PC/MM (Joey and I) will be rockin out tonight at the Lilypad in Inman square, at a show produced in collaboration by Golden Arrows (Alex Hage and Nerissa Cooney) and Pajaritos (Sara Skolnick and Ernesto Morales).  This will be great.  Last time Pajaritos and PC/MM performed together, Alex Hage of Golden Arrows was there and totally upped the excitement/immersion of the event with dancefloor facepainting.  I can’t even imaging whats in store for tonight.

So on the lineup alongside PC//MM and Pajaritos will be DJing by Oxycontinental (Ricardo De Lima) and live visuals by Arthur (Nickolas Chelyapov).   Ricardo is the force behind downtown’s DIY esque venue Spectacle- though I haven’t been there it, it was sister/brother/cousin venues with HMSPutnam when Putnam was around, so its mad cool in my books, and by transitivity Oxycontinental will throw down a good show.  I’m pumped Nick is VJing, I saw a clip a few weeks ago of his live visuals for the Beaux Arts Ball at Harvard and it was just incredible.

Some press coverage by the weekly dig:

There’s a new Tabasco-fiery nightlife series going on in Inman Square. The Lily Pad is pairing up with local graphic design collective, Golden Arrows, to pay homage to Latin American music via DJs stylings. This Saturday  Cambridge is getting down to DJ pair Pajaritos and El Oxycontinental with a performance by PC // MM. Best of all, it’s free and free things are the best things. And the name Pico Picante? It just sounds delicious. Like I want to be eating it accompanied by a margarita. Who doesn’t love to eat, drink, and be merry?
