Times will get bad

Well I have something great for you guys  today. Finally something from the band  that I got the name from formy blog, which I have to say is long overdue.

What can I say about Pretty Lights, easily my number one band. I will not go into a long winded post about him, as I could talk for hours and hours. I will save that for when the new album drops that he has been working on in studio. I will on the other hand talk about the music video that he has made and that I am going to post right here for y'all to watch and enjoy.

The video is called We Must Go On and the name says it all. Times do get bad and terrible things happen, but we must go on. We must pick out selves up and continue on even when we think we can't. There is and always will be another day to fight for, to live through. The video does this perfectly viewing the world, the people, the scenery in a beautiful way. The first thing you get from this video is that it is pretty, fitting for Pretty Lights. The video is everything you can think of and more. To the children to the old man on the park bench, to the train showing that time never stands still, that we keep moving. The whole video is well to me perfect, every shot is there for a reason to show that things do move on, that time does not stand still and neither does our world. There is beauty in it all, from the still dirty streets of New Orleans to the begging woman on the streets of Prague, no matter what it will get better and there is beauty there, you just have to look. That is the point of it all, that no matter what the beauty is there and even at their lowest they know life will go on for them and it will for you too, that my friends is how I view this video. I hope y'all enjoy this and the music to come, thanks for the support.

Dj Andrew Parsons.....A ATX gem

Andrew Parsons resides here in the ATX and is in my opinion one of the best kept secrets of Austin. Here is a DJ that last Friday opened at La Zona Rosa and the place was empty! I as a fan was very excited to see him and when I walked in at around 10 I was set to dance to another one of his awesome sets. To my surprise he had opened opened at 9 for the concert. I was sad to miss him, but I was more surprised to hear the person they had playing next.

Griz was the act between Andrew and Big Gigantic and I am not totally sure how that happened. Andrew Parsons by far puts on a better show and knows how to move a crowd and keep them interested. I was sorely disappointed to have missed Andrew that night and I am excited to see him again when he plays on 4/20 at Haven with Michael Woods.


Lets do a little run down of Andrew Parsons, because as a DJ this guy fucking rocks. He puts on a great show that will get you moving and dancing. His abilities for mixing are flawless and his ear for putting songs together is outstanding. He started in 2002 and dove into the Trance and Progressive music scene where he quickly gained notoriety and had his song Underwold Dreams used by countless DJs like Armin Van Buren and Above and Beyond. He has also played at festivals such as Nocturnal, EDC, and Ultra 2012. Andrew has progressed his sound even more now and has taken influences from trance and house and dropping dirty bass and made his own unique experience for you to dance too. While transforming him self and his music to what he is today he has played several guest mixes for big DJs around the world including Tiesto and Gareth Emery.

I was surprised at the end of the Big Gigantic show to see him passing out cds of his set from South Padre to patrons as they were leaving. Parsons I feel is a dj that does not get enough respect from the new listeners that are coming into the electronic music scene. I hope that Austin starts to realize that this guy can throw it down with the best of them and rock a crowd. If you have the chance go and see him at his many shows around Austin and you will not be disappointed. In the mean time listen below to some of his sets and songs that I could find on the interwebs.
