3rd Ward says:
It starts with a spark... TheDanger, 3rd Ward, Mister Saturday Night, Blk Market Membership and The Lady Circus are combining forces to bring you an all night exploration of riotous performance, sculpture lit by flames and all-night dj’s nestled within three cavernous warehouses in the heart of Brooklyn. Explore four stages of sound featuring: The forefathers of Electro playing the same stage for the first time: The Egyptian Lover and Afrika Bambaataa. With their defining roles in both hip-hop and electro, these men are legends in music and on this night they pass that passion on to a new generation of sound selectors including: Mister Saturday Night with Justin Carter, Blk Market Membership with Taimur and Fahad, dj Fflood, Jesse Mann, and a sunrise ceremony set from Zemi 17. Before touring to Burning Man, the infamous Image Node is bringing a dome full of sight and sound featuring live ambient trip-hop by Autophage, experimental downtempo from Borne, Ezekiel Honig, FutureBen and DJ Tinseltown with visuals by the Housewives' Guide To Anatomy, Fuzzy Bastard plus special guests. Experience acts of fire, fame and fury featuring: the daredevil beauties of The Lady Circus, climbable sculpture from The Animus Arts Collective, out-sized sculpture lit by flames and built by Rosanna Scimeca, the 109 piece robotic gamalan orchestra built by Aaron Taylor Kuffner and the Vermont invasion including an all lady jug band Lady Tub, the Mickey Western Band, the throaty piano blues of Anna Pardenik and the Vermont Joy Parade.
This is either your last blowout before the playa, or a pretty decent replacement, if you can't make it to Burning Man this year. Either way, Life of Fire is shaping up to be a killer party. A ton of bona fide party animals have teamed up for the endeavor: TheDanger, 3rd Ward, Mister Saturday Night, Blk Market Membership, and the Lady Circus all present Egyptian Lover and Afrika Bambaataa (playing for the first time ever on the same stage!), plus resident DJs from each crew. Three huge warehouses and four sound stages should keep you dancing and exploring till at least dawn; interactive sculpture comes from the Animus Arts Collective, fire-dancers and -eaters are from Lady Circus, and you can thank Aaron Taylor Kuffner for the 109-piece robot gamelan orchestra.
