Haha. Just love it. Major Lazer did it right with the intro. to this song mayne! We find the remix of the Major Lazer track, “Baby (feat. Prince Zimbu), #12 on their Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do.

Walking into the Echo Curio, you can immediately tell you’re in for an intimate night at the venue. Rumored to be the place where people “first wore skinny jeans, and all the hipsters came to hang out in LA, way before everyone started wearing skinny jeans.” Although, we don’t know if there’s any truth to that, so best to check Wikipedia!

First we heard the comedy of the night’s host, Joshua Meyers, which was hilarious. We really had no idea as far as what to expect from the comedians. You know Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, Larry David and Eddie Murphy are some of our favorite comedians, and we generally have a pretty high bar for what’s funny, but the comedy was definitely enjoyable for the night! Plus, we had never been to an event that has comedy mixed with music, but the event kept us engaged the whole night.

Samuel Stewart was our favorite musician of the night, but all that we heard from the other musicians was also good. Fu, short for Fuquan, was our favorite comedian, although everyone made several funny jokes in their acts. We actually got to chat a bit with Fu before his show and he was good dude, willing to talk to us about whatever, and agreed to get in a few photos. So, we might be biased by that, but Fu is also straight hilarious, which you’ll see for yourself if you watch his video below.

Going to this show didn’t have the feel of going to your typical show. Everyone behind throwing the show, as well as the people attending it, were all super friendly and cool. It’s not always that you go to a show and feel like you could strike up a conversation with anyone, but the vibe at the Echo Curio was all warm and fuzzy that night, and not at all snobby and exclusive. Wait, nobody slipped ecstasy in our drinks at the show, right? Wait, it was a BYOB event, so never mind. It was a fun night beginning to end though and there was nothing not to like.

One thing that’s amazing about Samuel Stewart’s music is his raw talent as a musician. We can’t help but think about the whole “fruit doesn’t far that fall from the tree,” idea, given that his father is Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics. Naturally, Sam is going his own direction with his music, but right away we were struck by sheer musical ability from him, and the professional caliber of his music. Lots of people want to be musicians, but some people don’t just have it in them. Even for famous musicians, there’s a struggle in waffling on the quality of your work, perfectionism, self-doubt, etc., but we believe Samuel Stewart should be bypassing all of that (even if he might not be) because it’s clear that he has put a lot of hard work into his tracks and has a passion for the music he makes.

We’re probably also biased towards Samuel Stewart because we think the Eurythmics made such fantastic music: our favorite track being, “Here Comes the Rain Again,” although we learned at the show from Sam’s Manager, Angela, that “Sweet Dreams, is in fact, the most popular Eurythmics track of all time. It makes sense with the Marilyn Manson cover and all, but our favorite here is still “Here Comes the Rain Again.”

At any rate, we’re reasonably satisfied with how the audio came out in the videos below, but it was just too dark (among other recording issues) in too much of the clips. Remind us to shine bright lights on all performing artists we record in the future. Video drama aside, the show was still great fun and it’s too bad if you missed it!

Note T-Pain’s chain in the video, which carries the huge pendant like words “Big Ass Chain” and reportedly weighs 10lbs, has 197 karats and costs an estimated $410,000.00 USD according to T-Pain himself.
