Mack Winston and the Reflections at Bardot Saturday/White Arrows at Temporary Spaces Friday

Alright, I just saw Diplo rip shit up at Dance Right and it reminded me that I gotta work on my DJ game before next week at Awesometown for real. So I'm not gonna go on about Mack this time because I've devoted enough djtomhanks.com jibba jabba to those dudes already. But, you should go to the show on Saturday night because A) they rule, B) I'll be there raging, C) it is free.




Also, you guys can catch Casper Adams in action at Temporary Spaces Friday night playing with White Arrows. Funny, if I was still doing first Fridays there the same band would be there. The scene is way too small sometimes. And it isn't just LA; it's everywhere. The same kids just batting each other back and forth. Whatever. See you at the rock party. Holla!

Jay-Z and Santogold Video. DJ Tom Hanks Signs Up For Imeem and iLike.

Hey yo...check out my multi-tasking: Hanks, in the third person, signed up for iLike and Imeem during the studying (law school, right). And to celebrate how on-point and touching the whole affair is, I'm throwing up Imeem's "single of the second" without even watching it. I mean, how could you go wrong with Jigga and Santi rapping over a Kanye Beat?
And while I'm not sure what you might be able to ascertain from more pages of data about Hanks, here they are:

Just for Comparison

Here's the original video for "Manipulator":

So I feel like it went alright...

me and brent's new monthly at temporary spaces started off pretty friggin hype for having two and a half days to promote and me being in arizona for two of them. we got asked back and are beginning our premeditated rise to the top yo. so lets "go all west coast on this one" and you fools better come through in a big way october 3rd. to hold ya'll over, here's brent's mixtape. and don't worry about being a download buster: its only 20 megabytes and rages hard.
oh, and we saw mack winston again last night at spaceland and i'm still convinced that they sound exactly like a rock band should in 2008. while i heard strokes tinges last time, now i know the truth: they don't sound like the strokes, they sound like tom petty imitating the strokes. i wanna remix them and hopefully, we'll get them cleared for october 3rd.
stay bad ya'll, stay bad.

Mack Winston and the Reflections Bad Ass Mp3

I forgot to add this to the last post: a friggin awesome new track by Mack Winston and the Reflections. It has this gnarly keyboard powering through the song with thick ass guitars and rhythm section dropping in right away. And homeboy can definitely sing. Watch out for the organs battling during the chorus.
Supposedly, they're making a video for this track too and if we live in a just world, it'll be huge. Or at least make it on my nemesis, Indie 103.

Mack Winston and the Reflections at Le Doux 7/28

Oh, and just because I mentioned this before, I thought I'd follow up:
Mack Winston and the Reflections are playing at Le Doux this coming Monday, 7/28. Also, the guys told me the Donnas are playing now too if you're into that sort of thing. And although I'm a little confused as to how rock bands can play or draw crowds at that kind of venue, it should be cool and I can't wait to take pictures with overly-busy Doux wall paper all over the background.




Did I mentioned these dudes know how to party?

Mack Winston and the Reflections

Hey, I saw Mack Winston and the Reflections Wednesday at Three of Clubs and they were bad ass. My homey does sound there and he said, upon arrival, "This is my favorite band in LA." Obviously, this type of comment always draws skepticism from my music snob side and I drank $4 PBRs patiently awaiting this best band hoopla.
Sooner, rather than later, they came on and ripped it real hard. I can't really compare them to anyone except like the Strokes, or something of that ilk...wait, new the Rambo is on in the background and Sly totally just said "Live for nothing... or die for something" and that is about the most awesome thing he ever said on-screen in a non South-Philly accent. Goddamn. Anyway, he's busting Burmese motherfuckers in the head with a bow and arrow and I'm sitting here shotgunning beers and writing about this band that forgot to send me their tracks. And, btw, is playing at friggin LeDoux next week! How hilarious is that?
Anyway, they were raw. And peep the myspace in the meantime until I throw up tracks bc I swear it will happen sooner rather than later. And if anyone cares to expedite this process, email the mf-ers at mackwinston@gmail.com or drop intense myspace comments begging for free tracks. Holla!
Ok, the track is called "Dark, Dark Night" and I really hope that the (5-9) that showed up with it is supposed to be there because it is infinitely more badass that way.
