What’s Up, Leafers?

Hey everyone, I know that I’m long overdue for a new post, and these opening paragraph apologies are probably getting old for everybody who still checks the site despite my inconsistencies. Enough of rambling though, let’s get down to business. Here’s a video from the recent Lazerdisk Party Sex event: LAZERDISK PARTY BOAT. Video credit goes to Garrett Burns of Triple Take Media.

The Party Boat was a huge success, and it was really quite the experience for my first time ever performing on a boat. No stranger to LDPS, Josh Franklin was there taking pictures of the event, and they came out great. Here are a few samples of the night:

What’s been going on:

I’ve been staying busy producing for LDPS. Since I last posted, our remix of “Pony” by Ginuwine got to #3 on The Hype Machine, and we entered a remix of Wynter Gordon’s “Dirty Talk” in an official remix competition through Masterbeat. I’m currently working on a new original track that will be featured in a mix that ZJ and I are putting together. All of our production is available through our soundcloud page.

I played at Higher Ground for the first time, back in mid-September when LDPS opened for Ozomatli. It was a lot of fun, especially because I have seen so many shows at Higher Ground, and I was finally allowed to play on stage. It was very cool for me. Here are some shots of the Higher Ground show as well as when we played at The Red Square on Labor Day weekend. Photos courtesy of Josh Franklin:

Planck has been moving along steadily, and there is currently a whole lot of polish going on with the first playtest build.  A new playtest will be available through the Shadegrown Games website within the next couple of weeks. This past weekend we spent a lot of time working out kinks and making it a much more well-rounded product. Planck has been featured on a bunch of different independent game websites and blogs, and it seems like people are digging it. I certainly am, and I’m very excited to see what comes of it.

Coming up:

October and November are both traveling months for LDPS. We have plans to travel every weekend to different venues, cities, and states. If you go to UNH, Middlebury, The University of Maine, Ithaca, or Syracuse, be on the lookout for a Lazerdisk Party Sex show coming to you. We will also be in Portland, ME for the weekend of October 22nd to DJ an afterparty for a Matchstick Productions movie premiere.

To top off the next two months of playing outside of Vermont, we will make our triumphant return to the Green Mountain State by headlining “The Black Light Black Out” at Higher Ground with help from our friends from I’M PARTYING. We are already planning our lightshow, designing our set, and planning a whole new musical experience for the night. It truly is the next step for Lazerdisk Party Sex, and I hope you can be a part of it.
