So I’m going to be DJ’ing a summer chill set with a british twist at Moonshadows in Malibu on June 20th with my buddy David Ireland.
I’m returning to the decks by popular demand after the fun and wax trickery at The Thompson Beverly Hills, the last time David and I DJ’ed together. It’s a vinyl only affair once again as I still feel like a faker ‘DJing’ with a computer and I don’t do CD’s. Come on down.

Man, myth, legend - Bruce Labruce is really going for it on Saturday night. This exhibition, in brought to you by Javier Peres & Flaunt Magazine is definitely not for the faint hearted, but it’s definitely one of the darker highlights of LA’s art offerings this month. So knock back a Belvedere cocktail and dive into his bloody world. There will also be a special performance on the evening that shouldn’t be missed.
See you there.

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN’S OCEAN RAIN TO GET BLASTED INTO SPACE
** NASA Astronaut to Take All-Time Fave Album to the International Space Station **
Move over Star Trek. Echo & the Bunnymen’s mighty 1984 album Ocean Rain will boldly go to the International Space Station on June 13th courtesy of astronaut Colonel Timothy L. Korpa.
Korpa, who has been a Bunnymen fanatic since his teens recently contacted the band via their website about his upcoming three-month mission on the ISS. Though Ocean Rain is Korpa’s favorite, he gave the choice to the band to pick which of their albums they would like him to take on his mission, saying that he would snap photos in space with the album and crew of the ISS and give the album back to the band as a souvenir when he returns to Earth. The Bunnymen ecstatically shipped out to Korpa an autographed copy of Ocean Rain right way.
The NASA mission happens to tie in with a box set reissue of Ocean Rain, set for release on May 30. The set will include a live version of the album recorded at the Liverpool Arena last November, plus a DVD documentary and booklet. The first 1000 copies ordered will be signed by McCulloch and guitarist Will Sergeant.
Ocean Rain, which has lived long and prospered since its release in 1984 was Echo & The Bunnymen’s fourth album and is widely considered their masterpiece. It mesmerized Echo’s fans and broke them to a much wider audience on the strength of such towering songs as “Silver,” “Seven Seas” and the unforgettable “The Killing Moon.”
The Bunnymen are currently in the studio putting finishing touches on their highly-anticipated tenth studio album entitled The Fountain, set for release later this year.
