Wunder Showzen > in the desert this weekend

Shows in the desert > this weekend I'll be in San Francisco for Outside Lands and I say you should too. Maybe I'm crazy to do another 3-day festival of music and madness right after Lollapalooza this past weekend but this is the shit that I live for.

Anyway, if you aren't fortunate to join me and the Party Posse back where I was imported from and you're sticking around in the 115 degrees, make your way out to these spots for some great music that I'm slightly disappointed in missing. But just slightly ;)

Cut Copy

Cut Copy at Marquee Theatre [Tempe, FRI] > if you aren't at least vaguely familiar with these Aussies then you've been living under a rock and if you don't like dance and electro-popping fun then you're probably smoking the rock. These dudes have put out 3 superb studio LP's since '04 and this current tour is in promotion of their latest album Zonoscope, which I told you back in February was the illness. Do yourself a favor and get your ass out to Marquee or you'll regret it.

Richard Vission at Spanish Fly [Scottsdale, SAT] > Richard Vission or what the old school party-goers know him as Richard 'Humpty' Vission, will be hitting the decks in Old Town. I've seen Vission perhaps a dozen times over the past dozen years from Phoenix to Vegas to Los Angeles and he brings the party out wherever he drops it. He's famous for mixing the latest in almost any genre into his deep cuts. Personally, my favorite remix of his is the Rerub Edit of 'Mama's Room' by Under the Influence of Giants back in 2006. I was actually just rocking it on the train earlier today. I've never seen a DJ of this magnitude at Spanish Fly before so I'm curious how well put together it will be but he'll do his part and make everyone get down.

Let me know if you make it to any of these and how you enjoyed your night out. I'd love to hear about it. Take pics. Take some video. I'll talk to you about it when I get back from Nor*Cal.
