bradm Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 LAB PROJECT Environment Is this the "Live Ambience & Beats Project" that's been done in Montreal a couple of times? Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think those productions in Montreal are something different, more musician based..... I know the guy that puts on the Montreal shows used to be in Parkside Jones (or still is if they are still around), by the name of Matt Lederman with Moondata Productions. A cool cat, with a great vision! Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted April 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Brad - Not really too sure. The info was passed on to me, and I thought it sounded out of this world. Kind of a wierd trippy forest rave or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Mmmm, this looks very interesting and boreal, cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 This party *should* be crazy. I work for the Wilderness Committee (the charity that is getting part of the proceeds to help the boreal forest), and I'll be working at our table there all night. If anyone's coming, come say hi to me. It's gonna be cool, the table will be in a chill out area with pictures of boreal forest all around and comfy couches and stuff. And there's also a yoga workshop that starts at 8, so come early if you want to join in. Oh, and costumes are encouraged. Yay for costumes. And yay for the non-smokingness of this event.

Booche Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 As crazy as this story I read on PT? This story is too long and detailed to tell every detail of, but it happened after a Dead show at RFK in 94. I'd been eating a lot of acid over a one month period and something happened that night and I just went off the deep end. A guy dosed me with two hits that just said "Bunk" on the paper and I went off like never before. I tripped all night, convinced I was telepathically communicating with the band. This spiraled into a conspiracy theory involving the government and DC and Dead tour. I ended up getting in a van with a guy who was vending and was heading to Deer Creek, leaving my car and my buddy behind (without telling him). When my weird behavior finally freaked this guy out enough the next morning, he kicked me out the van somewhere in Western Maryland in the middle of nowhere. I'm not hallucinating at this point, just lost in some kind of psychotic state. I ended up wandering around town, jumped in a boxcar of a train for a while and finally ended up taking all my clothes off and crossing a main street in this little town buck naked. Someone spotted me as I was crossing the street and called the cops. I was arrested for indecent exposure, spent a (weird) night in jail and then had to be picked up by my parents. Needless to say, I didn't take any acid for a LONG time after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I haven't even done half of that shit- so yes that's a really crazy story. And that Spellbound party looks good. I'm debating going after Mayfair but the books still out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Fetish Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 the group I work with is invovled with creating an awareness raising kiosk of info for the evening- so far none of the parties we've had a hand in have been anything but great fun. this headlining DJ- Bassnector sounds super cool. I recommend heading out too- location is right at Queen and Spadina or there abouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunkyb Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Larry is a good friend of mine. His parties are a blast! Come and check it out, there is lots going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairySari Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hey everyone... due to unforseen weather circumstances, SPELLBOUND has been moved to SPIN GALLERY at 1100 Queen W. If you show up at the orginal venue, there should be people there to direct you to, and probably even shuttle you to the new venue. Anyone planning on coming? I'll be there .

Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 EVOLVE just did a pre-party with Bassnectar last night in Halifax... from all reports it was funky insanity.. i'll be there tonight.... It's a fairy party, so if you plan to go dress up... KING SUNSHINE are deadly... 10 piece electronic band complete with 2-3 horns, percussion, bass, drums, geetar and 2-3 singers.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 JUST ANNOUCED LORIN BASSNECTAR - San Francisco HEADLINER DJ FOR EVOLVE Music and Awareness Festial Deep, hypnotic freak-hop, mashed-up breaks, massive basslines, all rolled up into a quivering sonic spliff... strictly for bass nymphos. Lorin Bassnectar plays with Spearhead sometimes and jams with Michael Kang (SCI). He is the rock-star of DJs.. he's totally into the tunes, dancin', freakin' out.. it was quite a show, his set the highlight... the venue was a Art Studio, and what a time.. it was so much fun... and a sea of freaky kids that looked like fairies. I had a blast. Best Electronic show I've seen in a long time. He is known for playing Shambala and Burning Man Festivals. His CD has a whole bunch of Noam Chomsky spoken word. it's wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
