APRIL 2, 2008 VIDEO: THE ZEBRAMIX TOUR 2007 Seulement quatre mois en retard. Many readers of this website may remember that my Gettin' Euros Tour (way back in November and December of '07) culminated in an opening slot on the France-conquering Zebramix cavalcade of bootleg ridiculousness, featuring the eponymous Zebra as well as the fantabulousMoule. Even though I was fighting off an especially virulent Belgian strain of what I can only assume was The Black Plague at the time, we still managed to amuse ourselves. Monsieur Zebz brought along his video camera to document the festivities, and he's finally edited the footage together into a totally watchable 6-minute video, which he's posted to YouTube. Watching it now, I'm reminded of a variety of things: a) my French is terrible, b) I look like a dork when I DJ, and c) I have what they call "a face for radio." But still, we had fun, and this is some of the best footage so far of the events:
In case you're wondering what I'm blathering about in French at the beginning, I'm saying sometihng about how "I am DJ Zebra, and I forget where is the interview because I have many interviews each day," which was apropos of the fact that we had an interview scheduled in Bordeaux and Zebra had no idea where or with whom. I was just making fun but perhaps that doesn't come across in French. Anyway, thanks for posting this Mr. Masterfunk.
By the way, I'm also planning to return to the general vicinity of Europe in June and July, so for booking opportunities don't hesitate to get in touch at partyben@yahoo.com.
