surf’s up, beach dazed!

The events which transpired on Saturday were incredibly important to our development as a FMLY. All involved pushed to the limit and certainly over the edge, those who attended were fantastic and respectful guests, and the sounds that were shared thread so deeply into our understanding of community rhythm it is RIDIC! Endless thank yous go out to RipLee, ‘REALLY, very’, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Best Coast, Haim, [Post-foetus], DJDT, Pizza!, Evan Voytas, Busdriver, Voxtrot, and RJD2 – without your contributions towards our shared experiences the energy created Saturday could not have been accomplished.

A collage of unified movement was arranged by DJDT (pictured and video’d above), throwback sing-a-longs were dished out by Voxtrot’s lack of a keyboard leaving them no choice but to hit up the early EPs, and with [Post-foetus] came the attention and silence of a night for no waves can command more entrancement of an audience than Will Weisenfeld’s imagination…and more than a few jokes about how shit sucks dick.

My inability to stop moving left me catching bits and pieces of the day, but my high point was certainly watching Evan Votyas manage his cassettes directly in the sun followed by Best Coast regulating the sweet summer vibes indoors. Big ups to the Ice Cream Man for capturing so many hearty faces, Noah Diamond for recording the most epic DJDT video, and every supporter of Saturday.

We’ll be posting more photos and video as they appear, but for the moment here is a quick visual recap of Beach Dazed. Thanks for the awesome experience. For more photos and probably some of you and your pals, please refer to the Ice Cream Man, No Electro and King Diamond Kid.

Do you remember the first time that you listened to Deadringer all the way through, cleaning your jaw off of the floor while trying to recollect your previous conception of what hip-hop production was…or maybe that was just us. We are honored to announce our secret and very special guest headliner, Ramble John Krohn better known as RJD2. RJD2’s sound will fit perfectly into our night as we blaze through Beach Dazed at Out of Asia. Grab a drink, hop in the pool, and make some fucking epic memories.
