Steel Lounge Underground 

Back for one night only! Friday, July 13th

 

Steel Lounge Underground  
It happens only once a year and you can bet we won't miss it! As a proud sponsor, we hope you'll join us at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston for the summer's most anticipated music event: Steel Lounge Underground on Friday, July 13, 8PM-midnight. Hugely popular and presented with Derek Jones and our very own Josh Zulu, this music extravaganza showcases Houston's diversity and talent by bringing together musical artists representing a variety of genres. Explore the stimulating exhibitions on view while enjoying the music. The talented lineup features Suraj K., Esteban Torres, and DJ Baby Jae and a live performance by Omari Tau. A multimedia performance by artist Pablo Gimenez-Zapiola, paired with Steel Lounge's characteristic beats, will deliver a dynamic and powerful visual experience through motion, color, text and form.

Join the Steel Lounge Underground group on Facebook and follow them on Twitter for updates. Admission is free with a cash bar and food trucks. See you there!

New work, Woo Hoo!

We're excited to welcome new clients to the Zulu family.

Lasco Enterprises - We'll be designing the website for their latest concept, Boiler House Texas Grill and Wine Garden in San Antonio. The new site will convey the one-of-a-kind cuisine, wine and atmosphere experience being created next to the historic Pearl Brewery building and offer patrons simple, user-friendly functionality.

BSG&L - They build personal wealth. We'll build them a website--and hope to become one of their most valuable assets. From life insurance and college planning to retirement, we'll show how the experts at BSG&L guide clients through the financial lifecycle.

Good Times

FELA!        


Fela

Houston, get ready! The Society for the Performing Arts (SPA) proudly presents one of the most critically acclaimed musicals to ever hit Broadway - FELA!, three-time Tony Award-Winner
for Best Costumes, Choreography and Sound. Now can you see why we're excited?

Produced by Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, FELA! is the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies) ignited a generation. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom. This triumphant tale of courage, passion and love features Fela Kuti's captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of SPA favorite Bill T. Jones.

The praise says it all!
  • "There should be dancing in the streets. There has never been anything on Broadway like this production."  -  New York Times
  • "an ecstatic phenomenon" - Time Out New York
  • "one of the most original and exciting shows" - The New York Daily News
Catch one of seven performances at Jones Hall from June 5-10, 2012. Ticket prices range from $30-80 and may be purchased online at www.spahouston.org OR win a pair of tickets by being the first to tell us how many people attended Fela Kuti's funeral. Here's a hint.
