Volectrix Tour
Review

So My
trip to san fran for the first part of the mini tour was great. I stayed at
Kid Beyond’s house. He was a great host. I met some new friends so I wanna
shout them out : Peace to Mouse, Vivian, Chaos, and Neon Leon. It was a
blast recording with you Neon. Oh and Mouse I owe you a session! The
perfomance was great. Butterscotch came all the way from Sacramento to
perform for this She did a small set. Like 10 minutes! But it was to minutes
of beautiful music and she has a great singing voice. Each and I though had
to scramble and did a duet together! Nice one Each! We got the crowd pumped!
Ok then this beat boxer and guitarist named the Genie sent the crowd on a
wild middle eastern type of vibe. The cat is so smooth! Each got up and
rocked a serious set people were like holy sh*t! I was like holy Sh*t and I
know him! Of course I did my set and I love pushing the boundaries of beat
boxing and vocal sound art my forever ending works in progress I shared and
people were like what the…? Hahahahahaha Kid Beyond said it best “this is
not your grandmothers beat boxing” this is a whole new world. This punk rock
cat started moshing to my music I loved it. And Then Kid Beyond got up and
ripped it! Had the crowd dancing and screaming I was like Kid is such a good
performer. I like Kid’s style because he is about fun in his music and
really wants the crowd to have fun! I cant wait for his album to come out.
ESP performed in between the sets and jammed with us I love those cats so
nice and the visual the mixed are dope as hell! My camera got jacked so that
pissed me off something fierce. You know I have been to San Fran using words
like fierce! So now I am off to Los Angeles for Part II of the Volectrix
tour! Hahahahahah!
Los Angeles was smoking. First K Million I must extend a hand of respect for
allowing me to stay at your space. Props to Joshua for promoting this event
at the Temple Bar. You did a hell of a job. I want to thank Nate and his
girlfriend Squeen for opening their home to me and the beat boxers for a
place to crash and a place to rehearse. I also wanna say peace to Droopy
(Keep telling those jokes brotha) Oh and I would like to say peace to
Bennetta for driving me around and showing me Los Angeles much love. Now
with that said The show was PHAT We did a performance that rocked! I started
out and brought my craziness and atmosphere but of course added in some
beats to make your head nod. I was joined by Ben Zviti who is a solid cat on
those beats. Each then came up and he kicked in another solid performance.
Young cat has mad skills he is going to be dangerous as he gets older. He
will definitely be considered one of the greats.
Kmillion
was next. He ripped it! Kmillion has a swagger on that stage that rivals the
best of them. And his beats are very hard hitting. The women really love
this guy! Joshua was next and broke it down on a lot of levels did the beat
boxing and harmonica ripped some effects. And laced it with a tribute to
doug e fresh and did a parody of La di da di. It was so funny . The emcee
who did it was of da chain! Then we did a jam session which was in my humble
opinion, HOT AS HELL!

Portland
was so much fun I first want to say that I made a real connection with a
scene in Portland. Please visit this site www.freakmountain.com Rockabilly
and country musicians! This was an amzing hook up. If I had not seen it and
been a part of it I would not have believed it: Rockabilly and hip hop! I
played at the Laurelthirst with The Freak Mountain Ramblers which was so
great to see people into rockabilly dig what I was doing. The blend of hip
hip hop beats and vocal scratching with good ol fashion rockabilly and
country music was amazing. I then did a gig with Portlands finest beat
boxers Nicoluminous and Fogatron. Nicoluminous is an amazing musician he
mixes reggae, spoken word and beat boxing into this smooth conscious blend.
Fogatron is just amazing with his sounds a real pro on it. I would like him
to take it a step further though with sounds and incorporate some skits in
there because his voices are dope as hell! Oh and then the jam session was
just so fucking hot. I wanna say thank you so much to these guys who busted
but with promotion and performing. I wanna say thank you to Catherine who
let me stay at her pad and mess it up as well as use it for my base of
operations. See you in a few weeks Catherine.
soon some video and pictures as well. I loved the West
Coast! Now its time for the east coast tour hahahahahahahahahahahaha I am so
excited!
