Spaced Invaders

The Spaced Invaders were invited to perform at the Charleston City Paper’s Best of Charleston event. It was an awesome gig! For those of you who don’t know about the event. (Myself included) The event is held at the Joe Riley Stadium. The City Paper brings in all the “Best Of” winners to showcase their food, goods, etc., Bring in the alcohol vendors, and hand out 1500 free tickets to the City Paper’s closest friends, family, etc. And let me you, those tickets go fast. In fact they started handing the tickets out on the Friday before the event. And by Saturday morning they were gone. (Thanks to Blair the advertising director for allowing me to make a list to allow friends in.)

The event really kicked ass. Flatbroke and I dropped music in between each bands set, and they gave us like a 3-story video screen to project on. Check out the video to see some of the madness of the party.

In lighter note, the Spaced Invaders didn’t make the “Best DJs in Charleston.” But we did somehow make the “Best Graffiti Artists.” Which we’re pretty confused about thinking that I haven’t touched a spray paint can since my teenage years and Flatbroke has not touched a spray paint can since his early 20’s. We couldn’t help to make jokes the whole time we were up on stage about being the, “Best Graff’ers” in Charleston, when we know we’re DJs, we’ve always sent press releases out stating that, and there are so many good artists here that could definitely own that title. Anyway, I hope that after Wednesday the local press has a better grasp of what we do.

All in all, can’t thank them enough for having us out there and hope that we all continue having a blast together and we can elevate the scene and get something real going on in this city.

One last thing, I have to shout out to Bad Jon Photography. I still haven’t met the fellow, but he took that wicked photo of Flatbroke on the decks.
