EVENT - Friday August 22nd

Jenn Laskey :: RedLight Promotions :: Invites you and a guest to

Friday August 22nd :: Kiss n Grind :: Vikter Duplaix, Garth Trinidad, & Rashida @ CICADA (art deco gem in downtown LA)

Please join RedLight for this very special event, with music by world renowned DJs; Garth Trinidad (KCRW's "Chocolate City"), Vikter Duplaix (Grammy nominated artist), and Rashida (Prince/the Honey Collective) as they produce the legendary "Kiss n Grind" party at dowtown LA's art deco gem Cicada. This venue is truly breaktaking and a true architectural masterpiece. This grand building was constructed in 1928 as the headquarters of one of the most prestigious and expensive haberdasheries in Los Angeles -- Alexander & Oviatt. During the early phases of construction of the Italian Romanesque styled building, Oviatt attended the 1925 Paris Exposition and decided to decorate his building in the new style. When the building was completed, the sheltered lobby forecourt contained over 30 tons of glass by designer Rene Lalique. Many original pieces remain in the panels at the top of the lobby columns. Lalique also designed the mallechort elevator doors, mailboxes, and directories. Cicada's interior retains the elegant art deco fixtures, stair rails, and molded plaster ceiling panels.
