Officially Stoked - West Coast Tour Dates

YARO!
yes yallz, have we got some good times ahead. My brother told me that 2009 is the "year of the blossoming flower" (at least one translation, it could also be "the enlightenment") in the Mayan tradition, so we have picked an auspicious time to watch it grow. Two months ago we had an idea and now we have a plan. It's moving toward Spring and we are finally seeing some shoots. We officially will be rocking shows from here to Texas, with room to connect with people and check out the world in between. Here is what it looks like:

February 13 - Portland OR - Tour Kickoff Benefit show at the Hush/Aftermath, w/True MC, DRE, Improv Logic, Night Crawlers, Ink:rementals, $5+Donations, 14 NW 3rd Ave, above Tube. (did I mention this is an Album release party? oh?)

February 14 - Eugene OR - Show Me Your Ink is a monthly night of art and music that apparently goes down above a storefront just near U of O. We will bring the party of space travelers with Start Fires, True MC and DRE plus live installation painting by Mady Hampton and Thrashley Caustic. (and hopefully a late night loop pedal set by Cantino!)

February 15 - Orleans CA - We will be sharing art and music over food and good drink at Karis' Cabin, while learning about the life of one Permaculture farm that manages to survive well in our society.

February 16 - San Francisco CA - Network Mondays at the Azul Lounge (1 tillman place, sf) seems to be a dope spot for heads to kick flows, connect and have some drinks. Its hosted by a guy named Sellassi who raps about cultural issues and politics from the perspective of a positive black man. We are going to come through to rock some songs and freestyles and see who is out there killin it. Also we will be celebrating our homegirl Marcia's birthday so yeah, lets get crunk.

February 19 - Riverside CA - Apparently a bunch of indie hip hop tours are converging on this date at a place called The Pharaohs Den. They are a collectively run art and music center, which includes performance and recording space. We will be rocking early on in the night, but with a bunch of dope emcees (and vegan food if you show up around 5) you can't really miss on this night.

February 28th - Phoenix AZ - I was searching out interesting emcees in Pheonix and came across Kite93 from the Canyon Animal crew. These guys have a house to hold shows in and on the 28th Adverse (Dorian 3) is coming through along with a whole bunch of dope emcees.

That brings us to March, which I know will include at least one party during SXSW in Austin, a Space Traveller Party in Flagstaff, and a night of dissent at Sedition Books in houston. More on that soon ----

ps: i have been packing up my life here at one34....lots of paper.
