Dave Klemencic

Like clockwork

Modern Groove Syndicate will be performing at Bogart’s on Lombardy St. in Richmond for the last two Mondays of March. I’ll be featured on projector both nights, and the band may continue this weekly residency into April. More details to be announced.

The Future Squad keeps pulling it together every Wednesday night at Emilio’s at Meadow and Broad St. in Richmond. I’ve been walking several fences with the band, working alternately on the projector and drawing tablet and keyboards. Last week saw the first attempted use of both a lighting rig and mixer and drawing tablet simultaneously. A bit much to concentrate on but it could certainly work.

Turning the tide…

With March just around the corner, a lot of new things are coming up. The Riverview Gallery in Portsmouth, VA will be featuring my work for the month of March. The show opens from 5-8 p.m. on March 3. The following night, the Benevento Russo Duo will be appearing at the Peppermint Beach Club in Virginia Beach. This will be my first date with the Duo since their performance at Starr Hill last November in Charlottesville.

In the meantime, the machine is up and running and I’ll be performing with Modern Groove Syndicate on Monday at Bogart’s and the following Saturday at Cary St. Cafe. Existor will be opening the Cary St. show, and I’ll also be performing with the Southside band Wednesday night at Emilio’s.

Thanks to Undr8ed for opening Existor’s show last night at Emilio’s. A lively crowd made the night fun to be a part of. Existor will be taking the beach by storm this weekend, performing at Wilmington’s Palm Room tonight and a private party on Ocean Isle tomorrow. Check them out if you’re in NC.

Tonight!

Come out to Bogart’s in Richmond and check out Modern Groove Syndicate. Show starts around 10, I’ll be projecting drawings while the band plays. Cheap food and drinks all night.

I’ve just finished a new edition of prints, 22 images representing my recent painting and projection efforts. The prints are 8”x10” or 8”x12” printed on photo paper, very durable and vibrant.
They are available at my shows and online, and are $15 each. Larger prints or a full set of prints are available. Email artlabgoon@hotmail.com for details or ordering information.

This week!

Wednesday, I’ll be supporting the Southside Future Squad at Emilio’s.
Their upbeat jazz, funk and dance tunes will help get you through hump day.
Friday, the Alan Parker Group, an amalgamation of the Rex/Saxsmo Quintet, will be appearing at Fusion, with Tim Turner, an excellent tenor sax player scheduled to appear with the band. I’ll be there too.

Modern Groove Syndicate is playing a show at Cary St. Cafe this Saturday, however I am not scheduled to accompany them on visuals due to the size restrictions of the venue.

2-Night Stand

December 2 and 3, the quintet featuring Rex Richardson, James Gates, Howard Curtis, Randall Pharr and Alan Parker will be performing at Fusion, 109 S. 12 St. in downtown Richmond. I’ll be appearing alongside them with wacom tablet in hand, projecting visual goodness for the concert-goers.

Images from the last Fusion show can be seen here.

Do the Duo

On Wednesday, November 16 at 9:00 p.m. I will be appearing with the Benevento Russo Duo at Starr Hill in Charlottesville. I’ll be backing the organ and drums team with a mixture of improvised projected drawings and pre-worked material. It should be a hit.
