Everywhere I go, this is what I see:

As it turns out, Beats Antique just launched their tour on March 25th at The Fillmore in San Francisco – just one day before I started mine at the Night Market at Public Works. And it seems like I’m playing in the same city as them every single night for the duration of my tour!
Which is too bad, because I really want to see their show. I wasn’t lucky enough to get tickets to their Fillmore show (sold out months beforehand), though a couple
of my friends went and said it was amazing!
It would be incredible to go on a tour with them, though I don’t have any delusions that I could contribute much to their turnout or even keep up with their schedule (their tour continues for a few months). That’s probably why (according to ReverbNation) they’re the #2 electronica act behind Bassnectar. That, and the music rocks!
But my music is slowly starting to spread around. Someone in at the dance in Eugene had actually had heard my music in a Pandora mix – it’s not often that my reputation preceeds me. 🙂

A big thanks to the organizer,
Liz, for having me play. I was reminded of the first time I played for the Firehouse 5 in Sacramento or the weekly milonga in Los Osos – some initial apprehension on the dance floor because of unfamiliarity with the songs, but then the dancers really took to it after a couple of songs. Everyone who came up to me during and after the show enjoyed themselves – I can only hope that everyone else did, too. Though I know there are always some tangueros who simply gravitate towards a different style of music. That’s okay, too.
