Under The Influence: Martin Hsu

undertheinfluence

For those in the Los Angeles area, Gallery 1988 will be showcasing a new exhibit, Under The Influence: An Official Tribute To Beastie Boys, that’s starting this week. Artist and friend Martin Hsu will have a new original piece, Intergalactic Elementary, a take on the Beastie Boy’s popular song that is now stuck in my head.

The show opens this Thursday, January 8th with 100 artists, which I definitely want to check out. I’ve always enjoyed The Beastie Boy’s tribute to Japanese monster movies and the Shibuya train station with their Intergalactic video (ugh, there it goes, stuck in my head again).

Speaking of popular music and Asian American artists collaborating, I can’t be the only one to notice that Luke Chueh designed the latest album cover for Fall Out Boy, right? I don’t know how I feel about that, though. Fall Out Boy, really??

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less. You can reach me at moye[at]8asians.com.
