains the most complete. Feel free to drop in or stay for the entire screening. Directed by Burton L. King. (1920, 238 min. Screened from DVD).
Also enjoy after-dark access to the exhibitions Houdini: Art and Magic and Masters of Illusion: Jewish Magicians of the Golden Age; encounters with strolling magicians performing sleight of hand and other dazzling close-up magic; and a no-host bar, featuring signature cocktails.
