Faux-chella 2011

Not unlike shaking the shit out of your Christmas presents, we present to you another mock (but not-unlikely) rendition of Coachella 2011's magnificent line-up.

Highlights:
Underworld, Tribe Called Quest, Crystal Castles, Daft Punk, Klaxons, Beastie Boys, Cold War Kids, Chromeo, Kan the louis vuitton don, Chemical Bros, Swedish House Mafia, Animal Collective, Empire of the sun, Neon Indian, The Strokes, Mr. Oizo, Fleet Foxes, Asobi Seksu... basically the entire line-up.

Best (and worst) of alternative CHRISTMAS music.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!  

'Tis the reason for the season, no not a Jewish baby/God incarnate, but the actual 12/25 holiday in the USA. So we're going with "Christmas" rather than the generic "holidays" (but that's a whole different topic for a different date). HighBird Productions is happy to give the gift of some of the best (and worst) alternative Christmas music.

If you're like us, you can do the strip mall/
coffee shop/DMV Christmas music for about a day. For the rest of december you want to go postal on anything remotely looking like a gingerbread house, no matter which list some jolly white haired diabetic puts you on.

Swedish House Mafia- Take One

Story by: Michael Martinez

With out a doubt 2010 will always stand as a monumental year for electronic music. As the year winds down, I have discovered gold for any true EDM fan and I want to share with you all. Virgin Records presents, Take One- A Documentary of the Swedish House Mafia. The film covers the experience of 285 gigs in only 2 years across over 15 countries.

I have been fortunate enough to attend a significant amount of shows in 2010. Witnessing sets from superstar after superstar, Swedish House Mafia EDC 2010 hands down my most memorable experience. Complimented with a life changing production set up, Swedish House Mafia's track selection took everyone on a journey we'll never forget.

So as the holiday season comes around, this could be your chance to be the coolest secret Santa ever. Don't miss out on your chance to relive the moment.

LA EVENT LIGHTING w/Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki at the Grove

Many of you reading this blog may want to know about the in's and outs of the "promotion" and "event planning" business. Well we've been extremely lucky in the past to work with a bunch of amazing sound and lighting companies. We have experienced a lot of fair treatment, respectful critiques, and incredible work ethic.

LA Event Lighting is one of these respected companies.

The most epic shuffle session ever.

Our event, Rocket in the Sky hosted some of the greatest shufflers Ventura County had to offer.

Check out some of the highlights from that amazing night.
