The evening runs from 7–11 PM and includes three musical performances, beginning with a community drone session. Attendees are invited to bring an instrument or sound-making object to contribute to a collective drone lasting approximately 10–15 minutes, gradually giving way to the first act. Performances will continue throughout the evening until 11 PM. Refreshments will be served.

Founded in 2021 by artist and musician Dakota Higgins, The Departure from Music Venue(s) (The DMV) is dedicated to presenting music from Los Angeles’s expansive DIY and experimental scene. Past participants include Muscle Beach, Lxs Cochinxs, Los Angeles Woodwind Skill Share, Black NASA, Jacob Wolff, Qur’an Shaheed, You, Me, and the Whales, Psychobuildings, and Steve Kado. Originally based in an autobody shop in Commerce, CA, The DMV has since organized events in garages, living rooms, and backyards throughout Los Angeles.
