We all know the unbearable symptoms and the dangerous funky side effects. You are not alone. We love you. Join us for a night of immunity by celebration of
MAYDA’s new album “Infected”. Better come to get VacciMAYDA’d with MAYDA, Diane, and 5ifth House. Live videos and visuals produced by Nanotako Studios in collaboration with MAYDA.
“Her (Mayda) R&B-infused pop is undeniably fresh, as she swings between pared-down acoustic struts, full-band funkadelic blasts, and electronic drumbeats and synth flourishes that would make the Purple One proud…. it’s hard not to anticipate big things from the petite yet larger-than-life pop songstress.” -Andrea Swensson
Mayda’s music has been featured locally as well as internationally. Numerous of Mayda’s songs have been on Rachael Ray show, Good Morning America, KFC youtube, Reebok Seoul commercials, Jersey Shore, and cable networks such as Showtime and MTV.

5ifth House is a duo consisting of Yawa Glen on electric guitar and SoulFlower on bass. Sharing and exchanging vocals, their lyrics are evoking, introspective – usually coming from a place of personal experience or contemplation. A grungy-soft psychedelic sound emanates from their instruments. Pulling in the focus of the audience and letting it go in thrashing release. The name is pulled by the astrological symbolism of creativity, self expression and exploration known as the field of experience as the ‘5th House’.
