Los Angeles, CA ⎯ To celebrate the launch of the new Process Media book The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13, and The Source Family by Isis Aquarian (Pub date: October 25, 2007), the author and a dozen original Source Family members from the legendary L.A. cult/commune will mark a return to Los Angeles in early November for rare live performances and book signings.
The events at The Silent Movie Theatre (November 15) and The Echoplex (November 16) mark the first public performances in thirty years of the Family’s legendary rock band Ya Ho Wa 13. The live music event at The Echoplex on November 16 will also feature the seminal proto-punk psychedelic garage rocker, Sky Saxon and The Seeds—Saxon was also a devoted “member of The Source Family. Local favorites Entrance and Hecuba will open the show.
In February 2008, the Ya Ho Wa 13 classic record PENETRATION will be re-released in the U.S. for the first time since the (now very rare ) original 1000 print-run LP sold out through the Source restaurant for $1 each!) in 1974. Cold Sweat in Los Angeles will release the CD and Tee Pee Records out of Brooklyn will release the Vinyl version.
"...the Source Family has the best album covers hands down! Creation at its purest, just being, present as can be, letting the unknown unfold, Raw as the Stooges wasted on Ataraxia, free as the Santa Ana Winds, and rare as an astral encounter with the powers of creation, from Kohoutek to Operetta, the wild saga neverendlessly flows!"
—Devendra Banhart

Mystical History
SAT. 11/17: ERIK DAVIS + ISIS AQUARIAN ON FATHER YOD AND THE SOURCE FAMILY
From their website..."Attendant upon the release of Process Media's fascinating volume on the storied SoCal commune, The Source: The Untold Story of Father Yod, Ya Ho Wa 13 and The Source Family, we welcome authors Isis Aquarian and Electricity Aquarian, editor Jodi Wille, and ex-members of that Family in the flesh! The group grounds a 2 hr. audio-visual survey of the life and times of this seminal ‘60s/‘70s countercultural force in Los Angeles spirituality, music, and lifestyle (their famous restaurant The Source). A slideshow and a rare peek at family home movies and '70s cable access video clips, and numerous Ya Ho Wa 13 musical selections serve as springboards for anecdotes, discussion, and Q&A. OC fave Erik Davis, who wrote the book’s introduction, opens the show with prefatory remarks, framing the cult’s activity within his Visionary State cosmology.
With Isis, E, Om-Ne, and others.
