We've been stuck with the only Santogold cd we have caught in my boy Jon's laptop for a week or so, charger MIA (no pun intended). That changed yesterday, and now we're happily enjoying the cd late. My hip hop friends don't feel it, but if I'd had this cd growing up in Hawaii it would have changed everything, it's like island electro madness.
Played another show last night at Hidden House in Phoenix, we keep getting better, and I'm really enjoying performing now, we're comfortable on stage, we like our sets, and our crowds are generally good people. I'm not trying to get pelted with bottles Mickey Avalon style anytime soon. Our shows are so diverse, we rock hundreds one night, then forty the next night, then twenty, then back to hundreds. Rocking a pool party this Sunday, then the battle of the bands next week. Just booked Tucson in July and Zuma in July, we talk about our tour more on Monday.
After our show our DJ, Epidemic, had a set at Glam, which he absolutely destroyed, that place has gotta be the most cracking club in Arizona. At this point one cat who used to be the bouncer got his brother and their boys together and set up a complete barbeque grill business outside, the club's open for hours past the Scottsdale clubs, and the djs are just killer. We play there on the 7th, and I can't wait, there's not even a stage, and the sound system sucks, but you cram 200 people into a spot the size of my living room, with another hundred outside, all of them getting crunk off $1 PBR's and it's about to be a wrap when we cover Radio Ladio (below).
