Around The World, Pt.33: Magic 8-Ball Tour – West Coast and Canada

June 23rd, 2011

Ladies and gentlemen here is the official recap video for the whole tour:

Straight up, the West Coast leg of the Magic 8-Ball Tour felt like a victory lap. Our sets were in tip-top shape after a couple weeks on the road and the crowds out there were some of the warmest of the whole run. Full of chutzpah. The tour was supposed to end in San Fran but we decided to extend it with one last weekend in Eastern Canada, moving the Montreal date and adding one in Toronto. Those last 2 dates were without Kid Sister and Gaslamp Killer, though.

Around The World, Pt.31: Coachella

April 22nd, 2011

Coachella is a classy affair, my favorite music festival in America. I’ve played there a few times over the years: in 1999 with Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike. In 2006 with Kanye. In 2008 with Kid Sister. But this year felt extra special. First of all because I was playing twice: solo and with Duck Sauce. And second, because Chromeo was also on the bill so it was a family affair. It felt like the culmination of years of going there with various collaborators and eating the spicy pizza in the VIP tent.
