[RECAP] "Blow Up the Moon" Photos & Wrap Up

DJ Doriana auf die einsen und zweien

This past Wednesday night was "Blow Up the Moon", a night of bands, booze, and DJs hosted by Hosey. Catch my recap and some photos after the jump...

[LIVE] Hosey at Otto's Shrunken Head July 27th, 10pm

It's that time of year again! When Hosey takes over Otto's Shrunken Head for an entire night. "Blow Up the Moon" is the theme, as Hughes and I will be making a moon-shaped pinata for your smashing enjoyment. We'll be performing, of course, along with our good friends Intuitions and Proxima Control. Out front Hosey will DJ between band sets. 

[LIVE] Hosey at Goodbye Blue Monday June 18th, 9pm

 Wow. It's been about a year since Hosey last played a show (we've done some performances in the meantime as our side project, Goodbye Bikini Island, which you may have caught). On Saturday, June 18th we will play a set of new and very different material at Goodbye Blue Monday in Brooklyn (see map). GBM is an awesome little venue with a stage inside and a patio out back where bands perform. We will be on the back patio at 9pm. Bands will be playing inside and outside all night. The cover is only $5, and you can be assured that the musicians will be paid out of that.

Beginning Work on a New Album

I am very excited to announce that tomorrow morning, shortly after 4am, Hosey will begin recording songs for our new album:Cavalry!... and I Don't Mean Horses. This one is going to be a wild departure from previous albums, even by Hosey standards. Less sampling this time around, more original components. Earlier Hosey tracks that are somewhat indicative of the new stuff would be "Ludicrous Speed", "Cribs", "Mode 7", and "Just a Few Seconds".

The album's theme, in typical convoluted Hosey fashion, is a post-apocalyptic Western-style nightmare of a young man who loses the love of his life to the seductions of a twisted cult. She is kept in a castle, cut off from the outside world. Unwilling to lose her without a fight, he hires the only person with the balls to take on the castle with him: a helicopter-piloting, sharpshooting cowgirl known only as Harriet. (Did I mention that horses and helicopters are the only means of transportation?)

"Excellence in Broadcasting"

Thanks to an under-the-radar ebay auction, Hosey just became the proud new owners of a 'fancy' microphone. The ElectroVoice RE-20. It's most popularly known as the microphone Rush Limbaugh uses... except that his is plated *in gold*!!! Gooooold!!!

I'm so excited for it that something came over me while I was doing the dishes... I ended up making this:

Enjoy. I have a feeling there might be more to come...
