Magic Garage 5: Eagle Rock Music and Arts Collective Takes Over Downtown Loft This Weekend

Five years ago, Magic Garage was born in an Eagle Rock house when a group of artists and musicians decided to come together to throw a party and show off their work. This weekend, the group will convene once again, but thanks to the growing success of the event, the organizer's mom's house won't cut it anymore, so instead they will take over the Annex Seven loft downtown.
The two-day community art and music event will feature a steady line-up of musicians, including underground hip-hop favorite xololanxinxo and showcase the work of over 55 artisits. Co-organizer Dev Das says, "the emphasis is on the underground art and music scene in Los Angeles, those sights and sounds that wouldn't normally get seen or heard in the industry. Brilliant artists and musicians who just work out of their garages are what this is all about...hence magic garage."
Support your local art and music scene this weekend. For more details and a full artist and musician line up, check them out on Facebook.
