Bazuco Media Corporation’s exhibit is in full throttle at Boots Contemporary Art Space.  The gallery’s walls showcase Bazuco’s artistic diversity, from music and video production, to fashion and prints.  Video projections include live performance by DrumKit and the DEAD DRUGLORDS from Bazuco’s opening reception at Boots.  Beyond the screen, the vibrancy of the reception lingers in the remnants of the party, still preserved in the gallery.  Remaining pieces of the airplane piñata hang from the ceiling, while its broken counterparts coalesce with confetti and candy, sprinkled on the floor.  Listen to the sounds of Bazuco’s other bands, including Juan-Ex-Band and Nofuturo, in various music videos and performances.  Find out what Professor Bazuco has to say about his philosophies on music, art, design, education, and more in his book “Ultimate Guide to Culture.” 

Come see what Bazuco is all about.  Bazuco Media Corporation will be at Boots until July 22^nd, so don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind experience.

Bazuco Media Corporation’s opening reception was a hit last night at Boots Contemporary Art Space.  Upon entering the gallery, guests were greeted with a display of Bazuco merchandise along with t-shirts, posters, and CDs from DrumKit and the DEAD DRUGLORDS.  DrumKit’s performance had the walls vibrating and the crowd mesmerized with the high energy and audacious aesthetics of their video backdrop.  Following DrumKit, the DEAD DRUGLORDS shook it up a bit with their eccentric, narco-aesthetic presentation.  During their performance, individuals took a swing at the airplane piñata filled with Colombian candy.  As candy and confetti fell to the floor, the two large papier-mâché heads had the people dancing in a performance of great élan.  The unique videos are the product of Electronic and Time-Based Art – the exploration of creative and expressive forms in a new language of art. 

If you missed last night, do not fret, the ambiance of the party – confetti and all – has been preserved.  The walls of Boots venerate the spirit of Bazuco with video projections of the bands’ performances and Bazuco merchandise for sale. Thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets.  With your support, Boots can continue to host events and exhibitions like last night’s one-of-a-kind performance.

Music is playing as the last touches are made for Bazuco Media Corporation’s opening reception at Boots tonight.  The band’s arrival has brought a palpable wave of excitement and anticipation.  Their charisma and zeal will have the crowd dancing so don’t miss DrumKit at 7:45 and the DEAD DRUGLORDS at 8:30.

Tonight you can help Boots match a Missouri Arts Council Grant by entering a raffle.  Buy a $5 ticket for a chance to win Bazuco merchandise.  This is an exclusive opportunity to own Bazuco’s assorted music collection and more – a $40 value.  The name will be drawn before the DEAD DRUGLORDS begin playing.

See you tonight at Boots Contemporary Art Space!

With one day until the opening reception, excitement is building at Boots as Bazuco Media Corporation vamps up the gallery’s milieu.  The conversion of the front room into a storefront is underway as shelves are being stocked with Bazuco merch, while behind its walls awaits a surprise hypnotic to the senses.  Become a part of this exclusive retail experience by purchasing unique Bazuco T-shirts, skateboards, posters, CDs and more (cash only, please).

Final preparations will begin tomorrow with the eager arrival of the rest of the band. Tomorrow night’s lineup includes the pop-punk sound of DrumKit at 7:45 followed by the DEAD DRUGLORDS and their narcotic ensemble at 8:30.

En route to St. Louis last night, Boots’ upcoming exhibitor, Juan Obando of Bazuco Media Corporation, encountered some technical difficulties as his car miserably broke down.  Despite the mechanical setback, the artist’s fashionably late arrival has upped the level of anticipation for the opening of the exhibit this Friday.  Energy is pulsating throughout the walls of Boots as Juan begins the transformation of Boots Contemporary Art Space.  Join Boots this Friday from 6:30-10pm for the opening reception featuring Bazuco live music by DrumKit and the Dead Druglords!

Q: What do Bogota, Columbia, custom merchandize, and dynamic live performances have in common?

A: BAZUCO MEDIA CORP.!

Here’s a preview of Boot’s exciting final exhibition of the year:

Started in Bogota, Columbia, Bazuco Media Corporation will be Boot’s closing exhibition of 2009. Founded by artist, Juan Obando, and designers, Juan Rios and Juan Ospina, Bazuco (BZC) has infiltrated  numerous media outlets including the television, radio, and world wide web, by producing live web shows that stream collaborative and unique music to the world. BZC has ventured into the fashion world, designing its own prints and posters that comment on today’s world driven by popular culture. In Columbia, BZC was selected to exhibit its work at Colombia’s ‘Salon Nacional de Artistas’ in 2008, and now hopes to imprint upon the international community by flying its flag at the city where the two great rivers, Missouri and Mississippi, meet.

Stay tuned for more updates on BZC’s exhibition coming to Boots in two weeks.
