The Cobra Snake


Thought I might get a slightly more enthusiastic picture to debut on the Cobra Snake's website, but non the less. Here I am!!


Steve Aoki was mixing that night. Smalltown opened up for him and I must say, they killed it as always. I grooved way harder to their shit. Aoki did lay down some phat beats, but Smalltown just has this eclecticism that is hard to match. Aoki was so contrived too, putting on this show for the people and the cameras, crowd surfing and drinking vodka strait from the bottle. It was strange seeing him in action and not in the context of a still frame.
What I appreciate are subtleties in Smalltown's approach. They don't need their own personal paparazzi, they just drop the phattest beats and let the music speak. Their modesty mixed with confidence makes me go crazy, in a good way!

Smalltown DJs



I have been a fan of the Smalltown DJs for sometime now. My girls and I would go out and dance at the Night Gallery where every Thursday Smalltown would play. After graduating from university I moved away from Calgary, not realizing what else I was leaving behind. A weekly ritual of shaking my ass to Smalltown. Having moved back to the Calgs I have luckaly had the chance to pick up this past ritual of ass shaking. Smalltown plays a weekly set on Thursday nights at the HiFi Club which they have built from the ground up. Somehow they have managed to figure out a style that is totally their own and unique and eclectic.

Check out a couple of these mixes.

Shake shake shake yo body!

Check out their Myspace page (www.myspace.com/smalltowndjs) and listen to the "party like a punk" song. I soooo wish I had this track to listen to when I skate. I'd be bustin' doors for sure.

Tony Alva is aging very well.


Is it just me or is Tony Alva getting hotter with age?

Watch out for flying bean bags, no seriously watch out.


I would take so much joy throwing this at a certain someone, knocking them out, and then when they came to, watch them read this. Ahhhh classic!
