Death Of Some Freak pt6: the lion roars
Can’t really go without mentioning the lion…
Space Is The Plaaaaaace
Me and Prize made a wicked party together! Indulging our deep space stoner noodling, we were entirely uncompromising in our approach, played super weird stuff in nightclubs and threw a bunch of really great parties… we brought Flying Lotus over for a killer show, which was many people’s first exposure to his incredible sound. We managed to get Theo Parrish to play an extended set in the Mandarin Club to a couple of hundred heads (and I got to play before him!)
killler end to a killllllller night.. Mark P, Prize & FlyLo
And then, we went intercontinental… as I left Aus, Sofie and Benny joined the crew and brought Gaslamp Killer to Sydney’s shores and gave him a welcome he still raves about to this day. In the meantime I teamed up with the amazing Mooken and we pulled Cinnaman, Tiago and DâM-FunK to Manchester for their first solo gigs…
The Lion roared big time!
So me and Prize and Sofie all managed to get to go out for dinner with Theo Parrish, a couple of nights before his show in Sydney. We were all buzzing like madheads afterwards, and we went back to Prize’s joint, fired up the machines and jammed till 3am… We invented Paolo Rossi, and here is his only ever tune, conjured up on that hazy night…
