Humanity: LA’s fieldtrip to the I.E.

This past Sunday, French DJ Toxic Avenger and a crew of Los Angeles based DJ’s, Steve Aoki, Blake Miller, Paparazzi and Less Than Zero broke out the tables and performed in the Riverside Municipal Auditorium.

2008 Video Rewind Part 4 (Video)

A look back at a few more performances- Black Kids, Kristeen Young, Fires of Rome, Flobots

Black Kids

Nice live re-arrangements, espesh on lead vocals. Amidst the chaos I forgot to plug my audio recorder into the mixer upstairs in the VIP area, so the bass is raw. I think it’s former Liquid Sky crewmember slash Harmonie Korine muse slash designer Chloe Sevigny, who does a lovely ballerina’s standing split from the balcony.
