Touring with Busdriver & Deerhoof/New Sights and Sounds

Happy New Year, friends! And what a crazy year this is going to be, especially for us Sagittarians (well, that's what they say, anyway). There have already been some major shifts for yours truly, and I am looking forward to seeing the dust settle.

Busdriver & Deerhoof On The Road

Starting this Friday, I will be joining Busdriver to support Deerhoof on selected dates of their three-month tour!

And, in February, the fun continues. Before returning out with Bus, I will be spinning records at a low-key weekly in SoHo at Shebeen, sponsored by Paper Magazine along with friends Ryan Pearson & Larry Millah. Monthly guests include Copperpot, DJ Rude 1, plus many other fun surprises each week. Come out, keep warm, and have a drink!

Upcoming Sights & Sounds

The next few months will see some new releases, specifically a couple of remixes and a compilation appearance on a new label called Circuitree. The Original Ultraviolets, a side-project I have with Mr. Stuart Bogie (when he's not busy recording with Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, TV on the Radio, Celebration, Jeremiah Lockwood, or any number of people around in NY) is continuing to, well, move very slowly. In the beginning of this year, we mixed down a brand new song and smoothed out some rough edges in some of our older material. We hope to get at least one more song finished before making a (drum roll please) MYSPACE PAGE! Ooh- bet you didn't see that one coming. Also on the horizon this year is the release of Boy King Islands, and soon enough I'll put up some sound samples from that project as well.
