Lemon Brands After Hours: 95 Live Show
95 Live Show @ Avant Garde LES
On Thursday, March 30th, Lemon Brands attended the Opening Reception of Avant Garde LES's latest showing, "95 Live Show". The showing is a exploration of an era, a diverse set of featured artists referenced the cultural climate of the mid-1990's through visual works of art.
The Lemon Brands team enjoyed some drinks and the visual displays while the DJ had Golden Era Hip Hop on heavy rotation. The event was New York to the core. The wallpaper had images of life-sized Subway cars that had been tagged with graffiti and a framed collage of flyers for Jams featuring legends like KRS -1, The Notorious B.I.G., Funkmaster Flex, etc... was displayed.
It was clear that this event was a reunion of some sorts as people embraced and talked like they hadn't seen each other in awhile. All in all, the music was right, drinks were flowing, and there were good vibes all around.
