Wristpect LA Tour from WRISTPECT on Vimeo.

Quick re-cap of my last West Coast Tour (Los Angeles, California).

On May 20 – 24, I was out in LA playing some dates in Hollywood w/ my dude Sir Lancelot. We were at Cabana Club on Thurs, Beachwood Fri, Marbella Sat, and Empire on Sunday! Big shouts out to the man DJ Mike Danger for everything as usual – he is that dude! Between the club gigs, we connected with DJ Skee at his studios, caught up with the homies at Orisue, went by Mad Lion’s studio, did some shopping and ate a lot of food.. Look out for Bridging The Gap: Toronto – LA.. It’s coming! I’ll also have a video from this tour put together soon, in the meantime here are some pics..

Here is a long overdue re-cap of the west coast tour pt. 3 I went on a couple of weeks ago with my MC, Sir Lancelot.  We played 8 days straight (Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue) across Whistler, Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, & Niagra.  Here is a quick rundown of how it went down!

Tues Morning (Feb 24th)
Flew out of Toronto at 6am, and the idiot girl beside me on the plane broke my favourite pair of shades.. Great start.  We got to Vancouver early Tuesday Morning..  Chilled out with DJ Tanner for the day & drove up to Whistler later that night to rock Savage Beagle w/ Faction Soundcrew.  Whistler was good, as per usual, and I played sets back and forth with Tanner & DJ Arems.  The vibes were big (it was Lancelot`s birthday the night before, so he decided to continue celebrating), it seems like everyone in that little mountain town is always out to just get drunk and have a good time.  Right after, we drove back down the mountain to Vancouver, making sure to make a pit stop at 7/11 on the drive back.  As far as the last pic in this set, I found these products on top of DJ Arems fridge – what the..!

Wed Afternoon (Feb 25th)
Wednesday Morning, we took a bus, which then drove onto a boat, which then sailed to the island of Victoria.  Never before, have I been on a greyhound, which then proceeds to drive straight onto a boat, park, ride 1.5 hours across the water, get back on the bus, and drive off the boat..  Definitely weird, but also an interesting experience.. The boat itself was more like a 5-level cruise liner, complete with arcades, buffets, business lounges, and yes – used needle deposit boxes in the washroom :S The heroin problem is bad out there I guess.. After making it into Victoria, we checked in to the hotel, and played Felicita’s at The University of Victoria.

Thurs (Feb 26th)
We took the ferry ship back to Vancouver, cabbed it to the hotel downtown, checked in, went by the homie Hedspin’s crib where we got to preview some new remixes from Team Canada’s DJ Grandtheft. After kicking it with them for a bit, we went to Hunt.FM studio’s where I laid down another show/interview – which should be up in the podcast section any day now.  Straight from the studio it was back to the hotel to shower, get ready, and then walk down Granville St. to Tonic Nightclub where we played Thursday Night!

Fri (Feb 27th)
I woke up earlier in the day and dealt with a bunch of emails/business at the hotel, & then just worked on music for the rest of the evening till we ended up making our way to dinner at The Cactus Club Cafe (my homeboy Matty’s god brother is the head chef – he hooked it up large!)  The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch.. I can’t wait for this place to come to Toronto! After dinner, it was back to the hotel to get ready and head down to SHINE Nightclub, which we smashed on Friday Night..! After the club it was off to Korean Food with some promoters/friends, and then finally back to hotel at 5am.

Saturday (Feb 28th)
This was our last day in Vancouver.. We hit up all the stores/boutiques in the city: Dipt, Complex, A-Life, Goodfoot, Stussy, Livestock, etc. Big shouts to all of our sponsors for taking care of as usual! After doing some shopping we linked with the homies Flipout & Jayswing for dinner at GUU (very good Japanese spot in Gastown) which, to my surprise ended up being a LOT of GREAT food.. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel, got ready, hit 94.5 The Beat FM radio show with Jay & Flipout where we met up with GMAN, and then headed to Gossip Nightclub (Big Up Saturdays) to play from 12-2am. After that, we went by Stone Temple to meet up with Craig from Frontline & DJ Scene 1 to say whatup, before heading back to the hotel and calling it a night.

Sun (March 1)
Sun morning had to wake up early, pack up the mess of a room that was clothes, computers, cables, wires, etc. scattered all over the place, check out and make it to the airport in time to catch our 1pm flight to Calgary, where we were playing that night. Big shouts to our cab driver on the way to the airport, because if it wasn’t for his driving, we would never have made it to the airport in time..  We landed in Calgary around 3pm, got together with some old friends, and caught up over dinner after having checked in to, yes, yet another hotel.  After dinner, it was off to Opus nightclub where we played Sunday Night. Ps. explain how we get to Milestones, and the damn sign in the door says `Closed For Spring Cleaning – Come Back In 2 Months` what the hell..

Mon (March 2)
Tour’s a wrap. Back to Toronto.. Rockwood Monday Night.. Yes, no night’s off.. On the flight I woke up to apple juice spilling all over my thigh/ass/leg which made for a really shitty plane ride back to Toronto.. As soon as we landed and grabbed our bags, we headed down to Rockwood Nightclub for Toronto`s local industry night which was packed – lot of new and old faces in the spot! I played a couple sets but in all honesty, was tired as helllll by this point!

Tues (March 3)
It’s now Tuesday, again..? Really? Geez. The whole week flew by.. We are in Niagra Falls every Tuesday for a New Residency @ Dragonfly Nightclub. Checked into another hotel, got ready, handled the club from 10-3, and finally got some SLEEEEEEEP.

We put in work.
