Fool’s Gold European Vacation from Mr Goldbar on Vimeo.
As a final complement to the recap blog that I wrote after the FG European Vacation tour, here’s a video retrospective. (Shed a single tear.)
If you’d like to immortalize this slice of time, you can still purchase a t-shirt over at the Fool’s Gold webstore.
2 new videos from the fam. First off, on Fool’s Gold: Congorock’s “Babylon”. The Pomp&Clout directed clip is also available for purchase on iTunes (as part of a Scion A/V video collab series), stay tuned for the full Congorock “Babylon” single coming soon.

If you attended last summer’s 10,000LB Hamburger Tour then you saw my boy Theophilus London opening for me. Here’s his brand new video for “Humdrum Town”, a song you can grab for free on the Green Label Sound site.
The Fool’s Gold European Vacation tour was the first official FG tour outside of American shores. The line-up was various combinations of: myself, Jokers of the Scene, Congorock and Greenmoney. For two weeks we traveled across the Old Continent, spreading the gospel of Mr Goldbar, leaving a trail of stickers and sweaty club kids. We slalomed between language barriers and customs officers, all in the name of the logo as Lyor would say. Even when we hit cities that I’ve played by myself, it was a completely different experience to show up with a posse and make that statement, throwing merch into the crowd and playing snippets of upcoming 2010 releases. Representation in the European parliament shouldn’t be very far off.
First official Fool’s Gold European tour! It’s about darn time. How do you say Fool’s Gold in German?

Last week I finally arrived in Paris to settle in for my six week stay here. I’m doing a house swap with the DJ Mehdi & Fafi household. They’ve already been living at my spot in BK for a few weeks while I was finishing up these tours, which made me homeless for a hot second. Right as I landed from Japan I got an invitation to dinner with my favorite living-dead (and new neighbor) Kavinsky, permanent dresser-in-black Sebastian and their respective female companions. A swift reminder that Parisians are prone to social meals and, as the food was served, that this is a great destination for a fine palate like myself. I walked home seemingly ready for a good night’s rest after essentially circling the globe. Hah. I guess I underestimated the formidable power of jetlag. 6am monday morning, I was up.
