Not only has Giant Robot opened its own restaurant on Sawtelle boulevard, bringing their total number of shops on the block to three, but they are hosting new work from artist Nikki McClure starting this Saturday. We liked Nikki when she was part of Dub Narcotic Sound System and dropped funky songs on us like "Booty Run" in the mid-nineties.
We like her art almost as much.
GR is also presenting a band at The Echo later this month that we will be lucky enough to catch in Austin at SXSW: Asobi Seksu. You can get your thrumming depression rock on with the New York band on the 24th.
