The nonprofit aims to teach transcendental meditation to inner city children, and a few times during the night, the audience was encouraged to donate money to the foundation, though it never became an overbearing shakedown. The event benefitted the David Lynch Foundation, which we covered last year at a dinner honoring Rick Rubin. The evening brought a few singalong moments, like Duran Duran’s dance party-inducing closing run of “Ordinary World” and “Hungry Like the Wolf”, and Moby’s requested audience accompaniment for “The Perfect Life”, but mostly it was a night to sit back and let the synthesized orchestral music of Angelo Badalamenti and the voices of Karen O, Jim James, Zola Jesus, Lykke Li, and Sky Ferreira dazzle the dapper, spirited audience at the Theatre at Ace Hotel. While Brian Fest was a jam session with a booze sponsor, Lynch’s event couldn’t have been more different: moody, atmospheric, nuanced, and essentially a faithful musical interpretation of his cinema. A few days after Brian Fest, a celebration of Brian Wilson’s career, Los Angeles’ second tribute concert of the week slipped out of the sunshine and into the shadows for a night honoring the cinematic and pop music of David Lynch.
