Photoset from The Reader's B-Side Booze Cruise!

Chuck (from Ghosthouse) didn't see that bear hug coming
Photos from last month's Chicago Reader's B-Side Booze Cruise featuring Ghosthouse, Moon Boots + Rogue Vogue, and of course, yours truly are now up at A/S/L Media! If you didn't make it, we certainly missed you, but we still managed to have a little fun. *wink*

I love this one!

LA*JESUS APPEARING AT REHAB, THIS MONDAY 9/10

After sharing the bill with the good dudes Team Bayside High last weekend, and apparently impressing the bejesus out of 'em, they wasted little time asking me to come through and rock the headline slot at their long running dance party Rehab, at Debonair Social Club in Chicago's Wicker Park, this Monday night 9/10.

Adding my name to the long list of amazing talent who has graced the decks there is a treat, to say the least. Can't wait to blow up that party and make some more believers out of 'em!

Hosted 312 Urban Wheat Ale and Reyka Vodka 10-11 pm with RSVP at DO312.

I had a blast hanging with Scott Drasler (Party Line Chicago) and Emma Arnold (Trés Awesome) at North Coast Music Festival on Sunday. Not a bad thing hanging with TWO photographers! Emma included this sweet shot in a post today featuring stylin' individuals seen at the fest.

Last night's North Coast Music Festival After Party at Cobra Lounge was SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks to everyone who came out and got down and showed me SO MUCH LOVE!!! I am truly blessed to have you show up ready to take a ride with me, and lose yourself and forget about everything.


Before.

That's what it's like up there for me. It's like time stops. The rest of the world may as well not even exist, there is only you, me and the connection we share through the music.


After.

It was great shaking Dan Deacon's hand and giving him some respect. Per usual, he set up on the floor with his back to the crowd, allowing all to see exactly what he was doing. Some may have been a little thrown by his set; he stuck with familiar old school jams like "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and "Ignition" and even "What's Your Fantasy", but folks were willing to go right along with it.


Dan Deacon('s shiny head and laptop).

Team Bayside High are seriously some Party Professionals, their song doesn't lie. Their set was dynamite, lots of unexpected twists and turns. I've got mad respect for them and what they've been able to do in Chicago. Credit where credit is due, they were instrumental in putting our city back on the map as a major player on dance music's world stage.

All in all, an amazing night was had. I couldn't even manage to sleep in this morning, I woke up and immediately was replaying the night in my head. If you were there, thank you so incredibly much, hope to see you back out in the world again sometime soon. If you weren't there, come out sometime and see what you've been missing.

Much Love,
LA*

Tonight I return to the scene of insanity from one year ago this weekend... Cobra Lounge for another North Coast Music Festival After Party. This time around I'll be warming up the stage for local party heroes Team Bayside High, and the incomparable Dan Deacon.

Can't wait to see what the night brings. Last year's NCMF After ended up being one of the most raucous shows I played all year. I'll be doing my part to see that this show's one of the best times YOU'LL have THIS year. Let's do this!!!

You can still purchase tickets here til 7pm Saturday night.
