Erik Engstrom Of HORSE the band Fame Has Departed For A Second Time…

Posted on September 11, 2009 by

After a three day stopover which saw us viewing the remainder of the Earth Tour footage and finalizing plans for the Earth Tour DVD set.. now slated for a January 2010 release.

In several week’s time, HORSE will release their fourth album- Desperate Living.

It is an exceptional piece of work and a nice preview track is available here

After Thirteen Days Of Rehabilitation

Posted on September 6, 2009 by

My leg is still bum.. although it seems to be slowly healing.
Had to get an hour-long ultrasound today as the doctor was concerned about blood clot complications + stated that it will probably take six more weeks to fully heal.
🙁

But this will provide plenty of time to focus on various editing projects and we’ve got a stereo-strapped wheelchair ready to roll for DDP#2 next weekend. Also found a sweet party spot and we’re doubling the number of boomboxes to 32- should be good times!
And in the meantime, here’s part one of the Lynn Canyon footage:

First Decentralized Dance Party Video Now Online!

Posted on September 2, 2009 by

Our expectation was to storm Vancouver’s 3rd beach with a team of boombox-armed infantrymen and women, blaring synchronized 90’s Dance + Booty Bass and overwhelming what we predicted would be a 100-strong beach party in full swing.

We arrived to discover about 10 people and no hint of a party.. but once we pumped up the jams and started cutting loose, a modest crowd began to form, growing steadily as the night progressed, with all manner of passersby compelled to join us and get down.

A pretty good test run and a pretty good time!

After Nine Days Of Rehabilitation,

My leg is still bum.

Thanks to a weird accident up in Lynn Canyon.. and then biking around the city + returning to Lynn Canyon before it had a chance to fully heal.

But at least some good footage and productive editing sessions came of it…

Hopefully she’ll be healed enough to enjoy DDP #2 and all the other excitement we’ve got planned for this next month… 🙂

Terribly sorry, but

Haven’t updated in awhile.. been focusing on Decentralized Dance Party .com and creating the teaser for the new HORSE the band DVD “We Flooded It And There’s Yoghurt Everywhere AKA 48 Hrs In Ukraine“.

And while the HORSE teaser and DVD are completed and ready to go and we’re very excited to share them, Vagrant, HORSE’s new record label is of the opinion that a DVD release anywhere near the October release of HORSE’s new album Desperate Living would somehow hinder CD sales or confuse/panic the marketplace.. which seems insanely illogical.

If anything, the film would be a great promotional tool.
It’s all very frustrating, but that is life, and the DVD + teaser won’t be getting released now for like another 4 months… oh well.

But plenty of other good things are in the works, like the First Ever Decentralized Dance Party video+teaser, which are looking great, and will surely inspire widespread exuberance.
