Hordes of Chaos

Thrash legends Kreator bring the Hordes of Chaos Tour to Slim's tonight. Joined by Exodus, Belphegor and Warbringer. Serg brought a Warbringer album home from Amoeba recently and these guys are good. So although I've just heard of Warbringer, I'm just as excited to see them as Exodus. New album Waking Into Nightmares, out next month. Peep the interview:



My first thrash show, I think. I hope I don't get hurt.

Bad Brains Vans

I actually clicked on a banner and bought something.

The Vans Bad Brains ad appeared on the Warped Tour band list page which took me to the Vans Bad Brains page. I ordered the 46 LEs. I was excited enough about getting the shoes, but when I saw the packaging I was pleasantly surprised.




3 sets of laces!


Bad Brains cassette shoe bag

Now I don't want to wear them and get them dirty. But I will.

They had a cake that looked just like this.

Out now but I'm waiting for the vinyl. Release party was at Infatuation Wednesday night and a lot of homies were in the house. Big ups to K-Maxx who I hadn't seen in at least ten years and still looks the same.

Saw the Adolescents at Bottom of the Hill last Sunday, SO good. Here's a great interview with Steve Soto. (I am older than him AND Tony Reflex.)

Emynd & Bo Bliz AND Dave Nada? Helllllyeaaaaahh.

See you Saturday night at the spot.

Mr. Dibbs at Booty Bassment tonight

Booty Bassment DJs Ryan Poulsen and Dimitri Dickinson have been kind enough to invite Mr. Dibbs to play tonight while he's in town for a stopover from a Honolulu show last night with El-P and the band.



Big ups to Mega$oid for coming through Thursday night for Bass Camp, Mochipet's new monthly at 111 Minna. Turbo Crunk with Megasoid, Lunice and Hovatron, Robot Koch, Bass Science, Lazer Sword and residents Quitter, Buddy Leroy, Epcot and Salva. DAAAAMN. Look for my interview with Megasoid in the next Versus Magazine.

Toy Selectah in SF

It's been a long while. Catch up time!



Recent shows:

Jedi Mind Tricks at Slim's




Babygrande labelmates Young God (Blue Sky Black Death) and Vinnie Paz

New album out Tuesday -- A History of Violence. Thanks for the pics, Diane.

Reef the Lost Cauze is on tour with them (as is Outerspace and King Magnetic -- Philly tour is deep!). Look out for him, he is refreshingly dope and a great performer.

I just found this "Vinnie Paz Documentary" on YouTube. I know Jedi Mind Tricks very well and I find this shit hilarious! Vinnie hasn't seen it yet but he said his brother told him it was funny. Only JMT fans will get it. The song at the end kills.



Devin the Dude and Coughee Brothaz at Slim's


Rob Quest!



Mega$oid opened for Glitch Mob at Mezzanine. Look out for my interview with them in the next Versus Mag.





Santogold was SOOOOO good!



Rocktober rocked! Spindig's 3rd Anniversary, Tacober Fest and National Thuggy Fresh Day were the highlights.

330 Ritch Happy Hour Fridays / Face Down Ass Up Saturday

Here are your weekend plans:

Friday, September 26
330 Ritch Happy Hour Fridays






The party is every Friday, but Ryan Poulsen and I are there on 4th Fridays. Got it?

After that it's the Born & Raised party with special guests Cosmo Baker (The Rub, Brooklyn) AND Fourcolorzack (Yo Son, Fool's Gold, Seattle) joining residents Morse Code and Vin Sol. Dang!

This Saturday will be the last Face Down Ass Up at 222 Club, because unfortunately they're closing the club on Sunday. Stay tuned for our new venue.



DJs Fourcolorzack, B.Cause, Shezilla and me coming with the booty-shaking bass and explicit rap lyrics. WOW.

Glimmers @ Infatuation 2nite

Dang, I've been so busy I didn't have time to post the September Spindig flyer. It went down last Friday evening and guest DJ Doc Delay played a killer set. He then proceeded to get funky and a little superdiscohyphy at Free Funk Friday later at the Elbo Room.


Dr. Delay at the Elbo Room, dreaming of new Federation mixes

Tonight my DJ buddy Ryan Poulsen is at Infatuation at Vessel, one of the funnest weeklies going in SF right now.



The Glimmers and Headman will be electro-dance-popping it up.

In two weeks, Infatuation hosts the Hollywood Moon tour with Hollywood Holt and Kid Cudi. "Just bought a moped..."
