Spaced Invaders

Got 30 seconds to waste?  That’s probably how long it will take for you to get bored with this, but it sure was fun to pretend to be Daft Punk long enough to annoy your loved ones.

I think this is what Kanye used to make “Stronger”

Kulture Klash 4 is coming up on April 14th. The Spaced Invaders have been asked back to perform. This time in a larger venue. Gustavo Serrano, one of the people who puts this together says that the venue will be much larger and will have even more areas for us to project on. I’ll keep you all posted.

The Spaced Invaders were invited to perform at the Charleston City Paper’s Best of Charleston event. It was an awesome gig! For those of you who don’t know about the event. (Myself included) The event is held at the Joe Riley Stadium. The City Paper brings in all the “Best Of” winners to showcase their food, goods, etc., Bring in the alcohol vendors, and hand out 1500 free tickets to the City Paper’s closest friends, family, etc. And let me you, those tickets go fast. In fact they started handing the tickets out on the Friday before the event. And by Saturday morning they were gone. (Thanks to Blair the advertising director for allowing me to make a list to allow friends in.)

The event really kicked ass. Flatbroke and I dropped music in between each bands set, and they gave us like a 3-story video screen to project on. Check out the video to see some of the madness of the party.

In lighter note, the Spaced Invaders didn’t make the “Best DJs in Charleston.” But we did somehow make the “Best Graffiti Artists.” Which we’re pretty confused about thinking that I haven’t touched a spray paint can since my teenage years and Flatbroke has not touched a spray paint can since his early 20’s. We couldn’t help to make jokes the whole time we were up on stage about being the, “Best Graff’ers” in Charleston, when we know we’re DJs, we’ve always sent press releases out stating that, and there are so many good artists here that could definitely own that title. Anyway, I hope that after Wednesday the local press has a better grasp of what we do.

All in all, can’t thank them enough for having us out there and hope that we all continue having a blast together and we can elevate the scene and get something real going on in this city.

One last thing, I have to shout out to Bad Jon Photography. I still haven’t met the fellow, but he took that wicked photo of Flatbroke on the decks.

That is not a catchy title that is actually written in a police report from this woman, Latreasa Goodman who called 911 because she couldn’t get chicken McNuggets. What is even funnier than that, according to the police report, she called not once, not twice, but three times to 911 to tell them that McDonald’s ran out of McNuggets. I can’t remember the last time I even ordered McDonald’s McNuggets and was happy with the decision I made. Anyway, hit the jump to read the whole report.

Get tired of reading that well go here to read about another Florida man who called 911 because Burger King did not have lemonade.

So it appears that Sonar was the only one in Charleston who has never heard of the Charleston City Paper’s – Best of Charleston Party. For those as clueless to the event as I was, every year the Charleston City Paper throws a big party-concert for all the winners of the Best of Charleston awards. The attendees usually top in the early thousands. The folks at the City Paper have asked the Spaced Invaders to do fills in between each band, as well as do visuals for all them. That was really cool of them! However, the party is special invite only and this year they are only giving out 25 tickets to the public. This is straight from the City Paper website showing you how to snag one:

OK kids, we’ve got 25 pairs of tickets to give away for our annual Best of Charleston party on March 4. This year’s party will be held at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. ballpark (yeah, that’s the big baseball stadium by the Citadel). It starts at 6:30 and goes to 9 p.m.

We’re mixing things up this year, so to get free tickets you’ve got to prove you want ‘em. To enter, upload a photo of yourself with a mustache to your profile on this site. Leave a comment at the bottom of this page and we’ll choose 25 winners out of all the profile pictures on Monday afternoon. Funny wins. Clever wins. Searching Google for “mustache” and grabbing the first image you find LOSES.
NOTE: We will notify winners through the e-mail address listed on your profile. If it’s not valid, or you don’t check it, you won’t get the notice!

That’s from the horse’s mouth right there. Other than that I really cannot tell you much more about it. Truth is, I really don’t know much more than that. I’m supposed to meet up with the folks from City Paper and the production company sometime today to see how we’re all going to set up for Wednesday. I’ll post something else up when I know more. But until that time, get your moustache on!
