Lights Down Low Featuring Miss Kittin; and Featuring Bonobo – All Night Long LA Fire Relief Fundraiser
Miss Kittin, Saturday, Feb. 1
Bonobo, Friday, Feb. 14
The devastation of the fires hit Corey Sizemore of Lights Down Low about as close to home as you can get. While his house in Altadena survived, most of his neighborhood did not. Comedian Chris Garcia noted on Instagram that Corey played a big part in saving the homes that were spared, including his, “From hosing down trees and structures to raking leaves and brush, this man is a hero and he deserves his flowers.”
None of this has stopped LDL from building up our community — in addition to participating in LA Gives Back, Lights Down Low is hosting two benefit parties.
The first is with Miss Kittin on Saturday, Feb. 1, to benefit his son’s school, Princeton Montessori Altadena.
The second will be on Valentine’s Day, with DJ and musician Bonobo performing all night long. Bonobo has made LA home for ten years and notes that Resident Advisor will be donating all the fees collected in support of fire victims as well.
Miss Kittin tickets available here.
Bonobo tickets available here.
