Silent Disco at Folly Fest

I'm really looking forward to heading to the Village of Gagetown in a couple of weeks to have myself a time at the Feels Good Folly Fest. Especially because this year, they're trying out something new, which is the Silent Disco stage, where I'll play a DJ set under my goofy alias Daryl and his Boogie Buttons. If this year is anywhere near as much fun as last year, it is going to be ... a lot of fun.



If you have no idea what Folly Fest is all about, this short doc will give you some idea:

End of Pinky (Teaser)

The End of Pinky is complete! After lots and lots of hard work, by many very talented people, this little gem of a film is finally done. Here's a quick teaser of the 2D version (you'll have to go to a fancy screening with fancy glasses to see it in 3D):



I found this teaser in the article Brendan Kelly at the Gazette wrote about the film, which you can read here: Show Biz Chez Nous: Pinky on the brain

Piknic Electronik

Well it's starting to look like it's going to be a pretty fun summer. I'm pleased to be capping it off with a performance at Piknic Electronik on Labour Day.

Here's a neat little video that reveals the full lineup:

Evolve Festival - July 19-21 Antigonish, NS

I'm excited to be returning to Evolve this year to mix some bouncy bass music for everyone. Evolve was the very first festival I ever went to; going there kind of feels like going home. Silly times with silly friends guaranteed.



I sent them a pretty silly press photo, which you can see on my profile here.
