VS. EP Release Party
The show last night will remain in my memory for many years to come.
The Crowd, The Artists, The Vibe, everything was absolutely BUMPIN.
Since I first heard that Ryan Lewis and Macklemore were working on the VS. EP “Vocalist Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis have come together to create The VS. EP
A concept album sampling artists, such as Beirut, The Killers, The Arcade Fire, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many more. The album will be available for free download with a suggested donation beginning 12/15/09.
I couldn’t wait to hear the final product. After a little finagling I acquired an advance copy from Ryan and it has been on heavy rotation since. I was lucky enough to book them for the Bellingham EP Release party at
The Wild Buffalo. Mad Rad rocked a set before Macklemore and as usual they brought energy beyond what seems humanly possible. I question if Buffalo Madonna is not at least half alien.
Mad Rad’s live show is only matched by their work ethic and high quality music. P Smoov, Radjaw, Darwin, and Buffalo Madonna learn about them. These guys are definitely OutForStardom.
Crowd surfing, fans on stage, and performers in the crowd really blurred the line between performer and crowd and create a vibe that was truly dope.
The show was captured by the consistently beautiful snaps and time lapses of Matt McDonald
Along with Matt we also had Jeremy Dubbs and Nick Ennon of the Funner / WildCard production/film crews in the house who will be releasing some HD video footage of last night in the near future. If you didn’t make it out, well, at least you now know what not to miss out on the next time it happen.
