Thanks to all those who came out last night for "Live at Mr. T's Bowl." We had a last-minute band cancellation but still things went smoothly. Thanks to all the bands that played and to Arlo and Gus for helping us with the show. The next one won't be until July. Photos from the show are up and an archive of some of the Stickam videos that were broadcast are also up.
The next show we're presenting is 5/6 at The Smell with Warpaint, EXITMUSIC, VOICEsVOICEs, and Alexandra Hope. And we're thinking about camping outside the venue starting tomorrow to make sure we can actually get into that one.
Speaking of hard-to-get-into shows...
Last Tuesday, we made it a point to stop by the annual post-Coachella Ed Banger party at Cinespace for birthday boy Pedro Winter (aka Busy P) with special guest DJs SebastiAn, DJ Mehdi, Chris Holmes, Kavinsky, So Me, A-Trak, and hiding out until the finale, Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk (Gaspard from Justice was in the house but didn't spin.)
We cannot begin to explain the total chaos of this night. Only the few hundred or so people that were there (and especially those in front of the stage) know that it's a damn-near miracle people were trampled to death. Somehow we were able get some point-and-shoot photos, shoot some video, and Twitter a bit all while being mauled from behind for three straight hours. And, at one point, our pants came off. There we said it. We won't go into detail how it happened and we already edited the videos below and checked the hundreds of other videos of the night on Youtube so don't bother Googling for "Ed Banger" + "Pantless Idiot" because that's not us (probably). But believe us when we say that trying to get your pants back on at the perfect moment in a room full of people with cameras just waiting to Twitpic your naked ass on the Internet is very, very difficult. These are the kind of things you don't think about when you forget to wear a belt with baggy pants.
Pictured above are Kavinsky and DJ Mehdi with Chris Holmes balancing two hearts on his fingertips (those hearts are everywhere!).
