916groove.com interviews at THE FIFTH GALLERY

916 GROOVE.com stopped by a few weeks ago to interview Marc Zuazua of Mofoz Visualz and John Gomi. We talk art, fashion, culture, music and plans for the downtown Austin gallery. I especially like the end where there is footage from an earlier open jam where DJ Rockwell is spinning with his back to the turntables..cool!
