HOWBOWT that?

If you're around New England this weekend you should come to this awesome dual festival happening between Vassar and Wesleyan.  it's like 6 bands from each school plus 6 other touring bands are switching between the 2 campuses, and plus we'll be around both.  Vassar on thursday night plus playing over the weekend at both colleges.  Hell.  Yes.  

also go Cavs.  today rocks.

Spring on the horizon...

So now that Ohio weather is starting to cooperate a bit more, things should be a bit more condusive now to copious ammounts of music.  While dorm jamming has been great, it is time to leave these walls and play.  Right now, possibilities for JiggaWatt performances are:

-TGiF at Oberlin (possibly tomorrow, but rain is suppose to happen again so it's been a bitch trying to find a friday where it doesn't rain these days)

-WOBC Music Festival 

-Some dual music festival at Vassar and another East Coast school 

-Hessler St (aka my home for Summer 09 OH SNAP)

anyways we're just looking to play as much as we can and I'll be sure to post when things get interesting.  If you have anything, ranging from a festival to a house party, let us know and we'd be down to play.  If you're a band in a similar situation, I'd be more than happy to try and set you up with a show here, so contact me if you'd like to trade shows or anything of that nature @ jshorey@oberlin.edu

Other than that, I'm also now scheduled to teach Introduction to Turntablism next semester at Oberlin, which will be a sick class.  The catch: there's a $35 entry fee, where all the entry fees are pooled together and go towards buying 2 turntables and a mixer for the class which everyone learns on.  At the end of the year the entire class enters in a DJ Battle against themselves, where the winner walks away with the set up to call their own.  I'm excited.

Good weekend

It seems really true that when you're in the moment for long periods of time, the time goes by very fast so I'm sitting here in the dorm on Sunday realizing it's been an action-packed few days since RJD2 came Thursday.  It was a sweet show.  

There was the electrohouse show Saturday, featuring Bastille's set that brings a good vibe for a dance party.  Then Daveed and I hopped on around midnight, a kind of sloppy entrance but then we finally got flowing and we had a real great time.  

Then today we had a live set on The Live-Box with the Oberlin radio station.  The show started late because of difficulties with the mixers, so it was a repeat of the night before with a shaky start smoothing out into a solid jam.  awesome weekend overall, and enjoi

Confirmation

So both shows are down, fuck yeeeehhhhh

for those of you far away and wanting to listen to the radio show this Sunday 1 - 2 pm EST, go to http://wobc.org/ to stream from the radio waves into your brainwaves.  

Busy Week Ahoy!

So JiggaWatt has taken off in a very good way as me and Daveed have been jamming virtually every other day for the past two weeks, and this weekend we'll get to showcase what progress we've made so far.  We potentially have two shows, one being a Saturday night house electroshow with Bastille which will rock the house, and then Sunday we'll being on your radiowaves at 1pm doing a live show on WOBC, Oberlin College Radio.  So if you're a fan from afar, definitely tune in and I'll give more details once that whole thing becomes more concrete.  I'm mostly excited to play live on the radio because it's an opportunity for us to play our more trippy Flying Lotus/JDilla inspired instrumental hiphop that party drunks aren't so down with.  

woot

Fresh Punjab

So much stuff is happening at once right now - Studio B, Keep party last night, winter term - that I believe my resolution to be as musical as possible during the rest of my time at Oberlin won't be too hard.  Mucho potential.  Also, one of my favorite things I've seen happen this semester is a real emergence of different musicans around campus now being more networked, so its a good time to be alive.   

Also, more stuff on the way, get ready for a a semi-steady stream of stuff.

but for now, enjoy one of my tracks where I start using the electric drums with turntablism.
