It’s pretty slim for now since I haven’t resized many of my pictures, but I’ll be taking care of that soon and there should be a good selection in the near future. For now, there’s a couple of pictures up. You can check them out by clicking the “Pictures, etc.” link in the right hand sidebar.
I’ve been playing out with these guys quite a bit lately. They’re gaining a good following in the Tahoe area with good reason. You can check them out @ myspace/hotbusiness or hotbusinessband.com. The tunes are mostly improvised with a mixture of funk, rock, prog and trance. I’ll probably open up with some funky hiphop (the classics of course) and with my outgoing song, Preston comes in on the drums, followed by Bryan on the bass and before you know it Hot Business is taking it away with a jam that builds off of whatever tune is fading out. They’ve also got Jason from Saturn Rising to join them again on guitar, and their show this past Saturday kicked ass. It’s great party music, so get your drinking shoes on and come out to Mo’s on Sunday 3/14 around 9pm.
After speaking to a local promoter who is looking for hiphop DJs, I put together this quick 37 minute mix. There’s a little scratch session right off the bat on the first track, moves through a few different vibes of hiphop and a couple of mashups before leaving off with some funky triphop.
