Armand Hammer, Cavalier, Duncecap, SKECH185, and Henry Canyons at Union Pool

On Sunday, June 23, 2024, Union Pool’s annual Summer Thunder series continued with a free show headlined by Armand Hammer (billy woods & Elucid). The duo were joined by fellow Backwoodz Studioz artists Cavalier (who flew in from New Orleans for the show), Duncecap, plus SKECH185 and Henry Canyons (who were both backed by DJ Samurai Banana). The concert unfortunately fell on the final day of a heatwave but those who attended seemed to have a fun time despite the oppressive heat, with many people lining up at least an hour before doors opened, and staying behind after their set to buy merchandise directly from woods and Elucid. The New York Times highlighted the performance in their weekend roundup a few days before.

Armand Hammer were scheduled to perform a Summer Thunder show at Union Pool on Sunday, July 10, 2022, but the venue suffered fire damage nine days before this date and closed for about a month. I was excited to see that the duo rescheduled the missed date in this year’s edition.

Images I captured for Union Pool can be found here, and I am extremely grateful to Anna of UP for asking me to cover this special show.

Union Pool’s Summer Thunder series continues tomorrow (Sunday, July 7th) with a performance by Joe Bataan. Images I created last year of Bataan performing on Union Pool’s patio last July can be found here. They recently announced that Sun Ra Arkestra will be returning yet again on Sunday, August 25th to close out this year’s Summer Thunder series (photos from their sets last year are here). Details for 8/25 are available here, plus here’s Union Pool’s calendar for all of their upcoming events.

Henry Canyons "Not Today"

"Not Today" is the third video off Henry Canyon's 2018 album "Cool Side of the Pillow," produced by Matt 'Bones' Bowen and directed by Ryan Calavano.

LA based rapper, Henry Canyons, transcends your typical boundaries of hip-hop identity. The self-described Brooklinite-French-Jew took to music at a young age; from his training as a jazz saxophonist to his teenage years spent in Brooklyn ciphers, his melodic style and bilingual lyrical integrity reflect a diverse musical background. Canyons left for the West Coast in 2005 to attend Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. After graduating, Canyons moved to LA intent on following his passion for the artform. Since then Henry has worked on multiple projects, most recently his first solo mixtape, Vignettes. Upon its release in October of 2012, Vignettes–which features production from BoomBaptist–received cosigns from WordisBond, HypeFloats, Hip-hop.com and many other online publications. Since then, Canyons has been working on collaborative projects with French producers, Keor Meteor and Freddy Jay, as well as NYC producer Willie Green. Over the course of his career, Canyons has racked up over 30,000 views on YouTube, and has shared stages with Macklemore, Tash, Open Mike Eagle, Pigeon Jon, Blue Scholars, Billy Woods, and tons of local LA talent.

Hey folks, I'm going to share this here too in case it reaches new folks: I'm fine, but my uncle and aunt lost their home in the Palisades fire. They were in one of the mobile home parks next to the mouth of Temescal canyon, which leases spaces to (mostly senior) residents, so their insurance is only going to pay for the lost house. They're staying with friends currently, but when, where, even if they'll be able to rebuild is completely up in the air.

So I'm going to ask for any help folks can give, but I want you to know who you're helping too. Uncle Sandy is an absurd pianist (I have a video from this past February of him, at a sprightly 72, playing a grand piano and electric keyboard simultaneously, one with each hand), Aunt Laura is a volunteer docent at the Getty and possibly the kindest and most gracious woman imaginable, and one of their ongoing projects has been transcribing the diary of our union medic ancestor, Henry. The diary documents what appears to be a romantic relationship with his fellow medic, and may be one of the few accounts of a same-sex relationship from that period that aren't prison records. They've been working with historical experts to document, analyze, and release the diary with the care it deserves, because of the importance it could have to queer history.

Which is why they made it out of the Palisades with their dog, an antique pocketwatch from my grandmother, the clothes on their backs... and the diary. And not a whole lot else. That's who they are.

If you'd like to help us keep them afloat while we figure out what's next, here's their GoFundMe. Any help is greatly appreciated.

According to UNESCO, an estimated three million shipwrecks are scattered in the oceans’ deep canyons, trenches, and coral reefs and remain undiscovered. These shipwrecks preserve historical information and provide clues about how people lived in the past. The term ‘underwater cultural heritage’ refers to traces of human existence and activity found on ancient sunken ships or retrieved cargo such as bronze statues and priceless artworks. The Spanish treasure galleon, Nuestra Señora de Atocha, is the world’s most valuable shipwreck, estimated to be worth over USD 400 million. It was part of the Tierra Firme fleet of 28 ships bound for Spain from Cuba in 1622 and carried the Spanish Empire's wealth onboard – creamy pearls from Venezuela, glittering Colombian emeralds, and over 40 tons of gold and silver. The Atocha sailed into a hurricane off the coast of Key West, Florida, and sank. Its riches were discovered in 1985 by famed treasure hunter Mel Fisher (1922-1998). Thanks to virtual exhibitions and tours, you do not need diving skills to explore the oceans’ underwater cultural heritage. You can take a panoramic tour of Henry VIII of England’s (r. 1509-1547) favourite ship, the carrack Mary Rose, which sank in the English Channel during the Battle of the Solent on 19 July 1545. Want to see a 2,700-year-old Phoenician shipwreck submerged in the central Mediterranean? The virtual museum ‘Underwater Malta’ has a 3D model of the ship and app on Google Play. Fascinated to know what the wealth of the Spanish Empire looked like? Take a tour of Mel Fisher’s virtual treasures and the Atocha. There are countless virtual maritime museum displays, but let us take a look at five shipwrecks with interesting stories to tell.
