SHOW Review - Out of the Box Fest, by Mechanical Forest Sound

Awesome time playing the first ever Out Of the Box fest. Esecially loved playing infront of a large screen displaying god knows, in 3D.

Thanks to Randal Harris for putting this all together and for including us.

Here is a brief description of our set and a photo from our friend Mechanical Forest Sound:

"I was more settled in as Davey Parker Radio Sound took the stage. Playing their first show with a new drummer (welcome to Mike Jacques), the band pumped out a series of snarling nuggets".


















And congrats to our new drummer Hawaii Mike for his excellent live debut with the band. It sounded nothing like a debut.

Hope to see you in a town near you.

i've been waiting

After entering The DPRS into mispace in 06 I quickly discovered The Hoa Hoa's & they quickly became one of my favorite bands. Since 08 it has secretly been my goal to share a stage with these beautiful psychedelic giants but it never happened, until this Friday night. I know it's a fest gig, but its still a major honour to go on right before them. Pop, Drone, Pedals & sonic bloom friends. July 2011 has been amazing.
