On Thursday, November 6, visit YBCA at 701 Mission Street for free performances by Erica Dawn Lyle and Brontez Purnell, as well as free gallery admission to "Bay Area Then" and "Makibaka."
Multihyphenate artist Erica Dawn Lyle plays electric guitar with a wild virtuosity. Her decades of experience playing in art-damaged punk bands include shows and records with the bands Bikini Kill and Onion Flavored Rings, and collaborations with Kim Gordon and The Linda Lindas. For her performance at YBCA, she’ll harness this energy and intention into extended improvisations for the electric guitar.
Author, choreographer, filmmaker, and artist Brontez Purnell got his start playing in punk bands like Panty Raid and as a “go-go boy” with Gravy Train!!!!, before exploring his own tangled, relentless creative voice as a solo artist. Come enjoy his catchy, genre-fusing performance as part of the "Bay Area Then" music series. Galleries will be open 5–9pm, and music starts at 7pm.
