    4. DESERT DAZE




    Client HOOVERIII, billed on the highly anticipated 10 year anniversary & return of Tame Impala - post torrential downpour chaos.

      Desert Daze poster (2014)

    I’ve been around Desert Daze’s journey and close to Phil Pirrone (founder) since its inception in Mecca, CA (2014), when Tinariwen performed a day time set -- bringing a literal sand storm. Blonde Redhead headlined just before Vincent Galo’s esoteric performance with heavy security flashing lights in people’s phones so no one could get a photo (didn't stop me from getting a photo with him and my twin brother earlier in the day). Ive continued to grow the relationship w/ DD via partnered events, closing further festival offers for my clients, and even leading the deal on a livestream partnership (see HERE)

    Projects with Desert Daze include:
    booking my clients Tino Drima and Vicky Farewell at DD’s new “Mountain” incarnation at Sweet Water - Mill Valley, CA (manifested in 2023) 
    Performing w/ my own band Mattson 2 at Desert Daze nights at ACE Hotel Palm Springs & at Desert Daze’s memorable 2018 Sunrise Set, where we played Coltrane’s A Love Supreme

    Booking showcases at Gold Diggers, Hollywood & San Diego Freakout Festival for my cleint Pearl & The Oysters

    Hooveriii’s Record Release show at Gold Diggers in Hollywood, and their appearance at the highly anticipated 10 year anniversary/return of Tame Impala - post torrential downpour disaster (poster above).
