Friday Night Eclectic: Gato & the Palenke Music Co. April 9, 2010

"WORTH THE DRIVE: If you missed the notice, the Mansion at Strathmore throws the best reason to trek out of the district with its Friday Night Eclectic showcase..." ~ The Washington Post Express

The Mansion at Strathmore is your new first stop of the weekend with the all-new Friday Night Eclectic series. Kick off your weekend with the best local live music the metro area has to offer. Indie rock, hip-hip, electronica, salsa, go-go, and funk blast through conventional ideas of art, lounge and life outside the beltway.

This seven member Latin band's music grooves with influences from El Salvador, Peru, Paraguay and Colombia. Don't miss this chance to hear them perform tracks from their first album, La Situacion.

Visual artists Jackie Hoysted, Stephanie Potter (w/ interactive photo booth) will also be presenting their work.
