This month, Blake is back, Eddie is on one, and Shelley doubles up on obits. Matt ’81 and I head down to Santa Barbara Plaza, behind the location of of Body & Soul’s “Dance to the Drummer’s Beat” video aka the Baldwin-Crenshaw Plaza, to check out the collection at Oran Z’s Pan African Black Facts & Wax Museum. Welcome to Pussyfoot.

Busdriver and I will be playing the Rhymesayers curated underground hip-hop festival Soundset in the exurbs of Minneapolis, MN. There’s a massive lineup of rappin’ talent.

New episode of the Matt & Matt & Eddie & Shelley & Blake show, this month with legendary knuckler Charlie Hough and a stop by the World Famous Crochet Museum. Unfortunately this month, Blake is MIA, but Eddie redoubles his efforts to flip on his listeners, and Shelley brings twice the pizazz to her obit. Welcome to Pussyfoot.

I gave my buddy Them Jeans a tad bit of mix assistance on his remix of Yeasayers’ track “O.N.E.” Check out the remix, and if you like the way I separated the bass kicks from the bassline, give it a vote!

“What Were We So Afraid Of?” from It’s Free, But It’s Not Cheap

It’s the soundtrack to Levis‘ campaign with Facebook.
Thanks guys!

Busdriver and I are cruising down to San Diego to play an Ocean Beats event and Winston’s with the dude Eliot Lipp. It’s a DJ-friendly thing, should be a lot of beats, mostly instrumental.

MAY 01 – SAN DIEGO, CA @ WINSTON’S BEACH CLUB (w/ Eliot Lipp)

As the vernal equinox is upon us, we’ve put together a selection of psychedelic sounds to usher in the Spring season for this month’s Pussyfoot. Also, Matt D. stopped in Alma, Arkansas while I was in Australia and pieced together their connection with everyone’s favorite one-eyed sailor/Bob Altman muse.

Busdriver and I will be touring the West Coast of the US with Rjd2 in April. We start in Denver and then work our way up the 5. Playing first of three is RJ’s bandmate Happy Chichester, so it’s basically a redo of the tour from 2007.

I posted up almost all of my pics from Busdriver and I’s trip to Australia in March to my Flickr page. I didn’t color correct anything, but I think a tone is set.

Busdriver and I will be making our way back down to Australia for the first time in a couple years. I, for my part, am really pumped. It’s been far too long. We’ll be hanging/playing with my buds from Clue To Kalo in Adelaide, and as our festival in Brisbane was recently cancelled and repackaged, we’ll be playing with Lou Barlow, One One/Can Can (Deerhoof/Tennicoats), et al in Brisbane.
