As Busy P’s expertly Photoshopped show flyer should have told you, this past weekend of jams at the Coachella festival was a veritable FG family reunion. Brothers! Sisters! French cousins! But we’re back now (sunburnt, caffeinated, blogging) and the fruits of our festival self-Googling are yours after the jump. More added as we find ’em. Read More
If you’re in NYC tonight (Tues 4/29), head over to Lotus and help celebrate the “Super Sweet 16” of supreme party-thrower and girl about town Va$htie. Happy born day! Fool’s Gold’s own Kid Cudi will be performing along with supa deejay Cipha Sounds and a bunch of other good folks. Flyer after the jump. Read More
What’s been up with space-age slapatician and Fool’s Gold’s resident East Bay representer Trackademicks? Earlier this month, he dropped the second volume of his Remixtape series, which you can download here while reading track-by-track (hiyo!) commentary from the producer himself over on the Trackademia blog. Want more? Dude’s handiwork is all over the new Lyrics Born album, which dropped this past Tuesday. And guess what! Last week also saw Track (and the Honor Roll crew) rocking with us at the SF stop of the Fool’s Gold x Dim Mak tour, video of which is watchable over here. Yee! Check for Track’s “Enjoy What You Do” single (backed with some big remixes as well as b-side banger “Topsidin”) out on your favorite gold-plated independent record label later this summer.
I was in Boston early this morning on a connecting flight from LA. They lost my bags. Yaahh trick yaahh, Logan Airport! Kid Sis was in Boston a week or two ago having a significantly better time. Check out this behind-the-scenes video of our girl doing radio promo runs and hitting the clurrrrb, courtesy of our friends at Karmaloop.TV
When we went up to Vancouver for the “Screaming Bloody Murder” tour, Paul Devro posted up an mp3 of Sammy Bananas’ “All The Girls,” a fun lil remix built off NERD’s “Everyone Nose,” on the Mad Decent blog. Download it here for some handy digitized summer fun, and check back for new Sammy joints very soon.
More asbestos! More asbestos! Um, we mean “blogs.” Check out video, pics and gum-flapping from our shows in Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle, and San Francisco over at thefader.com.
The Fool’s Gold fam will be at the Coachella festival this weekend getting sunburnt beyond belief radical tans and playing some music. On Sunday, you can check A-Trak and Kid Sister on the Gobi Stage and Chromeo on the Sahara Stage (full festival calendar here) and on Saturday you can check LA Riots, Flosstradamus, Nick Catchdubs and XXXChange playing the boosted mobile “Desert Poppin Pool Party” at the Mod Resort, 10 minutes away from the festival grounds (RSVP is a must).
This tour has been smashing so far – and you still have a chance to party with us in Seattle tonight and San Francisco tomorrow! Meanwhile, check a slew of pics, video and anecdotes from the NYC to Toronto to Montreal to Philly leg of the tour over at The FADER blog.
At the Fool’s Gold WMC show, Nacho Lovers dropped a Cutty Ranks vocal edit of Style of Eye’s “The Big Kazoo” that had all the earlybirds in the place doing that Tim Allen “huuurrrh?!” surprise noise and wondering just what the hell was going on. Well, now the likely lads have it up on the internet for the world to enjoy. Send fi di hacksaw! Take out di tongue!
Friends united! Fool’s Gold’s own Treasure Fingers will be rocking with our pals from Fully Fitted, XXXChange and Devlin & Darko, tonight at Hiro Ballroom in NYC (which we TORE DOWN last week on the Screaming Bloody Murder tour, pics and video up soon…) It’s free with RSVP and there’s some kind of open bar dealy so basically you’re the buster of the year if you miss it to stay home and watch Law and Order or some such.
