Linda Perhacs and Friends

It was a celebration of the wonderous folk rock explorations of Linda Perhacs. The LA Weekly recently dubbed Perhacs’ legendary 1970 album, Parallelograms, “..one of the most mystifying and beautiful moments of the psychedelic era, on par with any outrĂ© work of the time.” The night we witnessed was one of creative exploration that highlighted Perhacs’ incredible album ad the book that inspired it- Turn of the Century Theosophist manifesto, Thought Forms (first published in 1901 by Annie Besant). Perhacs’ songs, as well as the science and philosophies of this incredible century-old tome, provided the backdrop for an array of experimental film and projected artworks as well as live musical and dance interpretations of Perhacs’ work were done by a variety of contemporary artists. It truly was an evening of joy and inspiration.

In the house we had Linda Perhacs, Mia Doi Todd, We Are The World, Tom Brosseu, Julia Holter, Crystal Antlers, Ryan Heffington, Hecuba, and much more. Here’s a look back at what was one magical evening.
