Come back for next week for Side B, mixed by Action Jackson!

Well, turns out I wasn’t a very good blogger while touring. Better luck next time, and on to the new plan: Rad Summer has expanded into a permanent project! You can expect us to be throwing off the wall parties, booking events and tours, posting up all sorts of next-level music on radsummer.com, and maybe even releasing some music and apparel.

In the short term though, we’ve got a new weekly party in Bloomington about to start later this month: DAFT CRUNK! We’re kicking it off a week from Friday, and have a pre-launch party this Friday:

As well there’s a major overhaul in the works here at the Rad Summer site. We’ll be posting up our schedule real soon (you can already see it here), and this site’s going be posted on by a handful of bloggers from the Bloomington scene and beyond. We’ve got a podcast in the works too, starting off with a mixtape containing remixes, edit, blends, and original tracks from all the performers we’ve got performing as Daft Crunk special guests—and tracks from the home team as well: Flufftronix, Action Jackson, and Paul Huett/Everything Continues. Yuuuuuuuuaa!!

I’m not gonna lie, LA is soooooo much driving and sooooooo many jerkz! But these are only the people who we randomly encounter on the street or like bulldozing into me while trying to navigate the club. Everyone we’ve actually met, totally rad. Like italics and bold totally rad. Scope this complimentary lunch at an OC hippie mall:

And here’s us being way less psyched looking than we actually are

We’re playing the Daft Punk afterhours party tonight the TTL folks are setting up, which is kind of amazing given the surreal, nonsensical, and quite possibly impossible to listen to interview we did for their radio show yesterday. Like I said, good peeps. Good peeps.

(not vegan!)

To the start of tour, that is. I spent all of the past two days clearing up my driver’s license so I can rent a vehicle out here in LA to drive up to Seattle, and finally got that done just in time to catch my flight. Got the car, drove it to the place I’m staying at, and promptly got towed the next morning for blocking someone’s driveway. I really don’t think I was blocking it but here’s what the windshield looked like when we I got it back from the impound lot:

Asshole Fuck! Haha.

Heyyyyy’all welcome to Straight Outta Nowhere Central! The site’s just about ready for prime time, with tour dates all posted up and some tracks for download. It’s only pay stuff right now, but we’ll definitely be throwing some promo stuff on here soon too.
