In other news…CUSTODIAN is heading up to New Mexico in just a few days to perform at The Albuquerque Film Festival. According to the website, “The Albuquerque Film Festival is a community organization dedicated to celebrating writers, filmmakers, musicians, and artists from around the globe whose visions break rules and startle the imagination.” I’m not sure I could describe CUSTODIAN any better if I tried.

Alert your New Mexico brethren that their weekend just got more interesting. My only question…are they going to check the horse head? You can find CUSTODIAN set times HERE!

They refer to Explains it All as “sample-crazy,” and “ready for your summer party!”  It is hard to argue with that!

“[Laughs.] Yeah, if you have to call it something, call it “electro-fun” or “hyper-core.” It’s full-on personality. It’s like reading a blog in real time—it’s interactive music. I want to push people’s buttons and give them a new experience, and be a communicator as opposed to a musician. I’m a musical communicator. [Laughs.]”

A TON of great photos from the release show have been posted by the Peen Scene! Check them all out HERE!

Neiliyo’s Game Night is available on iTunes HERE.

We want to take time to thank all the people that made it happen. The staff of Club Deville was so accommodating in letting us turn their bar into a playground….a playground with free-flowing whiskey. Fizzy Dino Pop got us going with wild projections and funky sound. Team Fabrication proved they are some of the hardest working djs out there by keeping us dancing and smiling all night. Our new friends over at 512 Unscripted provided great coverage for the event. And we wouldn’t dream of throwing a shindig like this without our friend Leah Ross there to document it all. We also are excited that Jen from Peen Scene turned out to photograph the shenanigans. Stay tuned…as photos and footage start rolling in, we’ll keep you posted!

Of course, we can’t forget the man of the hour. Neiliyo brought the freaking house down. There was never a doubt that Neiliyo was the man to pull an event like this off, and he did not disappoint. People danced (and hop scotched!) their asses off, sweat poured, bottles were spun, and an evening of memories was made. We wish we could accurately describe the heart and sincerity of last night’s performance, but words wouldn’t do it justice. Neiliyo, we salute you!

The biggest thanks of all goes out to all of you that came out and got your game on. Remember to download your EP (using your secret slap-bracelet link) ASAP- the link will not work forever!

It was magical to see this idea come to life. Thank you all for your continued support.

“Relationships are just so much extra baggage when you’re a pretty young thing. Better to spend Valentine’s Day with your true loves: swilling cheap booze and rubbing bony shoulders with fellow bo-hoes under the Beauty Bar disco ball. This Valentine’s, local supergroup Swiss seeks to reunite you with some old flames—specifically anoraks, Billy Corgan-fed angst, and other not-quite-forgotten gems from the ’90s like Semisonic’s “Closing Time.” Its covers could crash this hearts-and-chocolates shindig into wedding-band territory were it not for the combined talents of the musicians involved—past lineups have included members of Hum, The Poster Children, Mineral, and National Skyline. Mash-up cupid Car Stereo (Wars) trains his arrows on those and other bands that peaked before the dot-com bubble burst, while ‘Til We’re Blue Or Destroy wraps its broken heart in bright melodies and glittering synths.”

This is a GREAT show because anytime Swiss gets together from all corners of the country- it is a good time.  No doubt….. which, is a band they very well might do an amazing cover of…

Here are some pictures from the last DJ CS(W) show at Beauty Bar from Infamous Austin.

Happy Valentine’s Day yall!

“Car Stereo (Wars)’ set definitely kept things going and even made sure to kick it up a few more notches while they were at it. Who knew you could throw such good dance parties with a Macbook? Chris Rose definitely does, and he took this to his favor when he ushered and mixed one hell of a dance party at Fun Fun Fun. With another local Austinite, Neiliyo, at his side to MC the proceedings, the blue stage turned into a veritable mudfest with not a single person ever caught in a moment of stagnance. Everyone was moving as the beats were flowing from the speakers without break. Never a moment of silence to be had, it was a nonstop dance party from start to finish and Neiliyo took to the crowd to assure everyone kept dancing. Rose from behind the crowd that had now formed on stage to stretch the dance party even further, would occasionally join the banter of Neiliyo to make sure he was providing us with just what we needed to keep our joints greased. No matter where you looked everyone was dancing, and the people responsible for all of this were lost in the crowd making sure to keep everything going – Rose hidden amidst the crowd on the stage; Neiliyo partying incognito with the crowd in the mud pit below. With the rain still coming down, it was wet and dirty – those responsible for the tunage being mixed by Rose woulda been proud.“

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH!

Austin blogger all-star  Ultra 8201 was there to grab some snap shots, you can see the photo to the left  and many more on the site HERE!

The Fun Fun Fun Fest set went great thanks in part to the help of Neiliyo who resumed his duties as DJ CS(W) MC after honing the craft in Chicago at Lollapolloza.  The Peen Scene was there to document the muddy and sweaty fans getting down.   Check out this picture and many more HERE!

There are still copies of the debut DJCS(W) album the Bandit complete with a one of a kind mustache on the cover available for purchase HERE.  Impress your friends.

The Laughing opened for the Ting Tings at a sold out The Parish last Sunday the 19th. The Austin American Statesman was there and took these photos.
