A group of people gathered in Rochester at the
PEARL-y gates and witnessed the glory of the one they call
Ludachrist. On May 3rd, 2008, the savior of mashup came and blessed them with holy beats, glorious rhythms, and miraculous talent. Those in attendance became Ludachristians, and they set out to spread the word of
Ludachrist. Once the holy hymn had come to an end, the masses' ears rang, heartbeats pounded, and faces glowed from having seen the light. They yearned for more of his mashup wisdom. And as
Ludachrist was leaving the temple, his disciples came to him and axed, "What will be the sign of your second coming?"
Ludachrist answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah of Mashup,' and will deceive many. But beware my brethren, because talk is cheap."
Friends, followers, believers, and Ludachristians, the time is upon us; the second coming of
Ludachrist. On the night of Friday June 18th, year 2010 of our Lord, He shall return to the same temple, this time bringing with him a fresh and furious barrage of aural pleasure. We here at
RIPROC are his greatest disciples and witnesses to the true Messiah, and suggest you arrive at 7pm to reserve a pew, as there is limited capacity at the temple of
PEARL.
To show love and gratitude to
Ludachrist and all of his followers, we will be offering a variety of holy wines, rejuvenating
Vital Energy beverages and decadent chocolates free for the tasting. An art gallery will cover the walls and serve as stained glass windows for the evening; windows into the hearts and minds of our local artists whose talents reflect the creative force of Rochester. Among the artisans are Rags, Ryan O Rock, Chicken Bone, Giancarlo Lipasio, Kathleen Hope, Brian Loughner, Eduardo Quintana, and Rob Swierczek. We will also be blessed with the live art of Crook FUA, John Bertolone, E Moore, and Some1 working on the next biggest thing since The Creation of Adam right in front of our very eyes.
Leading up to the Revelation, many other live bands and DJ's will entertain the congregation with a variety of music, which guarantees to ignite your soul and move your feet. From the funk-fusion hymns of Subsoil, the electro-jam beats of the Manhattan Project to the neo-funk mashups of Lifeforms, you will see the blood, sweat and tears of some of Rochester's' finest musicians. Other disciples of
Ludachrist who will be warming up the one's and two's include; Ezra Mechamber, Disko & Voins, Darkwave, Mario Bee, Attika, Skanntron, Suspence, Scutti, Turntable Terrorwritsts, Mishka V, Rainbow Kandicaine, Jeff Clarkson, Arcanum, MESA, and A-KO. Sermons will be hosted by Gillateen, DLS, and HRVI WHO?. In an effort to keep both your ears as well as your eyes entertained, we will have stunning live visuals presented by The NGB, and VJ PLZ throughout the night.
Smell something good? That would be the scent of the succulent Ludwig Von Pig (aka Louie) in attendance to support
SLOW ROAST RECORDS; a label that includes some of America's top notch DJ's such as Kill the Noise, Craze, Klever, and Senor Stereo. This little piggy has been to more than just the market; he has danced his curly tail all over America at some of the biggest music festivals including Coachella and Starscape. So get your claim to fame and snap a photo of yourself with Louie, and head over to
SLOW ROAST RECORDS to grab a t-shirt and keep up with what's cookin' at one of the spiciest, fresh labels on the rise.
Entrance to the temple of
PEARL on this evening will require a $10 pre-sale ticket ($10 surcharge if you're under 21), which can be purchased through Thread, Krudco, and any of the artists on the lineup. Please keep in mind that in addition to a ticket, admission will require you to have spent a minimum of 18 years on the planet Earth. Tickets will be more the night of the show.
