Tomorrow’s Really Really Free Market is postponed! Updates to come, possibly waiting until February for our next one.

Check it out! Volume 8 of the LAVA Broken Roof Sessions features Mitch Esparza performing some new material composed from loops, samples, fuzz and shredding. A truly dreamy soundscape for a slow summer day. Enjoy the tunes and donate to the GoFundMe page in the comments below. Your donations will help the LAVA Collective maintain the building through the pandemic and into the future so we all have a place to meet, create and collaborate.

Video and audio by the amazing Bob Sweeney.

Yo! Here it is. Christo Johnson of King Azaz did a set on the roof a few weeks ago, the amazing Bob Sweeney filmed and Jesse Kennedy did the audio. It came out fantastic. Please check it out, share it, and donate to the gofundme page in the comments. The money will help the collective weather this pandemic so that we can have a space to gather and create when it's all over.

We normally raise funds for the space via events, but due to the pandemic, we had to change that. Luckily we have some really talented friends! T-shirt preorders will be live for two weeks, and we won’t be making more than what gets ordered. Shout out to .mirage and (all Instagram handles) for helping us with this. Can’t wait to see them when they’re printed up! https://lavaspacephl.bigcartel.com/

Here it is! The latest installment of the monthly LAVA Broken Roof Sessions, featuring the wildly talented and enigmatic YOSHiSUHN. Yoshi performed some bangers and the amazing Bob Sweeney filmed. Jesse Kennedy captured the audio and the final piece is honestly one of the coolest things you've seen and heard in the past year. Definitely take the time to watch the full video on YouTube (link below) and throw a couple bucks to the LAVA collective to help keep the building maintained through the pandemic so that we all have a place to gather and organize on the other side.

The snow this month threw us off a bit but we'll be dropping the new Broken Roof Sessions video this Monday. It'll feature the wildly talented and enigmatic YOSHiSUHN. In the meantime, you can check him out on bandcamp, and donate to our GoFundMe page. Links below!

Volunteers expect that the snow will prevent them from running food distro tomorrow, so we have to cancel til next Thursday. We’re sorry!

02/12/2021

Unfortunately, we have to cancel tomorrow’s Really Really Free Market due to lack of table space out front of the building. Our next RRFM will be Saturday, March 13th.
