You ever have one of those days where everything annoys you? Like that dumb ass driver, or that dumb ass traffic, or your dumb ass car that skips your music even though you’re playing bluetooth and NOT a used CD? Yeah? Yeah, that was my day. So I figured why not go take a bunch of drugs and listen to bass music that knocks your balls off? Or, watch other people take drugs and listen to bass music that knocks your balls off?
Which is what I did. Now I don’t need a vasectomy. With Sera Tonin, DEADNASTY, Infamoose, and Saint VII.
Sidenote: as soon as I got to the venue, I realised something. This was the exact same place where, almost 10 years ago, I worked on a short film. And this short film called for an actress to take her top off and shake her tits at me.
Anyways, it was good to be back. Now, I know not everyone is a psychopath who gets there at doors, but I am. A psychopath. Who happened to get there at doors. And if you’re an introvert like me, it’s actually not that bad. I got a private set from Saint VII. And he didn’t even hold back. He played as if there was more than just me there.
Even though there wasn’t. So fuck all y’all who didn’t get a private concert like I did. Even if I just sat in the back to enjoy it because getting close to the stage is scary.
One thing with DJ style music that’s super duper important is pacing. There’s no breaks where you get to tell stories about how you once accidentally flashed a school bus or something else that didn’t ever happen. You just get, like, a set. A big, long set. And if your set sucks, people feel it. Especially the introverts like me. Yeah, if you read the last paragraph, you would know I’m an introvert. Stop skipping paragraphs.
And these local artists crushed their pacing. I could tell you how the audience felt or how they reacted, or I could just tell you that I was riding the waves they were giving. I’d get groovy and then I would sit and vibrate in a chair. Then get groovy again and then vibrate again. And then get groovy again and then vibrate again. And then get…
It was impressive. You almost expect small acts to go hard the entire set. And that would be shit. But these guys didn’t. They gave you moments to relax. And it made for an extremely comfortable show.
I have a few asides I need to mention. One, no, I didn’t know you were doing the hokey pokey. Two, yes, DEADNASTY‘s kicks are clean as fuck. Three, how the fuck did Sera Tonin make the Red Hot Chili Peppers work during her set? You’d think that’d be a death sentence. It’s the fucking Chili Peppers! How was it not? How did it work? The part of her set was fucking bomb!
Anyways, I had to take a massive shit, so I left a little early. Go tell that to Your Mom.
Where should I go next? Or not go next? Let me know in the comments!
