Kamele’s Mini Mix

Also check out Ample Mammal’s (aka The Pol­ish Ambas­sador) lat­est mix.

After­wards Kamele and WeAreAroundYou will be relo­cat­ing to Port­land to work on a full length album and a book titled “How to Kill Your­self and Live to Tell About it”.

Kinda happy that Kamele’s first show got a lit­tle press cov­er­age.

Also still work­ing at The Ruby Room sling­ing $1 Draft Beers:

It was Sun­day morn­ing I think. I was sit­ting in a hot tub watch­ing the sun come up drink­ing my last round of vodka shots before fig­ur­ing out how I should start the day or end it. I was pretty amped but every­one else in the tub was naked and mak­ing out after I put on The Pol­ish Ambassador’s Pan­dora sta­tion. So I got out and found my clothes and hopped in the South­ern Coach which was still parked at The Ruby Room and headed down­town to my studio.

I just kinda laid there in a daze lis­ten­ing to the sound of high­way traf­fic and won­der­ing whether I should muster up the strength to fight this headache or just keep lying here and accept the pains of being a man after becom­ing a beast. It must of been about 5pm so I decided to go to the Ruby Room after stop­ping to say hello to my two friends who work at Dun­geon Servi­tus. After drink­ing some more at the Ruby I headed to Pokez to res­cue my friends from an irate domini­trix. We con­tin­ued to imbibe at my stu­dio and we watched High Fidelity. My phone rang and I real­ized that Bul­let wanted to go to SXSW in an hour. I wasn’t too sure if we are even going put appar­ently it was a go.

They showed up in about and hour and I just grabbed a cou­ple things and threw my couches in the back of the van. Every­one packed pretty light except for Jamie who pulled a Princess Vespa. Then we drove out to The Rive­ria to pick up the last mem­ber of our team. Not after hav­ing a final round of shots for the road. Of course I would start a 20+ hour drive with no sleep.

All in all I think I only spent $250 for the whole trip. We had no passes, wrist­bands, or press cre­den­tials. Though most of us worked for the media. Our antics were men­tioned on air on 91x. We will be back next year for SXSW 2011.

Key­hole Cabaret!

It is my first time back in the sad­dle this year. I got a new rig to try out live Sat­ur­day. I am not spin­ning vinyl for this one (don’t have enough oldie records). I got a new Korg and Nova­tion midi con­troller and am going to do live beat impro­vi­sa­tion and then throw down some sweet remix tracks of Frank Sina­tra, Mar­i­lyn Mon­roe, and other clas­sics. Check.. check it out.

It starts at 9pm at The Ruby Room.

My friend Lady Bor­gia and the lovely Vamp Tomato are per­form­ing as well.

The Hour of Power strikes San Diego. Hosted by our friends The Ruby Room. We are going to guest bar­tend and serve up $1 12oz drafts. This is hap­pen­ing every Thurs­day start­ing Jan 21st and there is no cover. Kamele has cre­ated an hour long music video com­pi­la­tion that some­what resem­bles 1980’s era MTV on acid. Stir­ring up good tunes and some nos­tal­gia all to $1 drafts.

So Thurs­day 7:00pm — 8:00pm come in for dol­lar beer and then stay for the free enter­tain­ment of the evening.

Santa’s, elves, and drunk­ards gath­ered around a cov­ered pool table at the Ruby Room on Sun­day to par­take in what one bystander said was “The great toy mas­sacre of 2009″.

These cacoph­o­n­ist caroler’s, these unholy hedo­nists, the naughty noel mak­ers cre­ated what they called “toys” for all the good boys and girls of the word. Lit­tle did every­one know that there were no more good boys or girls left as Santa Beast posted the naughty list on the door of The Ruby Room and it con­tained every­one. There is no “Nice” list. These toys were melted, maimed, mutated, and cut into pieces by a Neuro surgeon’s Dremel tool.

Moral was kept up in the sweat­shop by the con­stant flow of beer and whiskey to the sub­mis­sive elves. The beer was called “Vel­vet Merkin” which is a fit­ting name for what one elf attached to the crotch region of a muti­lated Bar­bie doll.

San­ta­Con is this Sat­ur­day. Come out and say “Ho HO RAWR!”

Santa’s helper’s have been naughty

Santa (aka Kris Kringle) known in San Diego as the “Jolly Red Marauder” just said that he is “Sick of the fuck­ing cold ass North Pole” and in between long swigs from an unla­beled whiskey bot­tle he con­tin­ues “Mrs. Claus is being a sore bitch, I think she is always on the rag… I’m just sick of it.”

Santa turns to find one of his many lit­tle elves (aka Santa’s Lit­tle Helpers) passed out. After a few swift kicks to the chest the elf rises up slowly and scam­pers off curs­ing under his breath.

This Sun­day Santa will be at The Ruby Room. Due to it’s very red theme and it’s avail­abil­ity of tall cans of Santa’s Blue Rib­bon with a Merry lit­tle shot of Whiskey. Santa has moved his work­shop to Hillcrest.

Since most of the elves are passed out drunk or try­ing to score at Flick’s it seems that Santa needs help mak­ing gifts for all the naughty boys and girls.

Gift cre­at­ing sta­tions include:

*Santa Beast’s Zom­bie stuffed ani­mal sta­tion where you can make cute ani­mals into hor­ri­ble zom­bies.
*The nefar­i­ous Dr M. has sup­plied some tools to “enhance” plas­tic and ceramic fig­ures which may resem­ble Bar­bie get­ting a nose job in Tijuana.
* Sac­ri­le­gious Santa will be up to no good help­ing out the evil Doc­tor and the deranged Hol­i­day Night Beast.
*Also fan favorite and local leg­end Piratey Santa may make an appear­ance if she is not pil­lag­ing and plun­der­ing else­where and she is not busy sit­ting on Santa’s lap will be help­ing gift wrap coal for all the naughty boys and girls.

It starts at Happy Hour (6pm) and ends when all the Santa’s Pass out.
