My friends, the Dream Tigers link have the opening spot for Dr. Octagon on Friday. I've been looking forward to the show since I love both acts, but looks like I'll be participating instead!
I got a call from one of the DT's who invited me to sit in with them. Two members of their regular 4-piece won't make it, so I'm filling in a long with another friend of theirs. Mostly they just need the energy that 4 laptop'ers brings (versus 2) as they have the set covered, but they'd like me to bring some smapples to throw in the mix.
I'm thinking some funny voice yells, some cymbals and some one-hit sound FX. The DT's do a crunk acapella tracks over booty beats mixed with glitch and big 80s synth sections. Maybe some classic synth dives would be fun. Any suggestions for good smapples?
Weeeee! I'm excited!
Anyone else have stories of opening for someone you love/respect/admire? | |

I almost got to open up for Napalm Death but the show was cancelled 
We were also supposed to open up for L'Usine, but the show was running so late, he played first, so I guess you could say L'usine opened up for us

Sweet! Congratulations!
I heard that his new album [his 2nd, right?] is ace.
I only have a copy of his first, which is pretty surreal for hiphop.

surreal indeed. It's the kind of hip hop that I would actually listen to repeatedly.
Playing coachella sounds awesome! I've always wanted to go to one. Tell us more Azztroid!
