Hey, what are you doing this Friday night, bro? Hanging out with some buds at the roller rink? Dinner with one of those friends you feel out of touch with but continue to hang out with anyway? Faking the feeling of productivity by making “real headway” on your Netflix queue? Nice, nice. Yeah, I got some of that kinda stuff planned, too. Meanwhile, wanna know what hot-stuff London electronic-music producer Gold Panda is doing this Friday? TOURING THE DAMN WORLD.
Continuing to support his little-record-that-could, 2010’s Lucky Shiner (TMT Review), the other panda-themed DJ guy whose not Noah Lennox will hit the road for his first headlining tour starting Friday in Berlin. From there, he’ll continue on for what press releases often refer to as a nonstop whirlwind of worldwide tour dates “with no stopping in sight.” Although I’m reasonably sure that he’s actually going to be stopping lots of times. For instance, he’ll stop in Belgium for Artefact Festival, in Austin for SXSW, in Spain for Primavera… yup, all kinds of stoppin’ be going on. Speaking of stopping: I’m getting a sandwich. Later.
