RRRRRRREEEECAP!!! Good gawd! The first leg of COZZA FRENZY TOUR has been BONKERS!!!! From Texas, to Alabama, to Tennessee, to Georgia, through North & South Carolina, and on to Florida, we just raized some hell and contributed to one hellava freakshow experience night after night to rammed out venues and eagerly awaiting bass-heads (and their eager eardrums). FRENZY: Officially Caused. Massive thanks to all attendees, supporters, the community Orgs, to the killer road crew, and to PK SOUND SYSTEM, LUMATECH, and DJ VADIM & HEAVYWEIGHT DUB CHAMPION. MASSIVE!!!!! While raging the tour front, the digital album wobbled its way up the iTunes charts. Thanks to everyone that supported, listened and shared!!! As of today, the HARDCOPY CD’s are available in stores, or you can grab it from our lil’ shop at the Bassnectar Labs. Includes a free poster and lots of random notes and thoughts i wrote about my music and more. (mad thanks to all you hardcores who pre-ordered!!!! nutso!!) And in addition to keeping up with a tour blog as we wandered through some of the most internet inaccessible areas of the country, got a slew of video clips coming through the pipes…. some absolutely ragin crowd shots,

Cozza Frenzy Tour – Leg 1 in Review

bassnectar Oct 18, 2009

Miss Basscorsair here. We are somewhere in Kansas at a biodiesel station. I’m outside in my socks, jacking a weak wireless signal, and enjoying this brief moment of sunshine. Soon it’s back on the bus to drive balls out to Denver, catch a flight home for a week, and then onward to an (already) almost sold out Halloween with Conscious Alliance and the epic community extravaganzas in Detroit and DC. This experience has been awesome for little me out of the Northwest, having only ever been to TN out of the 30-something states we’re passing through. Biggest lesson learned? People are awesome everywhere. Thanks for the schooling, y’all. Although it all looks like fun and games from the crowd, the traveling life can be tough. You people are what makes it all worth it. Carrboro killed it, had an awesome healthfood store, gorgeous pottery, and I bought the ugliest hat ever (too ugly to post on the tour blog, if you saw me in Carrboro, you know.) Lorin’s cliffnotes on Carrboro: sold out @ the Cat’s Cradle: Thursdays are Fridays in Carrboro!!!! Elliott’s first night on lights, Lorin’s first night playing under the influence of Tzam Tzing Tea.

Boxed in Carrboro

bassnectar Oct 15, 2009

These girls have the greatest laughs. Meet Swathi and Megan, tonight, they have donned boxes to raise awareness about homelessness in Carrboro, and the awesome efforts they help coordinate to combat it. The organization that channels their efforts is called HOPE- Homeless Outreach Poverty Eradication. My favorite event they coordinate is Box Out, an annual fundraising/awareness event featuring live music, where people sleep outside in boxes they build together, experiencing a small part of homelessness for one night. All proceeds go to HOPE’s Community Empowerment Fund, a student-run microfinance organization that allows homeless people to apply for small loans so they can get housing/employment. HOPE also has a community gardens project, a literary magazine written by people on the streets, and ample opportunity for anyone to get involved and active in the massive hardships faced by those who don’t have a home. The shenanigans of this night took shape when these gals rolled in with their lovely display and we quickly determined it to be insufficient. A quick flirt with a bartender later, I came back with some cardboard and these girls went to town. Below, I have a selection of the lovely people who supported Homeless Awareness Poverty Eradication

Quick Shout From Charleston

bassnectar Oct 15, 2009

Just wanted to give a holla from the awesome Charleston, SC. Where people dance like there is NO tomorrow. Seriously, I’m stoked to be sitting at ass level so as to appreciate the boogie factor more greatly. This city treated me so well yesterday, complete with a swim in the warm Atlantic and (still not over it, I’m telling everyone) dolphins. Yes, Dolphins. I wanted to swim out to meet them, but Trevor, our audio engineer, told me there were sharks and the undertow would eat me if they didn’t. Charleston, I saw dolphins here. I love all of you, forever. And it’s the lasting kind of love because you sealed the deal by overfilling the Conscious Alliance bins AGAIN. Perhaps outdoing Athens. We, the hungry, and the volunteers are all incredibly grateful to you. This thought occurred to me the other day when someone on Facebook asked why we don’t have a food drive at every show: why don’t I let you all know that you can volunteer with Conscious Alliance, feed the hungry, get volunteer hours, and go to all sorts of shows for free by starting your own chapter in your city? And then we CAN have
