Bad Bunny, The Most Spooktacular Halloween Party
On Saturday, October 29, I attended Bad Bunny, a Halloween art and music party at Café Lura located in Logan Square promoted by Fuel. I heard about these Halloween festivities through David Rossman-Mallow also known as DJ Nosmo. David is a fellow AEMM graduate student and like me, is interested in music business. The event featured The Art Noir Collective that included art by Ewa, Kacper, Kasia and Columbia’s very own Alex Collindres and Holley McConnell. It was so great to have a group of AEMMers pulling together to hype this event.

Amon Tobin is Changing The Live Performance Experience
To build the integrity of the album and hype the tour, Amon Tobin worked with V Squared Labs and Leviathan to build an onstage set that would be used to enhance the concert experience. The show features this massive multi-dimensional 3D mini-city/dwelling structure that is 25 feet x 14 feet x 8 feet. There is a trippy mesmerizing visual effect that plays across the large cubic structure. Like the Wizard of Oz, Amon runs his city from a hidden mini-pod like structure.
