R.I.P Eyedea, Thanks For The Music

As some of you may know, Eyedea tragically passed away recently. After a few messages from fans wondering if I had any more footage of him, I decided I would go ahead and put the rest up here.
He was a cool guy, and when we asked him about filming he immediately said “film whatever you want, post it on the internet, just don’t charge people for it.”

Icarus Himself – Live @ The Union Terrace

TEFMAN – Live @ The Rave

Recently I made it up to Milwaukee to check out my man Tefman and his group LOSTSOULS open up for Wiz Khalifah at The Rave. The show was actually above The Rave at The Eagles Ballroom because apparently The Rave wasn’t big enough. I had no idea this show was going to be this hot!
