The Bullrun continues...
SO leaving Cleveland, Ohio, we came upon Chicago!!! Chi-town baby!! We hit Navy Pier as soon as we got in for a wander. Here we came across an awesome Latin band called Rico, heavily influenced by Santana. Amazing thing was the people were just getting up and dancing. Properly up for the fun, Chicago people.
In the evening, I played a set at the
Vertigo club which is the roof terrace club on the top of the Dana
Hotel. Happy days!! I must say, yes, the rally is about the driving and all the people you meet, but it's also about being in a foreign city and discovering what it has to offer. Chicago delivered fully!!!
The Bullrun 2010 begins!!!! Pt 1
It's a few days into the Bullrun now, the annual rally that sees some crazy cars, crazy action and crazy times. We kicked off the party before the start of the rally with a show at The Box in East Village, voted the best club in NYC last year. The party was a great opportunity to catch up with some of our friends stateside and an excuse to party it up til the early hours.
Next morning was the start of the rally, waved on by none other than Kim Kardashian. What an arse!!! Que culo!!!! (Check our facebook page for some video footage!!) Joining us on the rally was also the Original Gangsta Ice-T and wife Coco whose "favourite breakdancer of all time" is now Archerio after last night's performance. The Cubans got mad love from the Ice as he called us "the best thing out there at the moment".
We passed through the Amish town of Intercourse for lunch to finish the first night in Cleveland, Ohio. Another night of mayhem was in store for us as we partied on. Saturday night in Cleveland was like New Years Eve in London!! Everyone out on the streets hanging out. Wow!!!
The adventure continues...

40th Glastonbury. Happy Birthday!
Last weekend saw the Cubans rep the Singstar tent at Glasto - between the Pyramid stage and the John Peel Stage. If you walked into the tent, you would know this is the place for some uncomplicated straight up party!!! Thursday night saw an iconic star take the stage. Yes it's.... Vanilla Ice!!!! He did Ice Ice Baby and in the encore, I got to dance with him on stage! And then Friday night saw Belinda Carlisle and Saturday was Limahl performing Too Shy and Neverending Story!!! Amazing!!
Personal Highlights for me at the festival were Breakage, Vampire Weekend, Dizzee Rascal and Snoop. And to top off a great weekend was Stevie Wonder who did a greatest hits set. Incredible. Everyone was singing the songs back to him and there were definitely some emotional moments as we all experienced the church of Stevie.
Thanks to the Singstar/Iris crew for looking after us and the security team who got up on stage and danced on the last night - and of course everyone who came out to support us. We hope you had as much as we did!!
