BT / United Beats of Peace Tour

[KACHINA KEN]

So dunno if you knew but I do concert tours for a living along with corporate tours and shows in the off season, this is a listing of the dates for my next tour coming up, he's called "BT" and it's kinda pop-trance stuff he had a song on KROQ last summer that everyone thought was called 'Simply Being Loved' but it is actually called "Somnambulist" it's good music and there are a few other guys on the bill also, "Dan the Automator" and "Particle".

Dodie only sang on one BT track 'never gonna come back down" off the Movement in still life record. He was never in the band, BT always has an alternating troupe of musicians on each tour, this time out will be the following
RICARD FORTUS- Guns N Roses
New gtr for the gunners formerly of Love Spit Love and Psychedelic Furs and believe it or not Enrique Eglesias
Brain- also new Guns N Roses musician (drums) formerly of Primus. one of the best drummers I have ever seen.
Carlos Vasquez - keys and Mac G5 formerly of Digital Assasins

THanks for the info Ken. I was always a little confused about BT cuz I thought it was all Dodie:p
ARe you gonna be at all or some of these shows?? Just curious cuz I'll be opening for X at the Belly Up on the 21st if you're still in SD, or if you ever were.....
4th and B is a great venue. I did a show there last year for the ASR Convention......great time.

Yup, I gotta be there, I am the Lighting Director. But if I had my way I would operate VIA the internet somehow. Being on the road is kinda no fun anymore, rather hang out at the lake or at the house with my dog. Does this mean I'm getting old?

So that leaves a simple question. When are we going to the river.

BT makes some good tracks. Do you know what ever happened when he had his stuff stolen a couple years back. I wonder if he ever got any of his stuff back? I DJ also and if someone stole my crates I would be pissed! It's too hard to replace that stuff or even remember what was in them.
BTW Ken, I heard you ran into a friend of mine in Havasu last week. His name is Steve.

Hey Matt,
Yeah BT isn't the most worldly of people and he tends to trust people to much sometimes, I think you are talking about the incident in Watts in 01'? He was selling a yamaha O2R mixer and he took it to Watts for christ sake! needless to say he got his ass rolled by some homey's and he and his friend got away alive, BT suffered a shattered ankle in the whole ordeal from hopping a fence that had a 9 foot drop off on the other side (see white men can't jump). The other time he was ripped off was last year, it was shortly after he had a party and so you know the rest of the story. Oh yeah and someone stole his G4 laptop from the Billboard club after the record release party last year. Half this shit is avoidable with a lil prevention IMHO.
Yeah Steve is real cool, great kids too.

I don't even like checking my records in at the airport. Those are carry on items!
Hey BT, can I borrow your car? I'll be right back. ;)

Damn. That's a tight schedule. 1 month with no days off. Wowza! Hopefully the after parties make up for all the work!

Yeah, the management is the same for BT and the Crystal Method, they work the shit out of us!
