DangerForce5

Surf and tiki energy swells beyond the breakers as DangerForce5 brings an instrumental onslaught to Pele Utu. Hailing from Sacramento and corralled by Professor Jimi Chimichanga, Esq., this supergroup trades polite beach tunes for reverb-drenched intensity that feels like brewing weather. Expect rapid-fire tremolo runs, spaghetti western suspense, and space-age oddities circling drums that pound like open-water surf against a smuggler’s hull. The sound nods to Dick Dale, The Challengers, and The Astronauts, with the interstellar mischief of Man or Astro-Man and the widescreen tension of Ennio Morricone’s film scores. One moment echoes a quiet cocktail beneath bamboo lights, then it flips into a headlong chase along the Baja coast in a speeding boat. No brakes, no lifeguards, no promises, only instrumental surf pushed past respectable volume.

Resin Plank

A participant favorite that concludes Artown, this hands-on Resin Plank workshop is led by studio artist Donna Smit and centers on a calm, creative approach to turning reclaimed wood planks into distinctive layered wall art. Planks are painted with acrylics in advance so they are dry and ready to work with. Participants can build their mixed media piece on an approximately 5 by 18 inch plank or choose a 12 by 12 frame for a different look. Learn to break bottles, vases, and cups to shape a custom design, then experiment with texture and layering using a wide selection of materials that can include crash glass, stained glass, plastics, and vintage jewelry. Personal baubles from home are welcome to incorporate. A clear coat of resin seals the entire piece, and each finished plank includes alligator bracket hardware so it is ready to hang. This class is suitable for ages 15 and up. Online prices reflect processing fees, and in-person registration with cash or check is available for those who prefer to avoid them. The cost is 105 dollars when paying by cash or check and 112 dollars when using a credit or debit card. All ticket purchases are final, though they may be transferred.
