Mini Tour
So we finally go on our first tour…. more like a mini tour….
We were supposed to hit up Cleveland and Detroit, but had to pass on both cities to come back to Chicago for the Lollapalooza Remix Throwdown Finals at Double Door on Sunday August 1st. We decided to do this show and pass up on two because of sentimental value. Last year we won the contest and it was a blast playing Double Door. This year we’ll be playing on the official lineup with Hot Pink Delorean and Hey Champ. Hollywood Holt will be hosting the show and I promise you that Double Door will be a blast! Dani Deahl did an amazing job setting up the contest this year! I must say that I am stoked for the contest finalists to battle it out to play Lollapalooza. The finalists are all awesome and they’ll make a great match up against each other (More on the finalists here).
So….. we kick off our mini tour in Columbus, OH tonight at Bristol Bar then we’ll head over to Brillobox in Pittsburgh, PA! I want to thank Ashley at Yinzer Party for setting that show up! Check out her blog here! Then we head back for the Lolla Remix Finals then back out on the road to Mac’s Bar in Lansing, MI. On Friday the 6th, we’ll be returning to Tonic Room for a Lollapalooza after party with DJ Pasha, My Best Friends Party, and Mr. Meowgi! It’s going to be an exciting two weeks!

dC ‘The Session’
Before we became Punky Fresh, we made hip hop instrumentals… We were in high school and I would ditch my classes to work on music in the electronic music studio at Glenbrook North High School. We were such nerds and passionate in making music that we’d stay in til 8 or 9pm working on it at school.
Dan and I worked hard on what would become ’The Session’ from August 2003-March 2004. We released the album independently through gramCracker records on April 20, 2004. We were known as dC.
We deeply thank Mr. Chapman at Glenbrook North for encouraging us to make music. If it wasn’t for that classroom and Mr. Chapman, none of this today would be possible.
I haven’t listened to ‘The Session’ in years but in my mind, it’s a brilliant instrumental album. The post production on the album (mixing, effects, mastering, etc.) may not be the greatest, but the music itself, from melodies, arrangement and structuring blows my mind still today. It boggles my mind that we were only 17 and 18 years old and we didn’t sample anything, it’s pure organic electronic music. everything was original.
i would love to remix ‘The Session’ and per haps change some of the instruments, and definitely re-master it….
I have posted the album in its entirety for free in MP3, so if you’re in the mood for some chilled out beats, then enjoy our debut album from 2004. Stay tuned for new Punky Fresh material. I promise it will blow your mind to the moon.

WE’RE BACK!!! + MIIKE SNOW SAMPLED SONG!
Hey everyone, all of my websites got a little sick. Someone or something installed unnecessary .htaccess files in every folder in my FTP. anyway… I’m glad i got our site back in shape! Now i need to fix Effort Chicago, Effort Music Group, and 5 other sites…
So… We will be playing in Milwaukee on Friday at The Rave. We still have tickets for sale at discounted rate!
Buy ‘em here: http://punkyfresh.net/?page_id=815Saturday we will be playing in Chicago at Lincoln Hall for Midnight Conspiracy’s second Delorean Nights event! This time One Many Party is headlining!!! That would be Steve of Soulwax! I’m stoked! You can find tickets at clubtix.com.
Over a week ago we played with Midnight Conspiracy at Dead Fame, headlined by Le Castle Vania, D.I.M., and DZ. The show was nuts!
All of yesterday I was producing a track for my friend Lil’ B. Last time we worked together, we put out “Good To See You” which was a sample of Pinback’s “Good To Sea”. This time I sampled Miike Snow’s “Animal”. Let me know what you think!
