Studio 1 shuts down
tomorrow
A LITTLE more than two years after first opening its doors, downtown art gallery/performance space Studio 1 will close for good tomorrow night.It seems fitting that the final promoter to throw a party there is Kavet the Catalyst, whose monthly "Trip the Lights" would draw a steady stream of underground hip-hop fans to the area.
Tomorrow night, members of Los Angeles group The Visionaries will be on hand to send Studio 1 out in style.
Key Kool, LMNO and Writers Block will be joined by DJ Westafa and local acts Nomasterbacks, Emirc, Creed, and the Audible Lab Rats. DJs Skids and Oliver Twist will represent on the decks alongside Kavet as well. Tickets are $15 at the door for those 18-and-over.
