Pictures From Yesterdays Show at the Yellow Room (6/16/2010)

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

Yellow room was great. That was my first time playing there and my first folk show for a couple months.There was a bunch of people and somebody even drove up from riverside to see the show. It pretty much blew my mind.. I was suprised as all hell that people got there so early and were all quite and respectful and all listening and shit . Awesome . Also somebody dressed up like scooby doo for some reason, I tried to take a picture but it was getting dark.

MIGGY Stardust at the MUTANT REFORM SCHOOL

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

“I did a set at Mutant Reform School tonight and it was fun as shit. I haven’t been to a rave in like 10 years and even though I wasn’t “tripping balls” like the last time I was at a rave I still managed to have a good time. Hella young ass kids were dancing off who fucking knows what fucking drug to an “ace of base” NIN mash up.I think I was just glad to not be the responsible person at a party for once.”

Wild Babies Last Night (6/11/10) at Victory in Oakland

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Much like peanut butter and jelly, WildBabies is an amalgamation of two nutty (Jah), sweet (Ian) and yummy (Felice) things that always prove for a messy time. So thanks a milli guys for knocking the shit out of my ass then into my shoes, forever ruining my vans. Also, Summer Blondes were sexier than that one girl at Whole Foods…

HOODSTOCK BROOKLYN – May 2010 Report Back

Friday, May 28th, 2010
Sorry it took so long… I’m still recovering!

Hoodstock Brooklyn was complete insanity. Everyone was fucking awesome and New York showed us so much love. Somewhere around 1,000 people crammed into a space we knew wouldn’t be big enough for half that many and everyone managed to live.

Pessamist and Beme represented for the town and Handsome Neto had Bedstuy going dumb for sure. Cerebral Balzy , who are coming to Oakland on the 22nd, completely fucking killed it .

If there was anyone still for some reason not absolutely dripping with sweat Japanther soaked them and were also the band that finally got me to stop stressing and just fucking dance.

Ninjasonik got everyone going crazy and with the help of Matt and Kim pushed everything into absolute chaos.

Rusty Lazer and Big Freedia got everyone shaking and Freedia’s dancer’s hypnotic asses memorized a frantic crowd and then me (Miggy Stardust) and Dirtyfinger ended it with a dance party that went until around 4:30…

“Whatever you did this weekend probably wasn’t as bezerk as the Bed-Stuy version of Hoodstock, an Oakland party exported to Willoughby Avenue on Saturday that brought New Orleans sissy bounce star Big Freedia to Brooklyn.” – The Village Voice

Rebecca Smeyne took these and about 60 more for The Village Voice:

“If you were not at hoodstock tonight you missed out and I am sorry. It was an amazing show!” – Matt and Kim
