  • writing up a storm…. plus Coachella & PR fests

    Posted by LaZae on April 29, 2009

    For the past few months, I’ve been giving my voice a lot of vocal rest (doc’s orders and fortunately now my vocal chords are back in business! ), but in the meantime, I’ve been writing up a storm. Demo’d out a few of the songs last night. Very excited about how they are coming out. I still have a lot of work ahead, but I’m more motivated than ever. This week, me and the LaZae band are going to be writing with Andre “Dirty” Theriot from Native Tongues, an amazing guitar player who’s flying out from Atlanta. We start tonight…can’t wait!

    Me watching Paul McCartney perform at Coachella. What an amazing experience!

    I was really inspired a couple of weeks ago after seeing a bunch of great bands perform at Coachella! Paul McCartney was the best performance by far! Incredible. That’s definitely the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing the Beatles first-hand. M.I.A was also a great show as well as The Killers, Leonard Cohen, Joss Stone and DJ AM w/Travis Barker. Plus, I discovered a whole bunch of new artists as well. Another non-musical highlight of the show was the food! I was impressed by all of the healthy choices. Anybody who knows me, knows how much of a health nut I am lol. Worst part of the show – the heat! Man I thought I could deal with any heat after living in Vegas, but this was ridiculous, especially since we had to stand out in it all day! But the discomfort was worth the whole weekend. Looking forward to going (and perhaps eventually performing :wink:) next year and years to come.

    Me & my Puerto Rican friends and fam!

    Also this month I had a great day of food and culture with my friends and fam. It all started one day when I woke up and realized that I have a good size Puerto Rican circle of friends and fam all living in the LA vicinity sooooo I knew there was only one thing to do – throw a Boricua party! We indulged our taste buds with PR food and drink like there was no tomorrow! ¡Muy sabroso! And then salsa danced the night away. My non-PR friends came and pretended to be Boricua for a day too (shout outs to my girl Jackie who changed her name to Rosa in honor of PR day lol).

    That’s all for now folks. I’ll post some pics from the studio later this week.

    xoxo,
