Rebel Rebel: Grace Mitchell with WARGIRL + KCRW DJ Valida
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
Celebrate the Hammer’s summer exhibitions with four nights of free live concerts and KCRW DJs in the museum’s courtyard. Food and cash bar. Galleries open until 9 p.m.
GRACE MITCHELL
Grace Mitchell is a force to be reckoned with. At only 19 years old she has already made a name for herself in the industry as a genre bender from her hit “NOLO and now her smash single “Cali God.”
In her own words she says: “My name is Grace. My music is loud. I like everything, and my music does too.”
WARGIRL
WARGIRL plays "third world garage pop". The band are all natives to L.A. and Long Beach with exception of their Ecuadorian percussionist. Their sound is based around percussion with essentially two drummers. This makes for danceable, jammy grooves firmly rooted in Latin music and Afrobeat, with nods to later Clash, The Upsetters and hopefully some Sade.
