Between Luther and Fargo, Twinkie, Muad’dib and I stopped by the 331 club and had some fancy drinks. Bloody Mary’s for them, and a Mamosa for me.
Then back on the road. (Drink responsibly and know your limits)
Vintage style posters…
Vintage style cash box…
We’ve been around this block before so we already knew it’d be fun. Jade brought us up again and low and behold, it was a rap show.
These guys didn’t even bother to stick around for the whole show so I don’t mind talking a little shit here. I can’t believe rappers are still singing along to their album tracks! Please stop lip syncing!
Still, I’m grateful and appreciative of the energy and it sounds like your mixtape is probably going to bang. Just get your show right.
Then….
and after Big Quarters…
^^^^I know, I know, I know….. blurry again^^^^
Oh, and by the way, we have all this stuff at EVERY SHOW. Sometimes more! Right now the 10 years strong hoodies are just 20 dollars if you pick one up at a show. (I’ll be working on the online ordering part of this stuff soon)
Meeting new people is half the fun. Friends of friends become just friends.
I didn’t forget your picture!
Oh snap! Is that a new TMF Opposition shirt?
A big special thanks has to go to Rob, who was the soundman for the nights show. He made Peter’s kick drum sound magical. Rick Ruben would have applauded. Rob is part of a band which can be found here –> http://www.myspace.com/battlefieldsdoom
THANKS ROB!!!
So if you saw this = http://heiruspecs.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/heiruspecs-last-of-the-record-buyers/
Then you knew that we were doing the Last of the Record Buyers thing presented by Brandon All Day of Big Quarters.
We got a chance to hear a ton of dope beats by some of the Twin Cities up and coming hip hop producers and then show how we go about making beats for Heiruspecs material. We brought out a bunch of shitty recordings of rough drafts and rehearsal tapes. We then played a bit and eventually tried to make something from scratch. Here’s a couple of pics I snapped while on stage.
NO FIGHTS AT HEIRUSPECS SHOWS! You’re all on notice.
Other than an unfortunate incident, this was a rediculoid show and we all sweated it out together. Good times. To the girl who grabbed my ass a few times; thanks! I wasn’t sure it was still there.
BIG QUARTERS PRESIDING;
Everybody get low!
I’ll say it again, it was an oven in there last night. So I appreciate all of the folks, especially at the front, for sticking with it the whole night!
We took the stage around midnight…
THAT JUST HAPPENED.
More info to come soon….
Hey all, it’s Felix -
Well, I feel like I just did the last newsletter a couple of days ago but I guess it’s been more than a week. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us at our shows over this past weekend. I have a soundset picture update coming late tomorrow. Heiruspecs doesn’t have any shows this weekend but that doesn’t mean we aren’t doing anything.
First off, I am proud to say that I am giving the commencement speech at Central High School here in St. Paul. Yes, that’s where Heiruspecs got it’s start so it’s a real honor to be asked to come back and say something good to the graduating class of 2009. This happens on Tuesday and I must admit I am a bit nervous. I have high expectations for myself mostly and I hope people don’t get bored with me like the expect to be with any speaker. To the rest of you Heiruspecs fans out there graduating this year, CONGRATULATIONS! Big things ahead for all of you, I know it.
Twinkie gave me the scoop on a show happening tonight (5/29/2009) at the 331 Club. BIG TROUBLE – 9PM to 1AM at the 331 Club in NE Mpls. The show is free and you can find them at http://www.331.mn/home.php. The place will fill with people for sure. Get there NOW.
Since we’re talking about Twinkie Jiggles, here’s something that hasn’t gotten a lot of light on this page yet. He is helping direct a hip hop program with workshops at McNally Smith College of Music - It features Toki Wright, Brandon All Day, New MC, Super Engineer Joe Mabbott and more. More details can be found here —> http://www.mcnallysmith.edu/newsevents/summerprograms.aspx
I spy Muad’dib on the front page…
You’ve known it for years but now there’s a little something to prove that DVRG is a Minnesotan making an impression. It’s kind of nice to know that you work with a real live hero. Right? I mean you never knew Clark Kent was superman did you? DeVon is actually a classically trained composer and all around music lover. You know how some clubs play classical music to get you to leave at 3am? Well, guess who’s just getting started. But I digress…
You can read about it onthe MetBlogs page - http://minneapolis.metblogs.com/2009/04/06/minnesotans-making-an-impression-dvrg/ and I bet you’ll be impressed.
As usual, more to come later!
Here’s a video of us at Soundset to tide you over.
