Brother Bean: BB4 at Liv Ezey Ranch

Posted by Craig On May - 19 - 2009

Brother Bean 4
Brother Bean is thrilled to announce our first ever multi-day camping event: BB4! Building on the tradition of celebrating the band’s birthday with a private secluded show, BB4 will take place in beautiful Micco, FL at the newly acquired slice of paradise known as LIV-EZEY RANCH.

The event begins Saturday July 11th with the campground opening at 11am. Everyone will have time to get settled, perhaps take a dip in the pool, and have a cocktail before Brother Bean takes the stage for the first of AT LEAST 4 sets. There will be nice long breaks between sets to give everyone, including the band members, a chance to relax, take in the beautiful surroundings and enjoy one another’s company.

Included in the $15 ticket price will be admission to the event, your camping pass, limited beer and food and, of course the music. Tickets will go onsale this Friday May 15th here : http://www.brotherbean.com/BB4.html This is an all ages event. Kids under the age of 10 are free with a parent. No pets please. To conserve gasoline and limit our footprint, Brother Bean is encouraging anyone who can to carpool!

What you need to know about BB4:

Campgrounds open @ 11am

Brother Bean will play 4 long sets beginning mid-day on the 11th, and culminating with a late night set featuring DJ Craig Heneveld

Eric and Russ will revisit their side project from years ago called “Weez the Juice” with a sunrise set on Sunday. This set will appropriately be called “Ween the Juice”

A limited amount of beer will be included with your tickets, so be sure to bring the supplies you need beyond that. The free beer is just a little bonus, as is the pig roast!

Swimming will be available all day and all night, and even during the music!

Posted by Craig On May - 19 - 2009

I found this excellent interview with Nic Fanciulli. He explains “How to run a record label in 2009″. If you are an artist or a future record label manager I highly recommend reading this.

APC40 Performace Controller

APC40 Performace Controller

I just found out about this new AKAI midi controller that is made for Ableton. I have been waiting for this controller since I learned about Sasha’s live setup. Something like this takes live remixing to a new level.

From Akaipro.com

The APC40 is the link between human and computer that perfectly balances analytical parameter control with creative expression. Whether you are an electronic music artist and Live is your canvass, a DJ using Live to mix or remix tracks, or a more traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, you will find the APC40 to the intuitive, powerful instrument that directly links your inspiration with Ableton Live.
