The Read
Cheek builds songs out of field recordings, tape and voice, and they rarely resolve into verses and choruses. Live it is more physical and less abstract than the records.
The Venue
2220 Arts + Archives
2220 Beverly Blvd
A volunteer-run cultural center in Historic Filipinotown where about a dozen independent programmers and nonprofits share a single calendar of film, music and readings.

Before
China CafeA horseshoe counter inside Grand Central Market that has been serving the same American-Chinese menu since 1959. You sit on a stool under a neon sign and order wonton soup or chow mein. The market around it dates to 1917 and the stall has outlasted most of its neighbors.

After
Monty BarNext door to the Teragram on Seventh Street, with dark wood, a short beer list and a DJ most nights. It opens late and closes at 2am. On a weeknight it is mostly people who came out of the venue next door.
