If we could have magically been two places at once on NYE we definitely would have been downtown checking out MSTRKRFT - no doubt, spinning the hottest tracks on the planet. So, we couldnt be more excited to start off ‘08 with another Dim Mak/
BPM party featuring none other than MSTRKRFT….but it doesnt stop there….also spinning will be, ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD, AOKI & MORE. This, as always will be an RSVP event…which will undoubtedly fill up super fast. Check out a clip of the last MSTRKRFT performance…complete with laser show. What else would you expect?

Thanks to the LA Weekly, to Goldenvoice, to all the bands, artists and djs that rocked the streets of Downtown LA. And special thanks to all of our good friends (new and old) that stoped by our booth. You made Detour a blast. The Roxy Crew had a great time hanging at our tent that was disguised as a pink disco lounge. We handed out free tickets, stickers and, most popular, our homemade Pink Glowsticks to the thousands of smiling, happy, music loving people. It reminds me that sometimes you need to get out of the office and hit the road, even if it’s just to Downtown. Can’t wait for next year. Please feel to post your own pictures from Detour below.

If you make it downtown, make sure to stop by The Roxy tent and hang out with us, hear some music, and grab a Roxy glowstick to rock out with after dark! We’ll see you there!

The Western States Motel at The Scene in Glendale. Scott Simoneaux of Infectious Publicity hipped me this band days ago…and I’ve fallen for them.

THE LIFE FORCE TRIO
SLAMMIN ALL BODY BAND
I caught Slammin backstage at North Beach Jazz Fest last summer.
And acting as MC and host of the night…the InFamous MikeThePoet.
MikeThePoet sums up my east-side experience for he was ringleader of the Roundtable. MikeThePoet & The Poets of the Roundtable would host monthly events at 33 1/3 bookstore on the corner of Alvarado and Sunset that became critical sessions - like food to feed the fire - we all left inspired… MCs and Street Art, 40’s in brown bags outside the bookstore. Those were the days…. The Bonaventure like my compass - backdrop was always downtown LA.
MIKE THE POET
+ Upstart
THURSDAY APRIL 26- On the Rox ( located above The Roxy Theatre)
+ ANNE MONTONE and MULATTO
APRIL 27-29 **Gotta give big props to COACHELLA **
And each year has a theme. Last year we were Spinning and Drifting. Rule number One: don’t drop into Coachella at like 5pm on Saturday. You’ll try to catch up too fast. (last seen holding onto fake rock and tree while they appear to be spinning and drifting in a sea of Depeche Mode fans). This year, we’ve named it Coachmella. Lookin forward to chillin with y’all in the desert. So raise those incense sticks high in the air and turn up those radio dials….windows down..grace slick blaring to the sky…coachmella here we come.
and don’t sleep on the NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FESTIVAL. No better time than now to continue to show your support for one of America’s most amazing cities. Another yearly ritual of mine…and I must go. I love New Orleans.
One must not sleep. One must not rest. Not yet…maybe never..cause the shows keep comin and this is how we like it - bam -
