MIKE GORDON MEDIA RECAP

March 24th, 2011

// MIKE GORDON MEDIA RECAP //

March 22 & 23

************************************************

On March 22 and 23, Mike Gordon came to Brooklyn Bowl. He rocked, he rolled, he bowled and he conquered. In his two-night stay in Williamsburg, the Phish bassist covered everyone from Beck to Alanis to the Talking Heads, played host to an onstage dance-off between audience members, and shared the stage with the Dude of Life. Joined by guitarist Scott Murawski, Gordon jammed his way through two sold out shows, rolling strikes and melting faces.

Were you there? Post your pictures of the night to our FLICKR group and your videos to our Vimeo group. Show the world what it’s like to get down at Brooklyn Bowl with Cactus. If you missed it this time around, check out the links below for recaps, photos and videos.

Motion Potion aka Robert Kowal is one of the Bay Area’s hardest working, most innovative, and versatile DJ’s; By pushing the Pioneer CDJ-1000′s technology to their limits, Motion Potion’s able to mix together any style, any genre, regardless of tempo -transcending the confinements of the usual dj genres. Legends like Isaac Hayes, Dr John, and Maceo Parker have all called on Mopo’s deep vault of musical knowledge to open their shows and rock their set-breaks. Mopo studies music like a historian; he brings a flexible, open-minded approach that can adapt to any audience -whether they dig the rare grooves, oldschool hip-hop, the new mash-ups, African beats, 70′s disco moves, Latin rhythyms, psychedelic jams, or any possible variety of funky treats. His only rule is that it must be funky: “If it ain’t on the one, he ain’t havin’ none.”
