SUMMARY:Shaki Tavi
LOCATION:Eagle Inn
DESCRIPTION:+ Petty Hexes Gavin Freidus ___________________________________
 _______________ Minor Slip is the Felte debut from Shaki Tavi\, the main p
 roject of Oklahoma-born\, LA-based DIY lifer Leon Manson and a cadre of fr
 iends and commiserators. Through layered squalls of fuzzed-out guitars and
  overdriven drums\, deceptively beautiful pop hooks emerge\, illuminated b
 y Manson’s weathered\, harmonized baritone and knack for inventive struc
 tures. Tracing the record’s origins to a phase of burnout and disillusio
 nment\, he recalls\, “I started just sitting down with some minimal effe
 cts and gear\, playing riffs\, and asking myself\, ‘What if it could be 
 fun? What if it could be for me?’” The result is powerful\, vulnerable
 \, catchy\, and uncommonly genuine\, an eruption of creative force from th
 e child of rock musicians\, whose passion and drive emerged as a small tow
 n outsider\, and strengthened amid the artifice and fend-for-yourself real
 ity of LA. Lead single\, “Breaker”\, combines a mid tempo breakbeat wi
 th prismatic guitars and laid back vocals\, in a cross-pollination of genr
 es that distills Manson’s years in different bands and scenes into a sin
 cere\, uncompromising vision. On “Foam”\, skull-rattling riffs and a h
 owling guitar hook soar over Big Beat drums\, equally evoking arena-sized 
 grandeur and jangly sway. The fullness and ambition in Manson’s arrangem
 ents developed over the course of a few years of writing\, revising\, and 
 recording. He recalls\, “After some surprising feedback to a couple of b
 edroom demos\, I got my bandmates into the studio to make more polished ve
 rsions\; this second phase involved a familiar kind of existential drift a
 nd doubt\, but the solution was the same as always: keep it simple\, make 
 stuff I like\, and go from there.” Despite his singular vision\, Manson
 ’s dedication to community runs deep\; he has worked at LA’s creative 
 non-profit Non Plus Ultra for years\, and while acknowledging the massive 
 scale of the West Coast arts scene\, he notes\, “The upside of this city
  is that the creative energy is off the charts if you are able to open you
 r sails and harness it.” Manson further summarizes the emotional investm
 ent in his work\, noting\, “This record sometimes felt like a burden\, o
 ther times like a life raft\; it was a process of welcoming whatever is ha
 ppening\, even when there are minor slips.”\n\nBoletos: https://www.fats
