Hey, Happy Thursday!
Thanks for all coming out last week in the masses to support Mike Magana
and Howe Lin! They play The Good Life at the Bungalow Club every 4th
Thursday of the month so go check them out! Of course the Champagne Happy
Hour went down a treat too. Special thanks to Eric Sharp who was down from
SF headlining the Fusion party on Sat night but played an opening set for
us on Friday night. That's a good attitude. He rocked the place too, so
props to him.
This week Pocket O.F. presents Darin Westcott and Nic Fiorina (EM
Sundays, Spider AfterDark)
Both of these guys play each week to screaming hordes at Avalon, Larchmont
and Joesephs so should be quite an evening! I'll be doing the opening set
so get yourself down early to hear me play!
Next week we have very special guest Miles Maeda (bio included down the
bottom if you want to see who he is) Miles is one of the pioneers of
Chicago House/Rave scene back in early 90s and his set should be something
special!
Finally, Pocket O.F. will be involved in some Miami WMC shenanigans this
year. More details to follow but I'm excited about it and it should be a
hoot.
respect as always,
Cache
